Here's the problem when you talk about Patrick Mahomes.

Here's the problem when you talk about Patrick Mahomes.

Okay, that people just don't want to acknowledge that he hasn't played that well at quarterback the last tears. Okay, you said it, but this year, Trey's trying to push back on me. Oh, he looks great, fine to me. I don't know what you're talking about. You don't know what I'm talking about. So today was judgment dead and it was judgment Day. And guess what what, it's blasphemy for anybody in NFL America, social media analysts, whatever you want to call former players. Patrick Mahomes did not rob gnot, did not get snubbed.

The three quarterbacks they picked all are having way better years than Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen. Please, who are you taking out of that list to put Patrick Mahomes who throw fifteen touchdowns and eleven picks.

True, so all another nine?

That Yeah, fifteen and eleven is almost a one to one ratio.

The only thing I'll make the case for him is what you actually hate, and that is history. Right, That's it's not what this is. No, I'm saying, that's what I'm saying. People will go, well, historically he has you know, he's won two Super Bowls in a row, trying to compete for a third.

He has been an MVP.

He's got he's probably the most known quarterback in all of the land, and he has come on strong.

He's got he's probably the most known quarterback in all of the land, and he has come on strong.

And this season on.

And this season on.

Paper, for another year, would be a Pro Bow caliber season for other players. But but the the idea of this team is fifteen and one.

Yes, and he's not in the conversation for MVP.

Yes, and he's not in the conversation for MVP.

Tells you all you need to know, Like not right, because you always use Josh Allen's record as a reason that he should get the MVP over Lamar. Well, they're gonna use that because what I'm saying last year for Lamar Jackson, Okay, yeah, but the difference was go look at the what the winds he had last year. Here's my other point, all right, that's my my biggest point is it's not a lifetime achievement award. It has nothing to do with oh, he's a ball, he can't play. No, he wasn't one of the three best quarterbacks in the conference.

No, he wasn't one of the three best quarterbacks in the conference.

The big difference is they made plays all throughout the game. Lamar Jackson made plays pretty much ninety percent of the games when he this season, it has been ridiculous what he says he's been able to do. And Josh Allen for the most part as well, and Joe Burrow. The difference is you could argue Patrick Mahomes has made the winning plays when he needed to stop because the falacy that yes, it is.

Watch the game. Yeah, I watched the game. If he needed to get that run, he got that run.

It's unfortunately nothing to do with Patrick Mahome. That absolutely it does. He continuously put them in a position to be there. Here's my only ground. I'm not mad at the three of them making it. They all have amazing seasons, without a doubt. The only thing at this point he ain't looking for the Pro Bowl. He'll be looking for the third super Bowl.

That's right. But that's right.

That's right. But that's right.

That's so I'm not talking about you can't talk about the super Bowl.

That's so I'm not talking about you can't talk about the super Bowl.

We're talking about the regular season.

We're talking about the regular season.

So I'm not that's again, those three are all deserving my my issue, are not my issue. The one thing I will say, the only pushback I have a little bit, and it's not so much the Pro Bowl. It's just kind of this last few week narrative is everybody having all this sorrow for Joe Burrow, and I'm starting to feel little like, hey, hey, hey, hey hey, because this is.

So I'm not that's again, those three are all deserving my my issue, are not my issue. The one thing I will say, the only pushback I have a little bit, and it's not so much the Pro Bowl.

To me bigger than the NVA.

To me bigger than the NVA.

His quarterback rating is in the top four. I don't know, it's not sorrow. He's played really as.

His quarterback rating is in the top four. I don't know, it's not sorrow. He's played really as.

But I'm talking about you got the Micah Parsons and other people saying that's the real MVP that and I'm like, all right, settle down, because all of a sudden, we be changing what we historically have done. And no guy who has the potential to be eight nine if he were to lose this week. And now there's a bunch of people who think Joe Burrow should be the MVP.

But I'm talking about you got the Micah Parsons and other people saying that's the real MVP that and I'm like, all right, settle down, because all of a sudden, we be changing what we historically have done. And no guy who has the potential to be eight nine if he were to lose this week. And now there's a bunch of people who think Joe Burrow should be the MVP.

No way, he's an MVP, and I agree.

No way, he's an MVP, and I agree.

I'm saying that there's a lot of push for him, and I'm like, dude, you got to stop having your team start out bad, Like stop Joe oh man. You know what the Bengals do. They always start off bad, they'll they'll come back strong. It's like, how about you just start off four and oh five and one? You know, can you do that? So to me, then you'd be the MVP, or then you'd be the easy Probram. We wouldn't have any these conversations about who got snubbed not. That's my only thing about Joe Burrow is I'm kind of tired of the whole they start slow, watch him come back and they're gonna do this, and it backfired on him because he could have been and maybe even should have been if you're looking at this stats, the MVP.

