Chiefs, Ravens in Super Bowl bubble, Will Jim Harbaugh lead the Chargers to success? | THE HERD

I always do Super Bowl bubbles about once a month once every five weeks I'll do you a Super Bowl bubble here's my Super Bowl bubble to start the season for the radio audience I think there's to be honest seven eight teams should be favorites in the NFC Detroit Green Bay San Francisco I'm high on the Rams in the AFC the Texans the bills yeah Josh Allen momes Kansas City and the Ravens I think four teams are just on the outside I've got a question I need to see resolved Philadelphia love the roster love the quarterback love almost everything ownership GM I'm a little worried about the coach and the quarterback relationship and the coach overall Cincinnati Joe Burrow's health I wish I had the Jets defense and Miami's offense as one team but they're so good at one thing Jets defense Miami offense I'll keep them on the periphery but there's hope here so there you go 8 in the bubble and four on the outside now this may change we always have a surprise team but that feels right I really think the Texans have a legitimate chance to get to a conference Championship they have turned that franchise around with the right coach the right GM and the right quarterback uh all these teams all these teams have one thing in common they have a good quarterback I know I know Brock pie but he has1 passer rating he's a good quarterback I don't think he's a star but he's a good quarterback but they don't don't all have an established proven coach we don't know what Robert Soler really is but tonight what you're seeing frankly is what the model of the league is Chiefs Ravens the two winningest teams in this sport since the Patrick momes era started ownership front office coach quarterback roster drafting development this is how you do it and yet Baltimore one of the two model franchises in the league always leaves us unsatisfied proving how difficult it is to win in this sport mostly because of two people in the last decade two people have had a strangle hold on this league one is retired Tom Brady one is moving into his prime been there probably a couple of years Patrick Mahomes five of the last six trophies have been hoisted by Brady or momes and eight of the last 10 Super Bowl Brady or momes have appeared in it so you and I for the next 6 months can talk about Speedy wide receivers and tough tight ends and clever running backs and smart coordinators and Brilliant young offensive coaches Brady and momes and even the quarterbacks capable capable of beating momes in a January game Joe burrow can't stay healthy Lamar Jackson kind of freezes in the headlights Josh Allen one too many mistakes it illustrates once again just how damn hard it is to win and it's why I support Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson it's really hard to beat Legends go ask Payton Manning and big Ben with Brady and Go Ask Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and Joe burrow it's just incredibly hard Kansas City's got everything right owner front office president GM quarterback weapon pass rusher draft develop they got everything right and Baltimore's got almost everything right and that's this sport inches not feet and Tom Brady earlier this week on this show talked about the challenges tonight for Baltimore and uh the opening game of the season when you lose in the playoffs you want to think about our how are we going to get over the hump next year what do we need to do where are deficiencies where can we get a little better how can we improve our team a little bit so when we get in these big games we're more prepared than the other team we got more margin of there and look to win a Super Bowl is absolutely incredibly difficult there's only one team that does it Baltimore wants what the Chiefs got and that's why you lead the season off the way they have it Ravens Chiefs for the record Brady's best offense never won a Super Bowl he had at a 10-year Gap the best player that's ever played the most dominant productive player Tom Brady when a decade no Super Bowls and those were his best offenses Randy Moss teams blew people out that's how hard it is that's the challenge for Baltimore but Barkley was great and couldn't beat MJ Phil was great couldn't get past tiger enough it's just really hard to beat Legends um speaking of Legends right now the most consistent Culture Creator in American football college or Pro is Jim Harbaugh it's not Saban he's retired it's not Parcels he's gone bich nope Urban Meyer in college doing TV it's Jim Harbaugh preh Harbaugh do you remember how bad Stanford was 1 and 11 or they were good at the academic thing they were horrible at football his first year at Stanford they flew down to Los Angeles as a 40o underdog and beat the Trojans who were number two in the country in Los Angeles the San Francisco 49ers pre Harbaugh had not made the playoffs in eight years the roster was a mess they had no culture year one with Harbaugh 13-3 NFC Championship with a quarterback that was viewed as a bust Alex Smith Michigan was a tire fire prear ball five- seven one first round pick a left Tacker tackle Taylor uh lean one first rounder in four years pre Hardball first year 10 and three and know by the way this last year what do they have 13 14 guys drafted Stanford was a disaster Niners were a disaster Michigan was a disaster and now here comes Houdini preh Harbaugh the Chargers last year had a virtual Mutiny with their players 5 and 12 worst locker room in the league worst big play defense in the league with a defensive coordinator and Jim walks into the building by the way a brand new building in Elsa gundo California it's gorgeous and here's the guy that does this better than anybody currently coaching football he is the greatest repetitive Culture Creator but this time it's not a total rebuild khil Mack BOS off the edge his first draft pick Joe Al best tackle in the draft to go along with ran Slater Edge rushers tackles above average oh Justin Herbert nothing against Alex Smith or his first quarterback at Michigan but Justin Herbert's really good Jim Harbaugh this week who was a quarter back in the NFL I think he's got a little twinkle he's been very optimistic he's almost been funny this entire off season why because this isn't the Stanford rebuild this isn't the Niner rebuild this isn't the Michigan rebuild he's got Justin Herbert he's always reminded me Jim Harbaugh a little of the late Steve Jobs jobs wasn't the best engineer right there were smarter people in the building but he understood unlike Microsoft at the time the Artistry of it he was selling image imagery and he knew what he wasn't Harbaugh's not the best scheme guy in the NFL could be Kyle Shanahan not the best scheme guy but the ability to change cultures college and pro is a real thing and nobody in the world is better at it and I got into this discussion a couple of months ago and somebody said God Harbaugh's really lightened up he's like funny and likable and I'm like cuz Jim sees what he's never seen before which is a top five quarterback in a rebuild he usually had to go trade for one find one recruit one now he's got one and that's why he's so happy happier than ever as he embarks on weekend one against the Raiders hi everybody it's me Uncle Colin subscribe here to get the latest from the herd including exclusive behind the scenes videos and more wherever you may be
