00:00Let's take a look at the MVP and some potential, George, as to who can win.

00:04Pretty obvious at this point, it's going to be either Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen.

00:08I've said on this show several times, I believe this is going to be a tie.

00:12I think they'll somehow, this is going to end up being voted for a tie,

00:15although you can make a case for Saquon Barkley.

00:17Burrow had a great year, so did Jared Goff.

00:19They're not going to win.

00:20It's going to go one, two, Allen, Lamar, Lamar, Allen, Barkley, three,

00:24and then I don't think it matters at that point.

00:26I'm hoping for a tie.

00:27That's how close this is.

00:28You know, I kind of hope for a tie, too.

00:31I think you're right.

00:31I think they both had great seasons here.

00:33It'd be great for a tie.

00:34I think if Barkley would have set the record, if he would have played week,

00:36was it week 18?

00:38I think he might be the guy here.

00:39I think that's what you need to do as far as a running back or wide receiver.

00:42You need to set a record here.

00:43I agree that I'd like to see a tie.

00:45That being said, it should be Lamar Jackson.

00:47His numbers are better than Allen's.

00:48I'm sorry they just are.

00:49That being said, I think it'll be Allen, vote of fatigue.

00:52Yeah, it could be, and it's usually the way that it goes.

00:55Offensive player of the year, finalist.

00:57I don't know.

00:57How would this work?

00:58I mean, with the MVP and the offensive player of the year, I don't know.

01:03I guess one could win MVP and the other could win this, but I feel, oh, okay.

01:09So this is where Barkley wins this award.

01:13Yeah, usually the quarterback goes to the MVP and then another player wins.

01:16Another player in another position wins offensive player.

01:20It is weird.

01:20It's very strange.

01:22Jamar Chase has a really good argument for this.

01:25I think it's going to be Barkley as well.

01:26But Jamar Chase had a, wow, what a season here.

01:29But for a non-playoff team, I think that's the problem there.

01:32I don't think Burroughs got a shot at this, because once again, I think it could be one

01:35of the other two guys.

01:36I'll go Barkley for this award.

01:38All right.

01:38Offensive rookie of the year.

01:40This is as easy as it gets.

01:41Jaden Daniels is going to be the winner.

01:43Why don't you go two, three, four, five here, George.

01:47What do you got?

01:47Two, three, four, five.

01:48Daniels is going to finish one.

01:50I know some people felt it would be close, and maybe we're going to be living in the

01:54moment, remembering that they voted this before Washington beat Tampa Bay and Washington

01:58beat Detroit.

01:59I get it, but I still think Daniels is the easy winner here.

02:03Yeah, I agree.

02:03I don't see how it's not Daniels, right?

02:05Fantastic season there for your Washington Commanders.

02:08But there's been no one who's been a bigger Commanders fan than Craig.

02:11And he got it right.

02:12I was wrong on this team.

02:13Although he did win me money last week.

02:15I appreciate that.

02:16I'll go, I mean, I'm going to go Brock Bowers.

02:19He may not end up being number two, but he had a fantastic season for a bad Raiders team

02:23with Minshew.

02:24And, I mean, don't get me wrong.

02:26Neighbors, same thing.

02:27Brian Thomas.

02:28I mean, with Matt Jones.

02:30Couldn't do anything with Lawrence, but it was great with Matt Jones.

02:32And like I said, neighbors with Chicken Cutlets.

02:34And, you know, it was just terrible there.

02:37I'll go Bowers, neighbors, Thomas, as far as two, three, four.

02:42All right.

02:42So coach of the year, I feel like it's one of two names on this list here.

02:47It's either going to be Dan Campbell or Kevin O'Connell.

02:50I think it's going to be one of those two.

02:52Sean Payton had a nice year for Denver.

02:55But when you go back and look at it, 10 wins, I don't know.

02:58Dan Quinn had a really nice year.

03:01But again, I don't think he wins.

03:03I think if you looked at it, it's usually a surprise award.

03:07It's sometimes not the best team award.

03:09It's a surprise award.

03:10So if I was going to create a surprise here, it would be that Detroit was as good as they are.

03:15Or Minnesota, which was the absolute biggest surprise of the season.

03:18That kind of tells me O'Connell's going to be the coach of the year.

03:21How about you, torch?

03:23I read it the same way.

03:24It's usually a team that we didn't expect.

03:25We knew the Lions were going to be great.

03:27They were.

03:28They should have won the Super Bowl last year, if not for a couple of drop passes.

03:31All right.

03:31They should have been there.

03:32So I don't think it's going to be Campbell, even though he might deserve it.

03:35I mean, didn't Sam Darnold playing so poorly the last couple of games sort of tell you how

03:38good a job O'Connell did?

03:40All right.

03:40They get as much out of him as you could.

03:42But Dan Quinn, I mean, once again, no one saw Washington being a playoff team.

03:46No one saw that outside of Craig Misch.

03:48So I think Quinn's got a shot here.

03:51I said outside of Craig.

03:55I'm going to go O'Connell here, though.

03:56I think he's got more pub right now with Dan Quinn.

03:58But Dan Quinn deserves a lot of consideration.

04:01Yeah, I agree.

04:02I agree.

04:03All right.

04:03Assistant coach of the year.

04:04This is tougher.

04:06Joe Brady, Vic Fangio, Flores, Glenn, Ben Johnson.

04:11Oof.

04:11Tough one here.

04:13Would I go back to Minnesota here and pick Flores?

04:16I mean, I guess the feel good is always Ben Johnson.

04:18It's like the easiest go to.

04:20Did he win the year before?

04:21I don't know.

04:22Did that already happen once?

04:25Actually, I don't remember.

04:26So I can't tell you.

04:27Any of these guys sort of deserve it.

04:28Fangio turned around the Eagles team.

04:29It's like collapsed last year.

04:30So maybe it's him here.

04:32I'm going to go Ben Johnson as well.

04:34All right.

04:34And then the comeback player of the year, Burrow, Sam Darnold, Dobbins, Christian Gonzalez.

04:39He's not winning it.

04:40DeMar Hamlin.

04:41Didn't DeMar Hamlin already win comeback player of the year at one point?

04:44I don't know.

04:44I think he lost and he's back again.

04:48He lost.

04:49Allie Lewis is beyond me.

04:50He lost to Joe Flacco, who came back from being old and sucked.

04:53So Darnold is the winner here.

04:54That's who Joe Flacco came back from.
