## Resource

Lima presses Lance on why he refuses to just hand the starting job to the younger Shedeur Sanders, and Lance argues that judging Deshaun Watson based on his past struggles ignores that he's never taken a live snap in Todd Monken's new scheme, calling it confirmation bias in action. They debate whether draft status should earn a quarterback more leash, with Lance insisting Monken only cares about winning games in Jacksonville, not protecting a former first-round investment or appeasing a front office. Caller Chuck defends Shedeur's rough rookie stats by pointing to a shredded offensive line and a nonexistent receiving corps, and Lance agrees, saying he's not writing Shedeur off based on seven ugly games and expects him to take a real step forward this year. The two also praise Monken as an uncompromising, non-puppet coach who won't let front-office politics dictate who starts.
