The Chiefs go out, or the Lions go out, or Lamar wins the MVP.

There you go, you already know, well, let's do that. Let's start there, Rob g with Lamar Jackson in the News of the Day, News of the Day, shuck were you and Calvin? That's what I really wanted.

There you go, you already know, well, let's do that. Let's start there, Rob g with Lamar Jackson in the News of the Day, News of the Day, shuck were you and Calvin? That's what I really wanted.

I was shook it because we found out in the mid morning today on Friday that the first Team All Pro quarterback of the NFL was not the odds on MVP favorite Josh Allen. Instead, Lamar Jackson ran away with it, getting thirty first place votes eighteen for Josh Allen. This is his third first Team All Pro, the third most NFL history, behind only Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers.

He's in lead twenty seven.

He's in lead twenty seven.

Not only that, Rob, this is why I like singing his praises. This was the same guy they told to be a receiver, the same guy they said won't have a place in this league. He should go be a running back or you know, kind of a GIF gimmick player HVAC. And now he's setting records with the season. He is his highest percentage of anything. You look at highest yard, it's like he's getting better and better, not just as all he's FASTI no, no, no, no, as a quarter back. And that's to me, what's been tremendous about his his career thus far is that he had some deficiencies and you know what he did, Like many people, he got better, Magic Johnson knockdown free throws got better, right, you know, Kobe Airball got better.

Have you changed your mind now on the on the MVP, because the whole time you said the narrative and the writers you said that he played well enough, but you believe.

Have you changed your mind now on the on the MVP, because the whole time you said the narrative and the writers you said that he played well enough, but you believe.

That I just felt like the narrative. There you go.

That I just felt like the narrative. There you go.

So I'm gonna still believe that Josh Allen by the hair on my chinny chin chin, I think is very close. And last point, I think Josh Allen did this service the last few weeks, how he played against bad teams, he just it wasn't horrible.

So I'm gonna still believe that Josh Allen by the hair on my chinny chin chin, I think is very close. And last point, I think Josh Allen did this service the last few weeks, how he played against bad teams, he just it wasn't horrible.

One was horrible. I was like, eh, and to credit Lamar, he just kept being Lamar.

One was horrible. I was like, eh, and to credit Lamar, he just kept being Lamar.

And then that last week we talked about just not playing when it wasn't that he necessarily needed it, but it would have been great. If you're Josh Allen if I was in his camp to say, let's put an exclamation point on the season and just not play and just you know that just wasn't good and such a close race.

But rob G, you have changed. You flipped now, right, I have?

But rob G, you have changed. You flipped now, right, I have?

And that's only because listen to the stat that he's about.

And that's only because listen to the stat that he's about.

The history is working against us. Doug Okay, that's because the last eleven first team All Pro quarterbacks went on to win the MVP. In fact, we have not seen a quarterback who was not First team All Pro that won the MVP that was like a second team All part it ended up winning since nineteen eighty seven. And John Elway, well.

You know started covering the league then.

That's right, That's that's what I started covering the lab and as a result, I know you guys are both degenerate gamblers.

That's right, That's that's what I started covering the lab and as a result, I know you guys are both degenerate gamblers.

What's happened now?

What's happened now?

A five hours ago, Oh, Vegas, the consensus MVP odds where Josh Allen minus five hundred.

A five hours ago, Oh, Vegas, the consensus MVP odds where Josh Allen minus five hundred.

Now you can get a different place, different places, but minus five hundred this afternoon, now that the All Pro odds are out, Lamar Jackson minus two sixty.

Now you can get a different place, different places, but minus five hundred this afternoon, now that the All Pro odds are out, Lamar Jackson minus two sixty.

Is that unbelievable. Vegas is not giving away not giving away money. That's unbelievable and it is a massive, massive credit to Lamar if this ends up being the case, because his whole and he didn't buckle at having Deshaun Jacks, Derek Henry. You know, we're like, no, this's my team. I don't want to take away from what I do. Like it only enhanced him. His numbers went up. You would think that take away from him. His numbers went up, He played the best of his year, better than last year, and he won VP. All the stuff is in the making, and if he wins it, I'll be happy for him. I just thought my whole point was it ain't that he ain't the best. I've said that. Then I just felt like I thought people were gonna go, oh, Josh Allen, the numbers are too good that they just that's the credit to him.

