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.
