00:00
And I've gotten some flack about this, I suppose, but like to me, Lamar Jackson is not even
00:08
the MVP of his own team.
00:10
To me, that is Derrick Henry.
00:11
It's been Derrick Henry all season long.
00:14
And I think that only, even if you disagree with that, I think it only further supports
00:18
Josh Allen's case because he doesn't have a Derrick Henry.
00:22
He doesn't have anything close to a Derrick Henry on that team.
00:25
I mean, he's largely done this by himself.
00:28
And also, some of the wins are more impressive.
00:30
Obviously, the only team to hand the Chiefs a loss.
00:33
I just think they've played a tougher, more daunting schedule and have, you know, obviously
00:39
run away with a bad division, but have contended until now for the overall, the one seed, the
00:46
top overall seed in the AFC.
00:49
The Ravens, they're a good team.
00:51
Don't get me wrong.
00:52
And if they go on a nice deep playoff run, even win a Super Bowl, I'm not going to
00:55
sit here and be shocked by that.
00:57
But Lamar is not doing it by himself.
00:59
He is not the MVP of the league.
01:01
Not this year.
01:02
He's been there before.
01:03
Not this year.
01:04
Well, you make a great point.
01:07
He's not the MVP of his own team, as far as I'm concerned.
01:10
A 30-year-old running back that is going to finish, what, with 200 yards short of 2,000,
01:18
which has never been done with anybody even close to 30 years old at the running back
01:23
spot.
01:24
I mean, the year that Derrick Henry and Saquon are having, only Saquon is younger, is unbelievable.
01:30
Without Derrick Henry, this Ravens team and Lamar Jackson are not having the confidence
01:36
that they are.
01:37
So that's a good point.
01:38
But also this narrative switches every time we see one of the two guys play.
01:44
Every time we see Lamar play, oh my God, he's the MVP.
01:47
Now we're going to see Josh Allen play this week against the Jets.
01:50
We're going to be like, oh my God, just give him the MVP.
01:53
It just switches every time these two guys play.
01:56
So let's just all settle down.
01:58
They've been wanting to give Josh Allen this award for the last couple of years.
02:04
They have a reason to give it to him this year.
02:06
I'm pretty sure Josh Allen is walking away with the MVP, no matter what happens in the playoffs.