Then I just felt like I thought people were gonna go, oh, Josh Allen, the numbers are too good that they just that's the credit to him.

That he's the numbers are too good. The over forty touchdowns for interceptions quarterback wait for the fourth best quarterback waiting in the history of the NFL. That's Harvard Rodgers has the first two, Peyton Manny has the third, and now.

That he's the numbers are too good. The over forty touchdowns for interceptions quarterback wait for the fourth best quarterback waiting in the history of the NFL. That's Harvard Rodgers has the first two, Peyton Manny has the third, and now.

Are Aaron Rodgers is below that? Yeah, you know what I mean, Like, let's listen. I don't mind being wrong, especially when it's the guy I believe he has been the best. I just thought they were, you know, Like I said, My whole point was Lebron was the best. He only won four. Jordan was the best, he only one five, like it happens. And I just thought Lamar is the best, and I thought they would be like, yea, he is. But I never weigh a couple, you know, I didn't. I never wait, I still listen, it's still very close. It's not close from this standpoint, thirty to eighteen. Those people aren't gonna flip their votes for they just photo for. Those are the same at most, That's what the same most of them are.

Are Aaron Rodgers is below that? Yeah, you know what I mean, Like, let's listen. I don't mind being wrong, especially when it's the guy I believe he has been the best.

It's not close from this standpoint, thirty to eighteen. Those people aren't gonna flip their votes for they just photo for. Those are the same at most, That's what the same most of them are.

That's why it's always looked at as a precursor. I mean, eleven years in a row, right, right, wrong, That's what I'm saying. That's a precursor to it, because no one, if you voted for him all pro how are you not going to vote for him for MVP.

That's why it's always looked at as a precursor. I mean, eleven years in a row, right, right, wrong, That's what I'm saying. That's a precursor to it, because no one, if you voted for him all pro how are you not going to vote for him for MVP.

It makes no sense. So you're not going to change that, change your vote? Who just did that?

It makes no sense. So you're not going to change that, change your vote? Who just did that?

Well, I will say, even though it didn't happen in the totality of the vote. The last time something like this happened. Was we talked about it for Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady a few years ago with the MVP. There were voters who voted for tom Brady for All Pro because his numbers were just incredible, but when it came to MVP, they thought that Rogers was more valuable. Now, the problem, though, is you got to flip fifteen of those guys too many?

Well, I will say, even though it didn't happen in the totality of the vote. The last time something like this happened.

Now, the problem, though, is you got to flip fifteen of those guys too many?

No, right, that's it's thirty to eighteen.

No, right, that's it's thirty to eighteen.

So that's that's the law. And again one of the two things. Two things. Also, I think hell Lamar Jackson is the best player had and not only he's the ranting MVP and had a better season, so that only helps his campaign. Secondly, I do believe Sakwan Barkley not going for the record, not that he was, you know, running backs don't win it, but breaking a record. I do think he might have gotten some votes. We've had former players come on and say, hey, if I had a vote, I would vote for him. That's been Yeah, they probably would have taken away from Josh Allen. And then well that's possible too. And and then I think Josh Allen again bad little three game stretch where he wasn't playing great, and the teams he wasn't playing great against weren't great or good teams. That definitely left that window open. So he he uh he Golden State worried this.

Okay.

Okay.

Now, I'm a Ravens fan. I've been Ravens fan for a long time because I was a Brown fan and they moved to Baltimore, so the MVP by definition, most valuable player to their team. Lamar Jackson had an all Pro year, no doubt with the numbers. But where's Baltimore without Lamar in a regular quarterback? They're still in the playoffs with Derrick Henry and the rest of the sporting squad. Are you sure where is positive with Derek Henry and Derreck Henry and in the tight ends and flycay so so.

I couldn't tell you.

And you know why, because Lamar played even better.

