All right, so I feel like they are kind of in lockstep.
00:05
I feel like if he has a good year and if the numbers are good,
00:09
hard to do that and not win a lot of games.
00:11
But whatever, for the sake of this argument, let's just say,
00:14
I mean, we were looking at the over-unders as a place to start.
00:17
It was like 19.5 touchdowns, 3,250 yards passing.
00:21
I feel like –
00:22
In a vacuum, those are low to me.
00:23
I feel like he's going to be over both.
00:25
If they win 10 games, I won't care.
00:26
Yeah, yeah.
00:27
But if you're telling me those are the numbers
00:29
and that's what you're reading from DraftKings, those to me are low.
00:32
I would say, yeah, command of the offense definitely has to be there.
00:36
I think 2-1 touchdown to pick is realistic.
00:40
You'd like it even better in modern NFL.
00:43
But if he's 20 touchdowns, 10 picks, he can't do that.
00:47
22 touchdowns, 11 picks, somewhere in there.
00:49
I think that would be pretty good.
00:51
And then also with him just playing all 17 games,
00:55
that's a good place to start.
00:56
After he gets banged up in a couple games last year.
00:58
That's a major one.
00:59
And it correlates to what I was just going to ask.
01:00
Do you want him to run?
01:01
Yes.
01:02
Oh, yeah, definitely.
01:03
I think it's one of the things that he does well.
01:05
I think a lot of quarterbacks around the league do run.
01:10
I mean, the two – you could argue Mahomes is the best.
01:12
Put Mahomes to the side.
01:13
But the two best seasons last year were Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.
01:18
Those guys run.
01:19
They're smart about how they run.
01:20
They both run.
01:21
They have designed runs, but they'll also take off and scramble,
01:23
which is really what Mahomes does.
01:25
Right, and they both – those two guys could run more.
01:27
Yeah.
01:27
But I think they also are great passers,
01:29
and they know that they've got to try to – you know,
01:31
they're looking at longevity, too.
01:33
But there's a lot of quarterbacks around the league that can use their legs.
01:38
Patriots, certainly with, you know,
01:39
Mack Jones and Jacoby Brissett didn't have those guys.
01:42
So now you do.
01:42
That is one of the things that's going to make him –
01:45
if he ends up being a top-10 quarterback,
01:47
which is what we're all hoping for,
01:49
I think you're going to look back at the end of the year and be like,
01:51
oh, he had 600 yards rushing and five rushing touchdowns or whatever.
01:55
Like, yeah, I think that's going to have to be a part of it.
01:56
Yeah, I want to see design runs.
01:58
And, you know,
01:59
Josh McDaniels didn't do a lot of that with Mack Jones when he was here.
02:02
Don't blame him.
02:03
Don't blame him.
02:04
With Cam, they did a ton of it.
02:05
Oh, yeah, they did.
02:05
I mean, maybe too much.
02:06
And, you know, I thought Josh Allen coming out,
02:08
his comp was Cam.
02:10
And now Drake May is being comped to Josh Allen.
02:13
And I'm talking, like, MVP, not Patriots Cam Newton,
02:15
but MVP-level Carolina Panthers Cam Newton.
02:18
I thought that was a good comp for Josh Allen when he came out.
02:21
I don't think it's a terrible comp for Drake May as a runner,
02:24
as a big physical runner.
02:26
I want to see design runs.
02:27
I hope they do it,
02:28
but that does potentially put him in harm's way.
