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
That’s because he’s been a great player and a great GM.
He’s not about the hyperbole or the nonsense-just the facts.
Man shoulda been hired for a GM job yrs ago
@@kareempusey5032there’s a reason he hasn’t had a job
@@andrewfalconer8599has never even been a gm he was PLAYER PERSONNEL
@@frederickwilliams9204 Oh, I stand corrected.
I’ll always ride with Louis and his takes. He has been right about a lot of his takes
“Start over? HOW ABOUT START!” Got me in tears 💀
😂😂😂
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..
when he was healthy he was their equal
Herbert ain’t in this tier he carried worst 2 minute drill coach and 32nd o line as a rookie
I mean if he wasn't made of glass he was easily better than all those guys, dude did go to the Superbowl and helpwd lead another team to one as well.
“Khalib Williams” 😂😂😂 mad dog is ridiculous
Bro how does mad dog keep calling this dude Khaleeb Williams 💀
His inner racism can't contain itself
😅😅😅
@@khbrown8963 bro….. ur disgusting as a person. Stirring the pot
He trying to give his name some black af1 energy. 😂
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)
“Start over??!?! how bout start” 😂
Louis is Passionate today! 😅 I love it!
🗣️ TALKKK LOUIS They Dancing around 😂😂 the question
" Your being very emotional this morning" lol...I love it!
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.
Arthur Smith had an arsenal of weapons in ATL and failed to find a game plan to use all of them effectively
Honestly, they just didn't have a QB
No qb. Pickett better than ridder
@@luhRvckthey both are garbage
@@EdwardWilliams-sn1unHonestly they tried to run the pistol offense with a pro style QB the dumbest thing I seen recently.
@@luhRvckpickett is also dogshit
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.
As a steelers fan I agree
They were bottom 10 defensively last year in all major statistics other than turnovers…
@@tj-23 not true
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.
Go sign Kirk or Baker. We need to win now
Mad Dog called this man Khalib Williams😭😭😭
Neither of these guys is wrong. A great draft at these positions would skyrocket either of these teams chances in the playoffs
Facts Louis. That Commanders coaching staff that’s been assembled by Adam Peters and Dan Quinn is loaded this year
Riddick: “you wanna throw Mac jones out 2”
Mad dog: “yessss yessss”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stephen A "do you believe in Kenny Pickett?"
Louis "i do"
Stephen A "wow"
Seems like fan bases love destruction
I mean I think he can be good if you give him a competent OC and a scheme that works
@@justingabriel1765 He's trash
@@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.
"Do you wanna throw mac jones out too" YES! 😂
Jason Whitlock at home watching ESPN mad asf like he do every day😅
Right 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣where'd that come from🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waffling a triple cheeseburger with bacon
You’re clearly unemployed also. You probably sitting on the couch with him
@@ChristianStrawser-xv7rv wow......lol must be a Whitlock fan lol
As a Bears fan, they better trade that first overall pick for 4-5 future first round picks.
No lie, a lot of teams will self implode trying to find the next “Mahomes”.. Caleb doesn’t not make quick reads at all, and needs time for plays to develop!! The NFL has a different level of pass rushers and disguises in defenses!! Williams is naturally gifted for sure, but I hope has the work ethic and intelligence to go along with that, or it’s going to be rough for him!! I’m with you 100% tho!!
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
Totally agree. I feel bad for players that play non Qb positions to have such great seasons but be overshadowed by a Qb 🤦🏾♂️
I agree with what you wrote, but feel teams will keep reaching for that QB from heaven!!
Daniel's will go early, 1, 2, or 3!!!
Lmao Louis was the one who checked them 😂😂😂
Louis is my favorite now
"Kirk Cousins can crawl back and I'll take him" 😂
😂😂😂
I love how they wound Louis up!
Much Respect to Louis Riddick
“I don’t know about that”
Nobody:
Mad Dog: Khalib Williams
Pickett has 13 TD passes in 24 starts. Man is trash
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
QB
That has been a strength in over a decade and change..... especially on offensive
KHALEEB WILLIAMS
SAS hasn't cared about his Steelers whatsoever until today 😂😂😂
Wen it comes to espn football.. it's Unc & Lou... dats it.. Louis is always on point wit his opinions and analysis
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
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🥹
Isn’t the dmv like 3 different states?😂I garuntee they weren’t rooting a dc team unless they were right around dc
@@kylewade8704you would be wrong lmao. Dc, Maryland and Virginia loved that man when he got here. Never seen more redskin jerseys that year.
One season 😅😂😄🤣😆
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.
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
🗣️TALKKK LOUIS 😂😂😂 They Dancing around the corner
6:40, Louis Riddick was FIRED up today🤣😂What did Stephen A. and Mad Dog Russo do to him!🤣😂
I’ve known Kenny would be trash since they wasted a first round pick on him when we could have probably got him in the 3rd or 4th 😂
ESPN is really paying this dude to come on TV and talk football and he calls Caleb "Khalib".
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
Im a Texans fan, and the NFL is better when the Steelers are playing great football . With that being said, Justin Feilds will be a great fit for the steelers. He is built tough and will bring life to the Steelers franchise.