I'm just saying, I don't say no but to say to take, but to say to take him off, and it doesn't matter.

I just I think.

I just I think.

I mean, that's crazy, but I do think people this is why I said I reserved the hair of my chin, that they're still hope for Josh Allen in that there are people who really leave that thanks they really believe Josh. They're acting as if Josh Allen has no one on his team. That's a big thing. They're saying, who's he throwing to you? Okay, but he doesn't have Dereck Henry in his backfield.

That's all I'm saying, But that the key part of that title most valuable, not best, not best offensive, most valuable. There is the one hope for Josh Allen.

Like I've been on. I've been on the same man when you guys been on with Lamar, I'm rooting for him. I think, yes, I hope that those numbers that they took up the polls can secure it, especially because his last two weeks of this season he's been taken out of the game early. I do know that because in Week seventeen in my fantasy league, I won my fantasy league because the guy I was going up against he had Lamar Jackson, and they set him down in the second half and he already had thirty points and I was like, oh my god, But anyway, do you win. Yeah, I wanted the lead because of that.

Uh.

But you know that's the reason he wins the MVP this year. Then he probably shouldn't have won it last year.

But you know that's the reason he wins the MVP this year. Then he probably shouldn't have won it last year.

But that's not true.

Last year they beat ten teams over five hundred. This year I think he was He beat seven teams that had winning records like he It's not like he wasn't beating anybody like I don't want people to make it like like he didn't beat anybody.

If if what we've seen is true that by Lamar winning all pro thirty votes to eighteen over Josh, then the question is he's the man, he's got three MVPs. Is there more pressure now for him in the playoffs? Will have that conversation after we see what's trending with Steve the Seger.

So there's the thought is if Lamar Jackson has sealed the deal, third MVP, twenty seven years old, it's been to the postseason all these years, but hasn't had the success in the postseason you would desire. Is there more added pressure now that he once again is the MVP.

So there's the thought is if Lamar Jackson has sealed the deal, third MVP, twenty seven years old, it's been to the postseason all these years, but hasn't had the success in the postseason you would desire. Is there more added pressure now that he once again is the MVP.

I don't think he's added I think it's the same pressure.

I don't think he's added I think it's the same pressure.

I don't think he I don't think he goes in the seasons saying I want to win the MVP. You just play and you win because you're that good. So I don't think there's any added pressure. I think that there's the same pressure until he can break through. There are always gonna be people that are gonna use that and hold it against him, which I get. Josh Allen is the same way all great players. There's expectations. Dan Marino went to the Super Bowl his second year in the league, never went back. You don't think people were talking about that was Dan Marino ever gonna get back?

When is he gonna get back? Those are expectations because.

When is he gonna get back? Those are expectations because.

People believe in you and think you're that good and you deserve to win or you will win. So I think it's external, But I don't think it's internal pressure where he's like, oh my god, I gotta win this year. No, he's going he wants to win. I don't doubt that for one second that he just wants. He wants to win a super Bowl.

And that's why you play, and not only that's why you play, that's why you get better.

Right, he played well last year against the Texans and then they had that crazy game plan.

We all watched that game. Hey, he talked about it recently.

We all watched that game. Hey, he talked about it recently.

I don't even want to Roger if we do have that sign it off from Lamar talking about what he's been why he's had these playoffs six struggles. He said that you know, he was just kind of overthinking it and he just wasn't at ease. And he feels much more at he's and Obviously, anytime you're in a big time pressure ize situation, that's the tended you know, you ever think it. But I love the fact that he continues to get better, he continued.

He doesn't.

He doesn't.

He didn't come in the league and just say I'm better than everybody fast and everybody more talented, and they take that. He keeps getting better. And to me, when I see that mixed with this talent, that's only gonna lead to to a Super Bowl appearance.

He didn't come in the league and just say I'm better than everybody fast and everybody more talented, and they take that. He keeps getting better. And to me, when I see that mixed with this talent, that's only gonna lead to to a Super Bowl appearance.

