What Derek said
“Is Jalen Warren the most underrated running back in the entire NFL?”
— Derek Brown, setting up his data-driven argument for Warren's elite status.
“I'm not telling you that Dak Prescott played well... but the second half, I thought he played really good football. He gets credited with two freaking interceptions. Both of them get popped up in the air and Jake Ferguson apparently has forgotten how to catch a football.”
— Derek Brown defending Dak Prescott's performance.
“Follow the money. What are consumers doing? ... If you can track the dollar, if you can see in real time where consumer spending is going, that's the most fundamental alpha in the world.”
— Derek Brown
“The reality is the same attention that has been paid to capital markets has not been paid to consumer spending, even though it's $20 trillion a year.”
— Derek Brown
“It's not rocket science. Show me your day book, show me your checkbook, and I'll show you who you are.”
— Derek Brown
“It's not okay. So it capsizes everything you want to do.”
— Derek Brown on the Packers' offensive line ruining Matt LaFleur's game plan.
“He's not the drag rod artist. He's not getting a 30% target share. Rashee Rice has a 9.5% target share. That is wide receiver five type of market share usage. How is he a wide receiver two in ECR?”
— Derek Brown on why he's lower on Rashee Rice than consensus.
“You draft this guy fifth overall to put him behind Tyler Algier and just prove that you are all idiotic.”
— Derek Brown on the Cardinals' usage of Jeremiah Love.
“I don't know if Bryce Young keeps this up the totality of the season... But sure... I feel good about Bryce Young.”
— Derek Brown, on trusting Young despite shaky underlying metrics.
“Doesn't this list in this show feel like a show we would be doing it like week eleven, but it's only week three?”
— Derek Brown, on the depth of waiver wire and late-round picks needed due to injuries.
“We just saw what Dalton Schultz did to the Bengals defense. Pulled his best Brock Bowers impression.”
— Derek Brown, using a recent example to highlight Pat Fryermuth's potential.
“Ben Johnson just feels like one of these uh head coaches that the mentality and all of this like wannabe Bill Belichick grindstone. I'm a hard-nosed coach and all this kind of crap. That wears them players, man.”
— Derek Brown on the potential clash between Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.
