It's our gambling show, guys. I'm 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.000 gona be honest with you. The picks have been, as 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.000 Demonse would call him, mid this year, we're three and 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.880 two or two and three every week, which means we 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.080 don't have such a hole we can't pull ourselves out of. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.200 But we're not making anybody money. What are the teasers 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.560 Demonse one and three not great. Yeah, I mean so 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:26.000 the and so Demanse's not doing great. I'm not doing 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:31.160 great unlike last week. However, I love the board. This 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.800 week there were four. To me, I only really even 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.480 had trouble on one of the games. There were four games. 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.280 I loved. It feels like a five and oh, now 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.560 you might say, Nick, they always you always say it 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.600 feels like five, and oh no, I don't because it 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.200 doesn't always feel like five. And oh last week I 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.000 did it and I was like, I'm hoping for three 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.640 and two. Last week there were so many one and 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.480 a half and two and a halfs. It was brutal 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.400 and I got you know, in some ways I got 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.600 unlucky last week in not getting three and two because 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.919 mahomes slide at the one is what cost me that game. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.080 But I mean smart play, but that's what costs me. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.639 But so we'll get into the gambling show or the 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.880 picks in about twenty minutes, but first we must get 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.919 to what missed the cut. On today's show, James Harden 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.680 reporting to the Sixers camp a day late. The Lakers 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.519 can't stop talking about the Nuggets and Kelsey in the 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.680 NFL overdoing it with swift. Hold on it real quick. 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.400 It is not the Lakers that can't stop talking about 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:37.040 the Nuggets. The Nuggets started all of this, and now 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.720 Michael Malone is trying to distance himself from it. You 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.320 can't have the play by play guy call Mike Malone 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.440 the Lakers, daddy, have Michael Malone mott Lebron James and 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.280 say I'm considering retiring too, and then all of a 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.680 sudden be like, why won't they stop talking about us? 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.040 That's not how this works. And I don't put it 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.640 on jokic't put it on Jamal Murray. But Michael Malone 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.480 made this bed and now he's like, oh no, we're 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.520 focused on right now. It's a bunch of nonsense if 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.200 you ask me. But I am still in football mode. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.440 So let's get to the NFL. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.480 Go ahead, Demonsey, All right, San Francisco and Dallas face 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.640 off in the game of the year and a potential 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.240 NFC championship preview this Sunday. We know you aren't going 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.400 to give party his credit, but let's talk about a 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.680 guy by the name of Christian McCaffrey. He's gotta be 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.000 playing the best at his position than anybody else? 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.119 Right now? What do you do? What are your thoughts 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.160 on Christian McCaffrey. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.480 I think he's been exceptional and I listen, Christian McCaffrey's 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.520 playing like the best running back in the league. I 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.240 know we're gonna get into some potential MVP talk for him, 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.240 but I want to talk about what you said at 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.520 the front end, which is that I won't give Brock 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.480 Purty any credit. I let me ask you this, demonse, 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.640 Let's put this conversation on its head for a moment. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:04.600 Do you think right now, Pooka Nikua is one of 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.120 the two or three best receivers in football that right now, 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:13.400 Pooka Nikua, take Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Devonte Adams, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:18.040 Ceedee Lamb, Is, Stefan Diggs, all these guys. Is Pooka 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.000 Nikouah better than all or at least the vast majority 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:22.360 of them? 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:22.880 Yes? 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.239 Or no? No, But we need more time to figure 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:26.560 that out. 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.880 Okay, the answers no, Everyone would say the answers no. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:35.040 But why look at his numbers? Are you holding against 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.839 him that he was a fifth round pick? What? He 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.240 has more catches than everyone, He has more yards than everyone, 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:47.839 but justin Jefferson, Oh, your contextualizing how he is getting 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:53.800 those yards and catches and saying, despite the numbers, I 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.120 don't think he's as good as the number of suggests. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.840 What more do you want him to do? Every game 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.920 he's playing the league. He's an excellent he's not making mistakes. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:06.640 We do this all the time. And when I say 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.599 take brock Purdy off the Niners, put him somewhere else, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:16.360 flip flop Trevor Lawrence and Brock Purty and what teams better? 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.719 What teams? Y wou said, Well, that's not fair. Why 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.440 is it not fair? Demonse? Let me ask you a question. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:28.200 Who do you think is better? Jamal Murray or Damian Lillard? 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:31.080 Who do you think is better? 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:33.680 I don't know. 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.479 You can't put me on the spot there. That's that's 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.080 not an easy question in my opinion. 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.520 Okay, I'm not saying it. Okay right now, but tell 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.360 me who do you think is better? Jamal Murray or 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.520 Damian Lillard. I'm not saying either's bad. Obviously they're both excellent. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:54.120 Who do you think is better? If Jamal Murray were available? 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.400 Go ahead, I'd say, dame, Okay, you'd say Dame. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.760 Everyone would say Dame so, but hold on a second. 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.760 Jamal Murray's been to multiple conference finals. Since Dame Lillard's 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.920 won a playoff series, Jamal Murray has won a championship. 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:16.080 How can you say Jamal Murray's better? Well, because we 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:21.040 believe if you put Dame on those Nuggets and Jamal 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:25.560 on those Blazers, the Nuggets don't miss a beat and 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:30.160 the Blazers are not any better. Why do we think so? 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.040 We do this all the time. Why do we think 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.560 Dame and Giannis are gonna fit great together? Because we 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:41.200 are projecting what a guy would look like in a 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.320 different situation we've never seen him in. We do this 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:52.880 across sports all the time. We add context and our 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.080 eye test to then apply it to what we're seeing 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:03.000 from the athletes. And so people are so frustrated with 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.720 me about not giving brock Purty credit, And what I 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:13.040 am saying is I am frustrated that the vast majority 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.720 of the rest of the sports world is taking away 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:22.960 the credit earned by Christian McCaffrey, Deebo, Samuel Brandon, Ayuk, 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:31.200 Trent Williams, Kyle Shanahan, Nick Bosa, Hafanga, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:37.360 Javon Hargrave, Chavarius Ward, all these guys and just giving 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.280 it to the quarterback. And what is extra maddening about 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:48.520 it is I had this exact same argument four years 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.360 about Jimmy Garoppolo, and folks were like, Nick, Nope, you 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.120 gotta give Jimmy his credit. You got to give Jimmy 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:58.600 his credit. And then Jimmy went out and now we 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:04.000 are seeing Jimmy and he stinks, just stinks outside of 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:09.640 San Francisco, and Jimmy got replaced with literally the last 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:13.160 player picked in the draft. The team is even better, 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.560 and people are like, well, that guy must be a star. No, 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:22.800 he must not be. It is we actually got the 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:28.200 real life experiment of what if you replace Jimmy Garoppolo 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:36.760 with a random college quarterback that was fringe NFL? What 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.560 would happen? We're seeing it, and the entirety of the 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:45.400 sports media's reaction has been, well, that guy's awesome. And 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:50.880 by the way, the added evidence of Jimmy Garoppolo now stinks. 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.760 Do we think he just all of a sudden got 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:59.720 bad or do we think it's the so I I 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:04.319 will give Purty credit in this regard. I think brock 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:09.480 Purty is better than Mac Jones. I think brock Purty 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.960 is better than Canny Pickett. I think brock Purty is 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.600 better than right now Bryce Young. I think he's better 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:22.880 right now obviously than Desmond Ritter. I think brock Purty 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:27.960 is better for the Niners than Daniel Jones would be 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:32.640 because he doesn't make the critical error. I think brock 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.719 Purty is better than Ryan Tannehill would be. But if 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:41.840 you are asking me, am I convinced that right now 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.840 the Niners wouldn't be better off with Kirk Cousins. No, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:50.240 I am not, and Kirk Cousins right now people are 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:55.920 down on am. I convinced that the Niners would be 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.680 Do I think brock Purty is better than Matt Stafford. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:05.800 Absolutely not, under no circumstances. Do I have any stats 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.560 to back that up? Nope. But I watch the games, 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.800 so I want to give Brock. I want to give 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.880 the Niners credit. I want to give the awesome players 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:22.040 on their team credit, and instead we are just laying 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.560 it at the feet of the quarterback when we did 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:30.200 the exact same thing with Jimmy Garoppolo. And some folks 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.079 refuse to learn their lesson on it. So it is. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.960 It is an incredibly frustrating thing now one of the 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.760 and we'll get to see it this weekend. I think 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.640 the Cowboys win this weekend. I love them plus three 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.720 and a half and I think they win assuming Micah 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.520 Parsons plays, and he's been limited in practice, but I 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:56.000 would imagine he's going to play. I think it is 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:02.160 totally fair if against this cowboy Boys defense in a 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.600 close game, if brock Perty goes out there and makes 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.760 some big time plays on Sunday night, that I come 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:14.240 back on Tuesday and say that's an added data point. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.720 Maybe I sold him short. But for a guy who 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:24.120 has played two minutes and fifty two seconds of his 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:28.520 NFL career while trailing in the fourth quarter, I am 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.120 allowed to say I want to see him in an 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.600 adverse situation before I just say he's one of the 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.959 greatest draft picks ever. Because right now, the the and 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.760 one last point on this, because demand say, what's the 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.640 what's the follow up question about? You? 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.040 Stole Christian McCaffrey Shine again. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.480 Christ McCaffrey has around the same odds as Trevor for MVP. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.800 Right now, do you see any value in that. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.800 Maybe go ahead a little added one, what about Shanahan 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.960 for plus one thousand for Coach of the year. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.040 Maybe they usually actually give Coach of the Year not 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.960 to the coach of a great team, but to the 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:15.280 coach of a team that like overachieved or surprised people. 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:22.480 And so the and right Demiko Ryans. That would be 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.199 if like the Texans were to somehow win a wildcard 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.600 spot get a wildcard spot, I think Demiico would definitely 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:32.040 win Coach of the Year. On the Christian McCaffrey MVP thing. 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.920 That to me, now, I think he has a chance. 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:44.040 But that is more insulting to brock Purty than anything 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.959 I say. The fact that brock Party leads the NFL 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:54.080 in passer rating has not thrown an interception, and the 0:13:54.240 --> 0:14:00.480 question is is the running back of his team the 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:05.079 MVP of the entire NFL tells you everything you need 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:10.320 to know about what people actually think. And this is 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.000 the other reason this is such a frustrating conversation for me. 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.640 I think the vast majority of my colleagues across the 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:22.160 networks on television agree with me on brock Party. They 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.640 just don't want to say it because it makes them 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:30.120 sound either mean or the numbers say different. But our guy, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:34.120 our number one listener of What's right Show, Dusty, he 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.520 just texted this in the You know how, when a 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.920 quarterback goes out demands the point spread changes. So as 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.720 a for instance, what quarterback do you think is worth 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:50.560 the most according to the point spread? Mahomes er Mahomes 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.240 Mahomes is right. Mahomes is worth seven and a half points. 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.280 There are two other There are two quarterbacks that are 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.440 worth six and three quarters of a point six point five. 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.960 This is according to Ben Fox. Who do you think 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:04.640 those guys are? 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.440 Uh? Burrow? Maybe not right now? 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.840 Is very healthy Burrow? Is there a healthy Burrow? And 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.560 who's the other one? 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.280 You think? Josh? 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.600 Or is it Josh Allen? Okay, so so thus far 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.560 you having not seen this, you're perfect on it. Who 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.040 do you think the next three are? Give me the 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.520 names of who you would think the best the according 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:29.800 to the points. 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.160 This guy's out, Herbert Hurts. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:38.000 Herbert's next, Herbert's next, Aaron, but that doesn't really count, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.800 you know what I mean? Aaron Rodgers the and then 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:45.840 Lamar Laar, Yeah, you would have said, Lamar, You just 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:51.760 forgotten what I think definitely forgot oddly oddly after lamar 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.400 Is DeShawn. But I think that's actually in part because 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:02.120 they we saw the Brown's backup this week, Dorian Thompson Robinson. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.280 He was so bad that he's ready from UCLA that. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:05.920 It kills him. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:12.560 Okay, on that scale, according to that, what number do 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:17.520 you think brock Party ranks the drop of his so 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.840 a point and a half, by the way, is almost right. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.520 It's it's two points. But I'm saying where his rank 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.400 is amongst starting quarterbacks. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:34.200 So thirty two, Uh yeah, twenty twenty eight. 