You got that, And then then and then the second part is right, last year didn't have a Derek Henry. They were doing it by committee to running back and last lost in that In that game where they lost, Uh Chiefs, they rushed the ball for like four or five times from their running back.

You got that, And then then and then the second part is right, last year didn't have a Derek Henry. They were doing it by committee to running back and last lost in that In that game where they lost, Uh Chiefs, they rushed the ball for like four or five times from their running back.

Can you imagine that? Like seriously, like what gamest and fired if he did that with Derek Henry.

Lamar Jackson speaking Lamar Jackson, here's what he had to say about the playoffs and his lack of success.

Lamar Jackson speaking Lamar Jackson, here's what he had to say about the playoffs and his lack of success.

Yeah, I appreciate his honesty, you know what I mean.

Yeah, I appreciate his honesty, you know what I mean.

He knows these are big games. He wants to perform well. And he didn't say it, but I think I'm right, and I'll say it for him. I do think there's an element of him that wanted to prove everyone wrong that I can win these games on my arm. Now my legs, not mathleticism. We talked about my arm. I think he a little bit of him wanted to prove the doubters wrong in that regard. And with that you sometimes take away your superpower, which is you're gifted and talented enough to do both. And I think he kind of took away a superpower by being hell been on proven that he can win it with his arm.

Do you remember for me this year was that throw to Bateman. Remember we talked about yep, and through the forty or five yards right on the money, right on it, like the window is this small and the only place that could go. And I looked at that. That was a guy that people thought couldn't throw them.

And he's done that now another ten times this season where he was running, run and running and just you know, hit the guy right on the money again.

And he's done that now another ten times this season where he was running, run and running and just you know, hit the guy right on the money again.

He has become superman.

He has become superman.

Uh. But yeah, he's at that place where the greats get, you know, where that place says we expect you to win one, We already know you're gonna win ten eleven, twelve, thirteen games. Now we already know you're gonna be an MVP candidate, But Lebron James, can you win a championship? Michael Jordan flying through the air, You won an MVP seven championship. I remember I.

Uh. But yeah, he's at that place where the greats get, you know, where that place says we expect you to win one, We already know you're gonna win ten eleven, twelve, thirteen games.

Was covering the league back then, and people are like, well, he's a great player, but he doesn't make anybody better. He doesn't win because them. Yeah, and that's what they said. That's where you gay said. And here's the other thing we talked about off the air. Say he does win, he's got three MVPs before. Right, if he wins this, which I believe you will by twenty seven his birthdays.

Yep, is he ate twenty eight? Ye, he'll be eighty seven.

Yep, is he ate twenty eight? Ye, he'll be eighty seven.

Okay, twenty seven, but he'll be twenty three before twenty at twenty eight. And if he wins a super Bowl and he can like just play and rely and like that's the monkey's off his back, so to speak. Can you imagine what this guy, what damnage he could do the next I mean, he's already got he'll have three MVP Aaron Rodgers has four.

Okay, twenty seven, but he'll be twenty three before twenty at twenty eight. And if he wins a super Bowl and he can like just play and rely and like that's the monkey's off his back, so to speak. Can you imagine what this guy, what damnage he could do the next I mean, he's already got he'll have three MVP Aaron Rodgers has four.

He will have people he didn't think four years ago he would have because he's not a good passer. He can't do that.

He will have people he didn't think four years ago he would have because he's not a good passer. He can't do that.

He's only a runner. He's just an athlete, not really a quarterback.

He's only a runner. He's just an athlete, not really a quarterback.

Well, we're gonna start having some conversations in the next three to four years if he keeps going at this rate.

Well, we're gonna start having some conversations in the next three to four years if he keeps going at this rate.

And gets one maybe two.

And gets one maybe two.

Didn't you saying, all right, well, let me think because he's gonna start knocking some people out, Like, does he not got a jam?

Didn't you saying, all right, well, let me think because he's gonna start knocking some people out, Like, does he not got a jam?

That way?

That way?

Does he knock I'm not saying we don't. We have time and you not talking about this. I'm saying, but he starts to be coming. Oh well, shoot, is he better than Aaron Rodgers? Is he better than an that way?

