Tyson's gonna be a stud

[@theqbroom]

We agree. Thanks for watching!

[@ZanderW23]

Loved his maturity and confidence I think he’s got a bright future

[@theqbroom]

Agreed. Thanks for watching!

[@bearsfan1]

Love this kid. Has greatness destined for him. Chicago knows what they have in Bagent he's their guy, let's just let the storm settle a little bit and the sun will begin to shine. ❤

[@theqbroom]

We're even bigger fans of him now!

[@hollandrocksls]

I've been a bears fan for 40 years. Every time we have had good QB play. There is a starter with hope in the way. The hope that never works out. I'd love to see Tyson get his shot regardless if we draft a QB or not. May the best man win. Not just a Starter because of contract

[@Nightwing300]

I’ve been a packers fan for 34 years. We still own you

TYSON IS A CEO!!!

[@alanleonard8739]

As an arm wrestling fan Bagent was the only name I knew in the draft. Been watching football because of him.

[@chancenebeker4481]

if the bears or someone else gives tyson a real shot as a starter this kids going to be a great qb

[@theqbroom]

He's the real deal. Thanks for the support!

[@eduardoisaacrodriguezm5788]

I’m a bears fan since I was 9 I’m 47 now I’m a defense guy but the only QB jersey I have is Tyson Bagent since I hear he’s journey great Kid , 🐻 down

[@current3548]

such good idea for a guest. awesome interview

[@theqbroom]

Appreciate that. Tyson was an awesome guest!

[@timhays332]

Loved it! Great conversation. Yeah, i know that part of WVa and it's not the southern cliche. Nice area. Tyson - he's a thinker and survivor. Glad he's in our city. Coming year is going to be special

[@bushhog7997]

He should have a head start on whoever we draft (Caleb Williams), Tyson should already have a playbook and has starting experience, and a whole off season to get better.

[@barryturner2902]

#17 BAGENT, CHI. BEAR for LIFE!!

[@leethecomedian]

Awesome story man, its been fun to watch You're living the dream man,keep it up.🤘

[@theqbroom]

He's got an incredible story. Thanks for watching!

[@jrjordan7681]

Tyson is a great fit with the Bears as a young backup 🐻⬇️

[@theqbroom]

Great to get to know him. Awesome dude!

[@LukeJones29]

Lets go Tyson!!! Arm genetics in that family are strong!!!

[@theqbroom]

You got that right!

[@ecobean3440]

This kid is special. TB17 🐻⬇

[@charlespresley8238]

I’m a bagent fan I hope he is working on his arm strength 🙏🏻🔥

[@michaelwatterson7339]

I can't get enough of your show! You guys give us perceptive and interviews you don't get from any other programs. Kyle and JP thanks again for the great show!

[@theqbroom]

Means a lot. Thanks for the support!

[@midwestdolo818]

OJ Simpson said the man was gonna be a baller and he didnt disappoint the few games he played this season!

[@duannegarrett5800]

My old man told me once..... No matter how hard you work , theres always somebody out there working just a little harder.....If your a true c 4:37 ompetitor its a real motivator

[@WaineYam]

less then 1 month until the 2024 draft and Bears only have 2 QBS. Bagent seems to be a worthy QB2 (after Caleb Williams) going into OTA's Good times

[@NTONYO]

this is an amazing podcast I’m happy algorithm showed me this

[@theqbroom]

Happy we found ya. Thanks for watching!

[@SueMelton]

Go TB. Bears better not mess this up. Start him.

[@huhver]

Just found the show. So much good content to catch-up on

[@theqbroom]

We appreciate it! We're proud of the catalogue to this point and still trying to get better every week 📈

[@jessejames2849]

What’s crazy is Tyson’s decision making was way better than Justin’s decision making first start.

[@SlackBow]

Great interview! Great story.

[@theqbroom]

Thanks for watching!

[@kenwalters5165]

Tyson awesome young man! Not sure if you ever have seen his CrossFit resume but you should check out his CrossFit workouts/competitions on HillerFit KZbin channel. The best is his barbell that is a car axle with rims & tires for the weights and scaling rock walls. He’s also a pretty regular guest on the SEVAN podcast and great content there as well. SEVAN filmed and traveled the world with his dad filming his arm wrestling career.

