00:00Yeah, they caught a lot of hype last year, a lot of lightning in a bottle, played very well last year.
00:03Nobody thought they would be making, at the beginning of the season, a run to an NFC championship game,
00:07which they did get beat by the Philadelphia Eagles, but it's a learning process.
00:10But also understand this for me.
00:12Some of the smartest creatures on the planet are defensive coordinators.
00:15They had all summer long and all season long to watch tape of Jaden Daniels,
00:19what he likes to do, what he doesn't like to do, and to try to formulate a game plan.
00:22Because the thought process of, like, same thing with C.J. Stroud,
00:25ah, unbelievable rookie year, he's going to take another step.
00:28What is that, 5,000 yards and 50 touchdown passes and, like, undefeated?
00:32Like, that's not probably going to happen.
00:34He's rightfully so to get all of this, let's just say, hype, but I don't think he's going to do that.
00:38No, well, here's why I laugh.
00:39Did that C.J. Stroud incredible and accurate analogy you bring up happen 20 years ago?
00:46No.
00:46So then how come nobody can remember that when discussing Jaden Daniels?
00:49But wait a second, but wait a second.
00:50Why?
00:50Well, just wait a second.
00:51Why?
00:52Because, wait a second.
00:53Jaden Daniels is a dual threat.
00:55He got him real.
00:55And he's at, well, C.J.
00:57C.J. threw for 23-3, right?
01:00A pure pocket passer and led his team to a playoff win over Cleveland.
01:04He didn't make the championship game.
01:06No, he's got two playoff wins, same as Jaden.
01:08Jaden took the game over, not just with his arm, but his legs.
01:13I mean, he dominated on the ground.
01:14And that's where I think when you look at MVP and you look at maybe trajectory, that's where
01:20you say he's an outside shot.
01:22Now, again.
01:24But he doesn't have an outside shot.
01:25His shot is not an outside shot.
01:27He has an inside shot.
01:28He is significantly closer to Lamar Jackson than he is Jalen Hurts in the MVP odds.
01:34Well, let's make the argument.
01:35Who's potentially on paper the second best team in the NFC East?
01:39Is it Washington?
01:40We're not saying it's Dallas.
01:42No.
01:42Okay.
01:43They are not even favorites in their own division.
01:49I don't.
01:49Can someone pull up the last time a quarterback won MVP and didn't finish first in their division?
01:56Pull it up.
01:57He's plus 850, Joe.
01:59You keep having this game where you're like, hold on, Kev.
02:03The kid, he's got an outside shot.
02:05They ain't booking him like he's got an outside shot.
02:07Well, the saying is, when you, okay, so they're booking him like he's one of the favorites.
02:11Okay.
02:11Yeah, they're booking him like he.
02:12If he throws for 3,500 yards, 25 touchdowns, and runs for another 900.
02:18So the exact season he had last year.
02:21Yeah.
02:21Yeah, but they, yeah, why not?
02:23So now he's here.
02:24But again, do you think it's going to be, I don't think it's going to be easy for him to duplicate that.
02:30I don't.
02:31But my point is, that was the season he.
02:33So what if he throws, what if he throws for 3,000 yards, 23 touchdowns, but he rushes for 1,000.
02:39That doesn't matter?
02:41No.
02:41Those are all great.
02:42Here's the thing.
02:44You.
02:44But CJ didn't have that.
02:45You are defending your guy despite agreeing with me.
02:49You're saying it'll be really hard for him to replicate 11 wins, 4,500 total yards, 30 total touchdowns.
03:00But despite that, he is booked this close to your former guy, Joe Burrow.
03:09No love for Burrow in this race anymore.
03:11No, I think Joe Burrow has a very good shot.
03:13Again, as long as he plays the 17-game season and they start fast, which is that they have to win week one against Cleveland.
03:20Because I think all wheels, as a five and a half point road.
03:23Oh, and three bangles again.
03:24They better.
03:25They better.
03:26No.
03:26But even though the defense is atrocious, we know Joe Burrow is going to average 300 passing yards per game
03:31and potentially throw for three to four touchdowns every time he steps on the football field.
