I like having Louis on the show. Hes very knowledgeable, well spoken, and gives back just as much heat as he gets, and doesn't just say stuff for shock value he brings an actual argument with him
Man I always respected Louis Riddick but hearing him say "don’t use QB wins with me" I gained more respect. For the people using wins and losses as a QB stat I guess Jimmy G is better than Kirk, Tua, Herbert, Trevor right..
Well its like taleeb or talib kweli. If its hard try spelling it phonetically, if not then just let it be😂😂😂 (reflection eternal, the blast, talib kweli and dj hi-tek 2000)
I agree with Stephen A, the Steelers defense is too good to be performing outstanding every season just to lose in the wild card every reason cuz the offense has no leader. Heyward and Watt aren’t getting any younger.
Most likely Cam’s last year & TJ has 2 yrs left on contract. If we can’t make it to the conf. champ game in next 2 yrs TJ will walk. He deserves to be apart of a contender and we won’t be that if we don’t sign a QB.
@@justingabriel1765Good doesn’t win you a Super Bowl. I’m tired of all the blame being put on Canada. I swear nobody in this fan base watches the film on Kenny Pickett.
@@ThomasjeffersonIII pfffft yeah it does lol 😂, Brock Purdy was just in the Super Bowl and he was playing great, but we know he’s not some Uber talented QB he’s just really good. That’s all you need to contend, cause Josh Allen hasn’t reached a superbowl, Aaron Rodgers has only 1 over a decade ago and he’s one of the most talented and greatest QBs to play the game. You need at least a good QB to win a Super Bowl, because with TJ Watt your defense will be good. If your tired of people blaming Canada then I guess you just like him, cause in almost every game I saw from the Steelers I was so confused on the play calls, would throw when they should run, and I’m honestly not sure they had any game plan to help Pickett. It’s like Justin Fields in Chicago like I don’t think they play to his strengths enough, you need to help your QB by building an offense around their strengths otherwise your forcing them to do things they aren’t good at and that’s going to hurt you.
The Bears don’t have a QB issue they just have the number 1 pick and everyone is stuck on you have to draft a QB high lmao that’s why every year they keep talking about 3 QBs going in the first because they are desperate for QBs to be the main guy in a complete team sport. Kenny Pickett shouldn’t have been a 1st round pick but he was because he was a QB. They were talking about Desmond Ridder going in the 1st before, even Hendon Hooker. JJ McCarthy won’t go in the first round neither will Penix or Bo Nix. Jayden Daniels will go later than people think. Sports media has made the draft all about QBs being taken in the first round and then sending them to start their rookie year. It’s ruining QBs
I legitimately am confused why Louis Riddick isn’t a full blown NFL GM other than team owners being insecure knowing he’s more knowledgeable than them.
Louis makes a great point. If the Bears draft Williams, we could be hearing the same speech that we heard about Fields being bad applied to him. Fields deserves a reset somewhere else and a chance to get out from under the poorly managed Bears.
i totally agree with louis, but gotta say rg3 had the dmv going crazy for that one year.. EVERYONE had an rg3 jersey and he was supposed to be the one🥹
It´s actually funny coz, the last szn (22-23) Stephen A said " We got ourselves a QB in Kenny", right after he won against the Ravens. things changes quickly folks rsrsrs
Stephen A. was pinpoint accurate, in his response to Louis Riddick , when he " the Commanders are going to be terrible" next year . Stephen A. realizes that , rookie quarterbacks rarely turn teams around in their rookie year . What CJ Stroud did with the Texans defied the odds and I really don't think that either of the top quarterbacks will lead a winning team next year .
Having Louis on truly shows how unremarkable of a sports analyst Stephen A is. He relies too much on bluster and his personality to the detriment of facts
The problem with the quarterback talk is not only that organizations are too hasty, but also fans and people that talk about them. Rookie Quarterbacks in general to me need three years maybe four to really develop and flesh out their game along with potential. In a team game I would rather build around the position before taking a number one pick at the QB spot
A solid QB to the falcons would make a way bigger impact than Washington or Steelers. You’re talking about Rudolph, Pickett and trubiski ??? How about Mariota and Ridder… cmon bruh
It's sad Rudolph is a free agent. Iv been pulling for him for years... completely out performs Pickett & we still are gonna stick with Pickett. Idk what my steelers are doing but it's not normal
Yea I watch a few all 22 on Picket and he struggles in the pocket. Sometimes it takes a lil longer. But I’d make it the Steelers last year with dude fr. Can’t blame Canada for dude being open and him just not seeing them open
I love how Louis contradicted himself 😂 you believe in Kenny Ben the starting 2-3 but Washington needs to draft a QB and Sam only a year in as a starter to go get another young man? But you believe in Kenny 🤦🏾♂️
I'm seeing the pattern in all the QBs that Louis doesn't like, surprise surprise. It's insane that he doesn't mention the Cardinals, Falcons, or Broncos.
I love Louis, but if he thinks Washington are a player away after trading their two most talented players in the defensive front, he's watching a different league than I am.
I’m not expecting to much out of us this year but we got a really bright future we just need to hit on the qb. Most cap in the nfl, 6 picks in the top like 105 or something like that and we just got the top gm candidate(Adam peters) who was the main scout for the niners and drafts very well. And Dan Snyder is long gone now which is the biggest part.
Both the Falcons and Steelers should be absolutely desperate to get Fields. Falcons would easily be the best team in their division and the Steelers were already a 10 win team without a QB he could really take them to the next level
Yep, a poor O-line, and a HORRIBLE OC on his own for the FIRST time, and add the WORST D in the NFL, and lets blame it on the QB! Especially since he led the league in passing yardage, with SHORT receivers and a mediocre TE, for nearly half the season in his 1st starting season?!?!? Sounds real "analytical" to me...
Steven A wants Cousins to crawl back ? Smh what a hypocrite he always trashed Dak Prescott. But if i remember Dak Prescott owns Cousins. Cousins is below Dak but yet you'll take him as your Qb. Smh what a chump
It’s not a bad idea, but I think they’re thinking on the price tag Fields in the ‘25 season. If the team is solid all over and have a potential solid QB on the cheep they can spend money of other positions.
Jamarcus Russel /Kyler Murray/Sam Bradford/Tim Couch/Alex Smith/Jeff George/Vinny Testaverde/Terry Baker/Steve Bartkowski top picks in the draft all like Caleb Williams had very special skills all were generational talent all were different levels of busts.

