Let's start with our MVP winner in 2024.
00:06
Donnie for you.
00:07
Who's the guy?
00:08
I'm going to go CJ Stroudness at a 12 to 1 price.
00:11
Now, you might say, look, when you try to level out and say, what do you need to be
00:15
an MVP candidate here?
00:16
You actually have to have a breakout season before you're actually the MVP and hear me
00:20
out on this.
00:21
So many times you see like a great offensive tackle, a great defensive lineman.
00:24
You got to be at an all pro level, Ben, before what?
00:27
You get voted to the all pro team.
00:29
Same thing in the NBA.
00:30
Remember, Joel Embiid had a couple of MVP seasons, not able to break through, finally
00:33
broke through when you knew you were ready for him.
00:35
And I feel like we might be ready for CJ Stroud, even though he's young and it's a second year.
00:39
He was in that MVP race in December last year, going toe to toe with the likes of Patrick
00:44
Holmes and also Lamar Jackson.
00:46
And if I look at the way he's performed in the preseason, they're a better football team
00:50
now.
00:51
They're not going to surprise us by saying like, oh, I wonder if he can do that on the
00:54
next weekend.
00:55
I think they can win that division.
00:57
I think they will win that, which would mean they're going to be probably a top two, three
01:00
seed at least in the AFC.
01:03
And heaven forbid we talk about MVP candidates.
01:05
You don't get voted on the MVP through the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
01:09
This is a regular season award.
01:11
What happens if we find ourselves?
01:12
Is it so far fetched that the Houston Texas have a 12 win season and can vie for that
01:17
top overall seed?
01:19
We're ready for CJ Stroud to be great.
01:21
We're expecting him to be great.
01:23
This is a better football team.
01:25
That young wide receiving core another year better.
01:27
Stephon digs with the chip on his shoulder coming over from the Buffalo Bills.
01:31
I like everything I've seen out of the Houston Texans in the offseason from a free agent
01:36
perspective and a preparation level that I do believe.
01:39
I'm not just buying the hype and say, oh, let me just throw a dart out here when it's
01:42
easy to take.
01:43
You know, Patrick Holmes, I told you the Kansas City Chiefs win it isn't hand in hand.
01:46
I wanted a better price on a guy that says, you know what, there might be a chance that
01:50
the Texans could get a top two seed and why not take a twelve to one price on a great
01:54
young quarterback that showed us as a rookie, he's ready to be at an MVP level then.