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:40.800 Twenty three, he's twenty three. He's sandwich Mac Jones and 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:45.760 Derek He's sandwich between Mac Jones and Derek Carr, which 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:52.040 is just about right, by the way, really disrespectful to 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.360 to Josh Dobbs because he's ranked thirty second because his 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.360 backup's Kyler Murray, and they're saying Dobbs is worth a 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.000 negative four and a half points again the spread, but 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.920 that just means Kyler and Josh Dobbs been awesome. Well, 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.840 that just means it's Kyler, because they're saying it's really 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.879 Kyler's worth four and a half. You follow it because 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:14.960 Kyler is the actual guy. So the guys in the twenties, 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:22.240 Daniel Jones, Jordan Love, Mac Jones, Brock Purty, Derek Carr, 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:28.280 Kenny Pickett, Baker Mayfield, Bryce Young, c J. Stroud, Desmond Ritter, 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:34.439 Sam Howell, Anthony Richardson, Josh Dobbs. Again, guys, that's just 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.160 about right now? Is part of that that the Niners 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.760 have a competent backup in Sam Darnold? Sure that they 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.440 don't have, you know, a rookie backup or disastrous backup shore, 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:51.040 But I I cannot wait for Sunday Night Football because 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.080 we're gonna see Brock Perdy, I think, in a close 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.119 game against an excellent defense. And I'm gonna ask the 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.199 audience the same thing that I asked him the last 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.320 time there was a Rock Party game on a standalone 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.560 game on national TV. Just grab a little post it 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:12.680 note and just have a little two columns wow and yikes. 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.359 And every time he makes a throw that you say, Wow, 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.440 that's a hell of a throw, give him a check mark. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.880 And every time he makes a throw you say yikes. 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.399 Could have been disaster or it was disaster, But the 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.919 check mark, my guess is you're going to end this 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:33.399 game with a whole bunch of neithers. Like, there's Deebo 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.880 Samuel running across the middle with no one within six 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.520 yards of him in any direction. Pitch and catch a 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.200 couple wows and five or six yikes, and we'll see 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:45.440 all right next to Monsey. 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.040 All right, Kansas City's one's three straight. But Mahomes thinks 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.040 that he can play better and has taken the blame. 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.880 It doesn't seem fair to put this on him, considering 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.120 his lack of death at the receiver position. 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.680 Or is it absolutely fair? 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:06.240 Patrick Patrick gets it in a way a lot of 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:12.240 people don't. There is the reason the Chiefs can get 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:19.200 by with anyone playing receiver, with rotating new and young 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.959 receivers in throughout the game and trying things out, is 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:27.360 because they have the most talented quarterback ever to live, 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.399 and the best quarterback in the league. If Patrick is 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.159 not playing like that, the offense is not going to 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:39.400 look great. Thus far, he has not been playing like that. 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:44.520 It's not that complicated. It's also why I am so 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:49.280 confident in the team because the defense has been excellent. 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:56.480 Pa Checko has really popped in year two, and Kelsey 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:01.239 is getting himself back into shape and back healthy, and 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.800 they're three to one, with the one loss being by 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:09.520 a single point in a game. Actually, I think Patrick's 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.800 best game of the year was that game against the Lions. 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.959 They just got but deviled by drops. He will be fine, 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.800 he will get it right. And then all of a sudden, 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:25.440 everyone that is arguing, oh my god, the Chiefs, miss Juju, 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:30.000 the Chiefs, Miss McCole Hardman, are gonna realize they have 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.880 about the same type of receiving core they had last year, 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.680 and they scored the most points and had the most 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.000 yards and hung thirty eight in the Super Bowl against 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.520 arguably the league's best defense with a quarterback on one leg. 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.239 But yes, the answer for the Chiefs problems is the 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.960 best player I've ever seen playing better, because right now, 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.080 the best player I've ever seen is playing like about 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.280 the seventh best quarterback in the NFL. That will not 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:04.240 get it done. This Chief offense, if they had Justin 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:09.520 Herbert at quarterback, would be screwed. And Herbert's excellent. They 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:17.000 need a uh, transcendent player at quarterback for this offense 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:18.600 to do what it needs to do. And that's what 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:19.159 they're gonna get. 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.960 Go ahead do you think Mahomes can fix these issues 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:24.200 by the time the season actually starts in November? 