00:00Would you rather Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts, and why?

00:07Well, first of all, what's so interesting here is any of the drafts you're in, you know,

00:12most people are in the single quarterback leagues.

00:14I would expressly encourage you to try Superflex this year if you've never done it,

00:19or to at least get a Superflex league in your portfolio, as Matt likes to call it.

00:24But when you have the single quarterback leagues, what's so nice is

00:28somebody's going to shoot that flare gun off at some point.

00:31Could be second round, could be third round, could even be fourth,

00:33if everyone's really disciplined, where the quarterbacks start to go.

00:36And typically it's Josh Allen, the first one going,

00:39even though the first guy on my board is actually Patrick Mahomes.

00:42Why is it Patrick Mahomes?

00:44Because I'm old enough to remember two years ago where he had 5,000 yards passing,

00:47and the year before that he was 4,800 yards passing, and that was also without Tyree Kill.

00:52So it's not like he needs Tyree Kill in order to get that sort of number.

00:55Patrick Mahomes is legendary.

00:57Now, Jalen Hurts isn't a bad pick.

00:59He's going to get you points with his legs, but the problem with Hurts

01:01and the problem with Allen is I'm just not sure that you're going to see

01:05the total of rushing touchdowns, which was a record, by the way.

01:08Both of them set 15 most rushing touchdowns for a quarterback ever, okay?

01:14Both of those guys did it in the same year.

01:16I don't know if you can count on that.

01:18Typically they're much closer to that 9 or 10 range,

01:20and I do have my concerns that maybe with Saquon Barkley there

01:23that things change a little bit at the goal line,

01:25but I don't see as much as the brotherly shove.

01:27Maybe we're trying to protect Jalen Hurts a little bit more,

01:29and don't forget Jason Kelsey's gone.

01:31He was the integral part of that brotherly shove.

01:33He was the one that made it work.

01:35He is not there anymore.

01:37I know they're still going to do it better than everybody else.

01:39I just don't know if they're going to do it as much as they used to.

01:41That's the only question.

01:42So for me, it's Patrick Mahomes.

01:44But the real answer here is once that flare gun goes up,

01:47you have to look at the rest of the board and say, okay,

01:49do I want to go quarterback now or do I want to wait for a Jordan Love

01:52or a Jaden Daniels or somebody like that later?

01:54And I typically like to do that this year.

01:56I think it's a better bang for your buck.

01:58But if I am going to go early QB,

02:00Mahomes will be one of the two I would select here.