Does he knock I'm not saying we don't. We have time and you not talking about this. I'm saying, but he starts to be coming. Oh well, shoot, is he better than Aaron Rodgers? Is he better than an that way?

You know?

You know?

Is he better than a Peyton? Peyton was a pure passer. But you start to have he's you know, and I'm not saying he is, but you start having.

Is he better than a Peyton? Peyton was a pure passer. But you start to have he's you know, and I'm not saying he is, but you start having.

The five m vps and what's seven all pros? That's pretty impressive for real. But not even when he's seven.

The five m vps and what's seven all pros? That's pretty impressive for real. But not even when he's seven.

No, I know.

No, I know.

Him to have seven more years of around this. Maybe it's eighty percent of it, you know, but he ain't. I don't think he's going anywhere. And he's proven us he takes his craft seriously and only wants to get better.

Bob G jump in this question might sound blasphemous. I think it's appropriate given what we got today.

I think I know where you're going is go ahead.

I think I know where you're going is go ahead.

If he gets the super Bowl this year, which is not out of the round of possibility, for sure he gets it. And and I'm assuming if he wins, he's probably gonna be the envy because.

If he gets the super Bowl this year, which is not out of the round of possibility, for sure he gets it. And and I'm assuming if he wins, he's probably gonna be the envy because.

He's the quarterback. Just that's the way it works out. Is he suddenly in the Mahomes.

He's the quarterback. Just that's the way it works out. Is he suddenly in the Mahomes.

Conversation, where like, hey, he could also be the guy who's in that Tom Brady got debate. Yes, because individually, his accolades are.

Gonna be or better, are right, right, right because of the especially the last two years with Mahomes right, and that helps.

Gonna be or better, are right, right, right because of the especially the last two years with Mahomes right, and that helps.

That helps, And if all he has to do, he doesn't have to because Mahomes is what three and one yes correct. So so say he wins too and without a loss or something, and he's piling up these other numbers, you'll start to look at it during this it's listen, it's because of his other accolades. But of course he has to win super Bowl to even get in that conversation. But Rob G, I don't think it's outraged because.

It's very similar to Peyton and breaking down there you go, Brady was not viewed as the greatest until he got like number five, right.

It's very similar to Peyton and breaking down there you go, Brady was not viewed as the greatest until he got like number five, right.

But but yeah, because he also passed Joe Montana, who had the far and that's when when it flipped because it wasn't like that. Don't forget Brady. And here's the other thing with Mahomes that that could possibly happen. He could have a Brady like where Brady won three early, right, and then went nine years without winning.

And here's the other thing with Mahomes that that could possibly happen. He could have a Brady like where Brady won three early, right, and then went nine years without winning.

Like as the Chiefs get older and any weeks like there's.

Like as the Chiefs get older and any weeks like there's.

A chance that the Chiefs have to say they don't win this year, just say okay, and then they go nine years or eight years, Mahomes a little older, right, all of a sudden his career and then the last you look at him in the last seven or eight years and you go, well, you know what, Lamar ran it.

A chance that the Chiefs have to say they don't win this year, just say okay, and then they go nine years or eight years, Mahomes a little older, right, all of a sudden his career and then the last you look at him in the last seven or eight years and you go, well, you know what, Lamar ran it.

And then to go back to the Brady conversation, why I said until he got five, that was when it was kind of like, all right, well, there's no debate anymore. I'm not even talking about just the Montana that I'm talking about of his generation, right, it was no I think Payin's better. Payn's got the five MVPs, got all the All pros, even though he only has one Super Bowl. He's a better quarterback than Tom Brady and Lamar is gonna he could theoretically have that going for him, where he has, you know, four MVPs and five first team All Pro whatever it is.

And then to go back to the Brady conversation, why I said until he got five, that was when it was kind of like, all right, well, there's no debate anymore.

He's a better quarterback than Tom Brady and Lamar is gonna he could theoretically have that going for him, where he has, you know, four MVPs and five first team All Pro whatever it is.

And suddenly it's like.

And suddenly it's like.