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.520 Yeah. Absolutely. I think that that's what this is about, 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:31.680 is working these things out. And by the way, there 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.800 is I mean, there's here's the Here is the scary 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:41.440 thing for the Chiefs. They could look like they fixed 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:47.560 the issues without having fixed the issues and to have 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:49.119 some work to do at the end of the season. 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:54.400 By that, I mean next four games before the Dolphins game, 0:21:55.840 --> 0:22:00.600 Vikings Broncos, Chargers Broncos. You don't have to have fixed 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:05.440 your offense to light up those defenses. Like so, they 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:10.159 could still have some problems, but almost have tricked themselves 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:13.000 into thinking they don't when they go into that Brea, 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.960 that Dolphins game seven and one. And by the way, 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.879 you can light up the Dolphins without having necessarily fixed 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:25.080 your issues. You can you know, the now you're gonna 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.000 the Dolphins offense can light you up, So you're gonna 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:32.560 have to but that that Dolphins defense can get God 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:38.520 is the defensively exactly. And so listen, the if I 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:42.520 were to tell you, you know, the Chiefs play this 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:46.600 year the Bengals and the Bills and the Eagles at home, 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:50.479 the Dolphins in Germany, you would say, Okay, those are 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:54.000 your toughest games on the schedule. All of those games 0:22:54.040 --> 0:23:00.359 are after November, and they have the buye between Dolphins 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.960 and Eagles. So yeah, I'm pretty confident Mahomes will get 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.800 it right and they'll be fine next all Right. 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:08.600 The Bucks look far and away like the best team 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.640 in the NFC in the NFC South thanks to your 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.480 guy Baker. But he's only he's on a cheap one 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.080 year deal. Do you think the Bucks have seen enough 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:20.320 to invest in Baker or what do you see? 0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:20.639 Having? 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.760 No? Well, so I think that if he keeps this up, 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:30.080 the Bucks should do what the Giants should have done, 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:34.320 which is you franchise Tag. I'm gonna be right, you know, 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:38.520 fair and consistent here. If you have a quarterback who 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:43.639 had very concerning returns at various points in his career 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:48.600 and then in the contract year pops like crazy, this 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:52.200 prudent move is to franchise Tag him and see if 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:57.199 he can string together consecutive excellent seasons. That's what the 0:23:57.320 --> 0:24:00.439 Giants should have done with Daniel Jones, and it's what 0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:04.200 the Baker, the Bakers, the Bucks should do with Baker. 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:07.880 What's your follow up there, He's got the six best 0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.400 best odds to win Comeback Player of the Year at 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:12.600 plus two thousand ish. 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:14.160 Is that worth a bet? 0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:17.879 No, Listen, Tomorrow Hamlin's going comeback player. Yeah, I was 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:22.080 about the Yeah, I mean every every other comeback player 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:26.000 of your bet is insane. Like Tua can't win, Baker 0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:29.560 can't win. None of these other Damar played in a game. 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.840 Once Damar was active in a game, which he was 0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:35.119 last week, he won the go ahead. 0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:40.000 I think so would go ahead honestly think Tua like 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:44.080 I think Tua's got the best chance besides Tomorrow Hamlin. 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.639 He's the best possible candidates to go up against go 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.159 up against him. You think that there's no chance that 0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.120 anybody other Tomorrow Hamlin wins it. 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:55.480 The guy's hurts up on the field, I mean we 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.040 I mean, I mean the guy was you know, I 0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:02.399 think the I think he's medically died on the field 0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.720 and they brought him back and now he's playing. I mean, 0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.960 I think that he doesn't have to play well and 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:11.399 I and that's that sounded cutting. I don't mean it 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.600 to him. I'm saying it's not It's not based on 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:17.040 how well he plays it's based on that he's playing 0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:21.080 that so I think that he he's just gonna win 0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:25.320 the award. So under normal circumstances, maybe someone else would 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:27.800 have a chance, and Baker would be a great candidate. 0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:32.920 To me, Baker would be a better, a potential better 0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:36.080 candidate than Tua, because Tua is gonna be You don't 0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:40.040 tuas in like the MVP discussion. You're not usually in 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:43.159 the MVP and Comeback Player of the Year discussion. So 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:47.280 Baker to me, is a great candidate for it, but 0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:48.720 it's gonna be DeMar Hamlin. 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.560 All right, next, all right, the Prince is a five 0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:53.679
