Dave Gettleman is only hiring 'computer folks' for show and won't actually listen to them

He's hiring computer folks. I was joking when I when I saw that clip that it really is like your dad when he gets too many viruses on his laptop... He's not going to actually listen to them. No, that's the thing. He's just hiring them to say that he has computer folk.

Gettleman's tenure was widely criticized for failing to modernize, and he was eventually replaced by Joe Schoen who fully overhauled the analytics department, suggesting the initial 'computer folks' hire didn't change much.

Jerry Jones will fire Jason Garrett at halftime of one of the wild card games

I actually think at this point he will fire Jason Garrett like at halftime of one of the wild card games just so that we can talk about it or he might just give him a contract extension on the 14th.

Jason Garrett was officially fired on January 5, 2020, following the wild card games, but not during a halftime show.

Matt Rhule will be the next head coach of the New York Giants

Who do you think gets the job for the Giants? Matt Rhule. If [Rhule] can get his own Smock I think is going to be the Giants.

Matt Rhule signed a massive contract to become the head coach of the Carolina Panthers just days after this episode aired.

Urban Meyer coaching the Cleveland Browns would be assisted suicide

Urban Meyer coaching the Browns would be assisted suicide. He cannot—he is the man who losses kill him. They take away part of his life like the battery life in his body. If he goes to the Browns he will die.

Urban Meyer did not coach the Browns; he eventually coached the Jaguars, which was indeed a catastrophic failure that ended early, supporting the spirit of the take.

I love the DJ Moore trade for the Bears because it clears cap space for Max Crosby or Tyler Linderbaum

I love this trade because you clear up money. [DJ Moore's] got a big pretty hefty contract so you clear up money to maybe go get a Max Crosby or a Linderbaum. You get a pick and you make the bet that Luther Burden and Rome Odunze are gonna be taking leaps forward.

The trade is real in this transcript's timeline. The outcome of the cap space usage depends on free agency results.

DJ Moore would not have had a 1,000-yard season if he stayed in the Bears' offense

He could have a thousand yards [with the Bills] and be like, wow. How, how could you trade him? He wouldn't have had a thousand yards in this Bear's offense.

Moore finished the 2023 season with 1,364 yards for the Bears, so this retrospective hypothetical is likely incorrect as he had already proven he could do it.

Malik Willis is the #1 free agent backup quarterback

Top quarterback free agents... Is it also Malik Willis? Malik Willis is, yes. So he's number one. Malik Willis one.

Willis was traded to the Packers in 2024 and performed well as a backup, but ranking him #1 over established vets is a subjective value judgment.