[@Jeremy-cg9re]

I'm a life long 🐻’s fan (it's been a rough last 35 or so years lol) & I love this kid!! I've been extremely hopeful that JF will get it together & become an all around great QB & I'm not putting it solely on him but it has not gone well to this point! I'll be very upset with my team if they deal Bagent bc I honestly believe he gives us the best chance to win games! I'm no QB expert analyst but this kid has passed the eye test with flying colors & I believe will be a star in this league!! I just hope it's as a 🐻!!! # team BAGENT

[@theqbroom]

Awesome young man. Thanks for watching!

[@Jeremy-cg9re]

@@theqbroom I'm 47 😂! Been a fan since I can remember & some of my 1st memories of Bears football was the 85 season & Superbowl. We didn't even have a television at the time so I used to listen to the games on the radio (damn I'm old 😂)!

[@user-cl9gl7zg7k]

God I love him 😍

[@tylerwozniak8425]

Aight first of all. Thank you for this content and getting my favorite NFL player on the show. Hopefully he gets to start again this season, he has earned that right, the other qb on the team has been given the right. I digress. Life long Bears fan here. Anyway, Jordan needs to learn to talk less when teeing up people to discuss his talking points. There is a few times when Palmer is talking and it looks like Kyle or Tyson are ready to extend the conversation but he keeps talking for another minute or two and the Socratic discussion sorta gets fizzled out and we don’t get to hear others perspectives on the same subjects as much. A good example in this video is around when they start talking about the “Dak Dance” and then beyond to the end of the video.

[@tylerwozniak8425]

I say this respectfully!!! I love this content and very much respect, enjoy, and appreciate Palmers perspective and participation on this episode! He just sorta dominates the discussion a lot towards the end of the video when it would be nice to hear more of Kyle and Tyson’s thoughts.

[@douglaslewis866]

No Doubt...Given all the support they say Fields needs to be successful, if Bagent had same, he would do very well. Hopefully it will open competition for next years Bear QB job. One more year of maturity and adjusting to the speed of the game, he should be just fine.....Move the Chains....first downs, control the clock take care of the ball, throw it away when in trouble.... see you next year.

[@demmefrazier6629]

I would rather see competition between Fileds and Bagent before a Caleb Williams draft pick, let’s get Marvin Harrison Jr. with the first pick.

[@jean-paulscott4243]

What a dude!

[@theqbroom]

Agreed!

[@douglaslewis866]

This i a pretty good show....like to see Fields explain. Clapping for this show

[@theqbroom]

Appreciate you watching!

[@proudsellout484]

Do you guys think that Tyson can hit the deep ball? Most people are talking about his arm strength. I think his arm is good enough.

[@sainttodd11]

Joe Montana didn't have elite throwing power. Lots of successful QBs average arm strength. I think he's going to be fine. I'm kinda expecting him to be QB1 at the beginning of next season.

[@proudsellout484]

@@sainttodd11 I am wondering about that. It seems like the Bears media is trying to force Justin Fields as the QB

[@sainttodd11]

@@proudsellout484 The Score, in particular is trying to create a narrative. It's funny how little sports media people actually know about sports.

[@proudsellout484]

@@sainttodd11 I am really wondering how the Bears coaches and insiders feel about Tyson? Do they think he can become something more? Or will they not even try to find out and play the politcal game of just keeping Justin or picking someone new.

[@sainttodd11]

@@proudsellout484 I think every rookie QB is a prospect. The fact that they cut PJ Tucker and made Tyson #2 tells you they see potential.

Jordan 👋 we do have a recent episode with Carson you should check out!

[@KaneGregory]

I can’t wait till whoever rolls there ankle and Tyson takes the job and never gives it back Tom Brady style!👍🏼🧸⬇️

[@shanewilliams4532]

Really annoying how they keep trying to belittle DII, when he's living proof that DII guys are legit.

[@theqbroom]

Not trying to belittle. Trying to highlight how impressive his story is going from DII to the NFL.

[@Portuducks]

Tyson is truly an exception. John Matocha, the Colorado Mines QB who's recently broken Bagent's TD records, has virtually no shot of making it into the NFL as evidenced by the lack of a Senior Bowl invitation. Bagent would've been a D1 FBS QB had his region of WV had more scouting exposure.

[@bkcarter9580]

Geez he is just a kid.

[@JLamont45]

If he thinks he’s being robbed he can go play in Canada.. I’m done with this “Headline”

[@theqbroom]

It was a joke he made about his signing bonus.

[@salimoneus]

clearly you didn't even watch it, and yes it was a bit of clickbait in the title, at least it was quoted accurately albiet a joke

[@JAMESBONG100]

Tyson Bagent is the smartest QB on the Bears roster. His Genetics automatically dictate a higher IQ than Caleb Williams