Pickett has 13 TD passes in 24 starts. Man is trash
“I don’t know about that”
I legitimately am confused why Louis Riddick isn’t a full blown NFL GM other than team owners being insecure knowing he’s more knowledgeable than them.
because being a GM is a wee bit more involved than saying I like this player or that player
Cause he's actually not
Once upon a time he was considered for the Steelers GM Job, but he pulled himself out by resigning with ESPN. He's definitely got the mind for it.
ESPN is really paying this dude to come on TV and talk football and he calls Caleb "Khalib".
The Patriots have to nail this year’s draft picks!
I agree but the normal nail the defense but the have to hit on the offensive picks this year
Yep, and they need to make some moves in FA to address that Oline
not necessarily, just get stable picks

That has been a strength in over a decade and change..... especially on offensive

Louis Riddick should be a GM in the NFL plain and simple, hes knowledge, intelligent 🤓 and astutely breaks down film and personnel.
Why’d they cut the clip off when Riddick was actually saying something that made sense

How does a “basketball insider” “check” a professional like louis??
Two men yelling at each other
All of them.
Justin Fields put the ball on the ground 38 times in 3 years...
38
He had to do it all in Chicago. He looked good last year. Better than anything the Steelers and falcons have.
Why is it always a problem to pay black QBs?
At least Washington had a capable qb as far as slinging it. Pittsburg def needs a stud. Louis is tryna throw away another qb tho lol
Neither are correct. The Falcons would've been a playoff team last year if we had either Howell or either of the steelers QBs
Ehhhh.... I'm not sure if I agree there. EB made Howell look better than what he actually was.
I think Rudolph did pretty well last season. Mitch was terrible and that cost them a few games.
I'm not sure if he knows about that. Say it a few more times bro
