Nightcap Hour 2: Jeffery Simmons on Jalen Hurts + Cam Skattebo on FACING Aaron Donald + Browns EYEING Arch Manning + Bo Nix On PANIC BUTTON + Ole Miss BANS LSU Gear + ESPN RANKS NBA’s Futures Next 3 YEARS + Lonzo Ball CALLS Himself a “What If”

Shannon Sharpe (0:00)

Another interesting exchange between Cam Ward and a Titans reporter. Let's take a listen to this, fellas.

SPEAKER_2 (0:08)

I think I'm a very good quarterback. I think I do a lot of things different that a lot of quarterbacks can't do.

And it's also stuff that I have to get better at as some things that I lack. That's a process that you take on each and every day. I have great coaches around me to continue to push me to that level that I want to play at. And when the tide turns, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a different story. Doesn't a very good NFL quarterback have better results than you're having? Say that again? Doesn't a very good NFL quarterback have better results than you have? I think it comes with the game. It comes with the defensive plan. It comes with what the DC's philosophy is.

And every game is not gonna be a shootout. Every game is gonna be a, it could be a bad passer rate. It could be a bad completion ratio. But it's all about the win and loss. And we haven't done that. And that's something that we only focus on is win and losing.

Shannon Sharpe (1:00)

Fair question? Unfair, Ocho, Joe? I think it's a fair question.

Chad Johnson (1:05)

It's a fair question. And I think he answered it correctly. He answered the best way he could, Unc. I would think the way he answered this one, you'd be a little bit more pleased with his answer this time, I'm assuming.

Shannon Sharpe (1:16)

Hey, hey, and now that the reporters know how to get under your skin a little bit, Unc and Ocho, that's all he gonna get now. He gonna get these type of questions, you know what I mean? And this is how it's gonna be, because they want that sound bite, they want you to say something that's kind of wild, outlandish, you know what I mean? And he a young guy, man, he still learning, bro. He still learning.

Chad Johnson (1:41)

He played it well.

Shannon Sharpe (1:43)

He did, he did. I mean, I don't really know how else he can say it. And the guy said, would the better quarterback have better results? Yeah, you would think so, but sometimes, sometimes bad quarterback get good results and sometimes good quarterback get bad results.

Chad Johnson (1:58)

Hey, I'm with you.

Shannon Sharpe (1:59)

You're right. Hey, I'm just saying. I'm still reporting. They got ways of asking questions, bro, that, you know, if they know you a little, you know, you'll get a little irritable up there. That's what they want. They want that, bro. I'm telling you.

And they're rattling around, oh boy, they remember, they revoke these credentials. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's the name.

Chad Johnson (2:20)

Yeah, Jerry Stemman, Jerry Stemman.

Shannon Sharpe (2:23)

They revoke these credentials.

Chad Johnson (2:24)

They're rattling around.

Shannon Sharpe (2:25)

Yeah.

What you think they were going to do? So now they all going to come in there and be asking some off the wall questions. Yeah.

Iso Joe Johnson (2:32)

Off the wall, off the wall questions.

Shannon Sharpe (2:35)

Yeah. For sure. It is. That's just the way it is. And he's going to have to look.

Like Ocho always say, the one thing that change that is to go win games.

Chad Johnson (2:47)

That's it. Like Damis Winston.

Iso Joe Johnson (2:51)

Eat a dubs.

Chad Johnson (2:53)

Eat some dubs. That's it.

Shannon Sharpe (2:55)

That's it. Ain't no way around it.

Chad Johnson (2:58)

No, that's the only thing that will get them off your back. Yeah. And it's only temporary.

Shannon Sharpe (3:03)

Oh yeah. They might be on your side for one game, but as soon as you lose another one and you don't play well.

Chad Johnson (3:09)

They're going to let you know. Back on your head.

Shannon Sharpe (3:12)

And it's a real fan base though.

Those are real fan bases. They're going to cheer when you give them something to cheer about. Hell, if you don't give them nothing to cheer about, they're going to let you know.

Chad Johnson (3:27)

Yeah.

Shannon Sharpe (3:27)

That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

Our job is to perform. We're in the entertainment business, but we're in the performance business first. Yeah.

Chad Johnson (3:39)

Hey, listen. Well, sometimes, most of the time, Joe, when you perform, sometimes your performance is a form of entertainment.

Shannon Sharpe (3:48)

Yes.

Chad Johnson (3:49)

Depending on who you are.

Shannon Sharpe (3:51)

Yes. You're not wrong, Ocho. You're right. Some people can perform while they're entertaining.