Don’t ever disrespect RG3 like that again Lou, I’m glad SAS called him out !! 💯
completely random but SAS suit is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why’d they cut the clip off when Riddick was actually saying something that made sense
The music is loud
Washington hasn’t had a franchise QB in 40 years..nuff said.
As a Giants fan, we’ve been screwed
I agree these QBs is Rookies it's tough
As a Giants fan I'll take Fields over Jones any day

Louis is the best man
Facts
Stephen A could NEVER check Louis in football 😂😂😂
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 .
Louis Riddick should be a GM in the NFL plain and simple, hes knowledge, intelligent 🤓 and astutely breaks down film and personnel.
Please show Riddick this segment because, obviously, tomlin did not feel his way about Pickett since he traded him.
Stephen A. asking can I speak? After Mr. Riddick refused to be shouted over. 😂
I keep forgetting about the washington commodores 😂
They don't care about you either
Salty 😂@@zacharyminor9593
@@zacharyminor9593cool come back kiddo 😂😂😂😂
He needs to be a Gm man
Justin field is definitely going to get traded 😂😂
I think Washington should keep howell as their starter and give him some offensive line help. Hard to produce when your line couldnt protect a babys bottle
All of them.
Pats just need to get QB and work your way from the trenches up. They got a lockdown corner in Gonzales and the defense isn’t that bad
Washing need to get some Olinemen who can pass protect
As a Pats fan, I'd like to have Drake Maye. But the ideal scenario is pats trade 3rd rounder for Fields and then draft MHJ with the 3rd overall pick.
I don’t understand how you criticize Justin Fields for not winning in the pros with a terrible situation and say that’s why you should move on from him, but you’re moving on to Caleb who didn’t win in College. Not even saying it’s wrong or right, just a terrible argument. It’s clearly not about wins.
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
This man really just said the NFC is wide open as if the Commanders have any form of chance to get past the 49ers, Lions, Eagles, Cowboys, or even packers
It's Pittsburgh, KP has basic fundamentals deficits like processing and accuracy
It’s more than that. He has a weak arm. You can teach some things but he doesn’t have any raw talent. He was a career college QB for a reason.
@@ThomasjeffersonIII facts forgot to mention maybe the weakest arm in the league
An extreme straight man vs an extreme heel is uncomfortable to watch
🤣💯Louis
All those picks you showed was based off the WR faults. It wasn’t the QBs fault of
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
LOU is what you look for in a GM
Jayden Daniels behind that bad OL hope he protects himself …
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 🤦🏾♂️
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
After watching this segment, I can understand what the "A" is in Stephen A. Smith. His bombastic style makes him very hard to watch.
How does a “basketball insider” “check” a professional like louis??
Ngl justin fields is gonna have the marcus mariota career which sucks as a titans fan
Falcons need a quarterback more than all the teams they spoke about
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
Magic Johnson only owns 4 percent of the Commanders. He doesn't make any football decisions. Stop mentioning Magic Johnson.
I'm not sold on Pickett. He seems to possess average athletic traits. He doesn't have to have Lamar's quickness and Mahomes arm, but he's not even close to either one. He's not quick enough to avoid the rush, and his arm is not strong enough to throw through the weather in the AFC North.
Man being a falcon fans suck. We're clearly the team that needs the quarterback the most and we get no mentions whatsoever. In the super bowl commercial about birds. They left us out
We gonna revisit this Arthur Smith offense at the end of next season and boy I can't wait. 🍿 For the train wreck just around the corner. Like seriously, Steelers might as well bring Tebow in to be the Quarterback with Smith calling plays. Don't say I didn't warn the Burgh!
Two men yelling at each other
Mark Rypien led the Redskins to a 14-2 season and a super bowl championship in 1991. Doug Williams in 87. Joe Theismann in 82. Sonny Jorgenson and Billy Kilmer in early 1970s won another super bowl thats 4. The Minnesota Vikings haven't been to the super bowl since the 70s lost 4 of them and havent had a franchise QB since Fran Tarkington in those same 1970s. Stephen A bringing up Kirk Cousins... PLEASE.... PLEASE. Dont know nothing about football. No way Kirk Cousins is leading a roster void of talent like the Vikings anywhere. They should bite the bullet and trade JJ and get their QB.
Which team? The Atlanta Falcons!
I'm having a hard time thinking Kenny Pickett is fixable.the things that are causing him problems that lead to bad fundamentals aren't correctable.arm strength and hand size you can't change.when you don't have a big arm your always trying to buy time to set your base that alone throws all the timing off.yoy have to have the arm to throw off bad angels and a dirty pocket.
A T L A N T A ENOUGH SAID!
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
How is the NFC East wide open???
Cowboys have consecutive 12 win seasons playoff appearances and the Eagles are the same thing. Only bottom dweller is maybe the Giants
Louis called Mahomes before anyone
The falcons need one. I don’t think Desmond is the answer at all, he turns the ball over too much and is bad at reading coverages.
Washington got the brightest future out of all them by far
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.
The Steelers don't have a top 5 pick so they don't factor in they were a playoff team there's no decision to mess up
They only got in because another team got them in.
@ThomasjeffersonIII they still were a playoff team and they still won 10 games in a division with 3 playoff teams they did their part