I'm saying that there's a lot of push for him, and I'm like, dude, you got to stop having your team start out bad, Like stop Joe oh man. You know what the Bengals do.

But all three absolutely are two games.

But all three absolutely are two games.

We had nine touchdowns again, Okay, and took two l's because guess what, Lamar played even better.

We had nine touchdowns again, Okay, and took two l's because guess what, Lamar played even better.

That's it.

So But but Patrick Mahomes at this point, no he I mean I can't even argue.

So But but Patrick Mahomes at this point, no he I mean I can't even argue.

With him being people always out like Michael Jordan wouldn't make a pro. It's not even all pro. All pro is different. It's like almost a popularity contest. And his numbers this year was so bad that they couldn't even fudge it. They fudged it for him last year. Last year he had a week season as well, and they and he pushed Joe Barrow. I mean argue Josh Allen out. I would argue people questioned him last year being on it, and this year they couldn't even do it.

I mean argue Josh Allen out. I would argue people questioned him last year being on it, and this year they couldn't even do it.

I would argue less, they couldn't fudge it for him this year, I will argue more just those three are having great years now they can fudge it. It's less about he was this bad or this. He wasn't that he was that bad. He was that bad, they were that great. That's where will disagree. He wasn't that bad.

I would argue less, they couldn't fudge it for him this year, I will argue more just those three are having great years now they can fudge it. It's less about he was this bad or this. He wasn't that he was that bad. He was that bad, they were that great. That's where will disagree. He wasn't that bad.

He wasn't touchdowns and eleven picks to start, and he's so why are you.

He wasn't touchdowns and eleven picks to start, and he's so why are you.

Not talking about the last three eleven touchdowns and no interceptions.

Because because that came too late. It came too late. That's why they make the Pro Bowl. You gotta hear season.

Because because that came too late. It came too late. That's why they make the Pro Bowl. You gotta hear season.

That's my point. I'm counting the entire season. But is a pro whole caliber season? If these other three das are a LEAs not a Pro Bowl?

Lamar Jackson is an alien, which is why I've said the entire season, he's the best player in the NFL. Josh Allen could argue, Hey, Kelvin, I'm the best player in the NFL. So they're to me, it's more about their greatness less about him.

And I get it.

And I get it.

It's a great story. Washington's a great story. But the fact that Baker didn't have his number is two best wide receivers for majority of the season. He put up those numbers and it's looking like they're going to make the playoffs.

I'm one of the few people who have been critical of him. Uh this he missed, He's missed them throws that you normally own. He normally would make that throw historically, and he was allowed to rely on his defense. Sure, I think again, I think it's just more of a compliment. Lamar Jackson is literally out of this world this year, like we thought wow last year.

That what I'm saying is normally they do, they get a Lifetime Achievement Award. I'm just happy that that for once, we could just take a look at the season. It wasn't a great season, wasn't a fair Nobody's saying he can't play. Nobody says he can't win the Super Bowl. Nobody says he can't run the table in the play.

But they got a good team, man, big time win.

Yeah, yeah, it was a huge win, man. And uh, you know my thoughts before the game, I was, uh, you know, I was a little worried about our tackling, you know what I mean, with a bigger, you know, running type set team with the Georgia, you know, I was worrying. I was worried about how we would do up front, you know what I mean, just you know, being physical and matching their speed. And then Riley Leonard, you know, can he make those timely throws? Man? And uh, I think they did really really well, you know what I mean, me and Georgia being a great second half team. I was worried about, you know, Marcus Freeman and his staff, how they would do against Kirby Smart his staff and those adjustments at halftime. So overall, man, I think Notre Dame did really well and showed that they're one of the top teams. Man, that's not the top team to possibly win it all.

You know what, Marcus Freeman, you just mentioned him and we're looking at him right now. He's at the podium accepting the trophy and all that for the Sugar Bowl. What an incredible start to his tenure. What would you say is the thing that you can identify this is well, maybe even a couple things, but you say, this is what I like, This is what he brings. This is why this team may be different than some of these teams in the past.

This is why this team may be different than some of these teams in the past.

Yeah, you know what I mean. I think he brings great energy, he brings great authenticity, you know what I mean. And he is a younger guy, so he relates really well to the players, you know what I mean. He's big on you know what I mean. When he's recruiting, he's guy he's building relationships, but he's also still bringing the bag, you know what I mean. So he's one of those guys that you know, a lot of people can relate to. A lot of guys on the team and a lot of people that they you know, they look up to, you know, just in this you know, new intersection of name. It was likeness and you know, being able to relate to these young guys. We couldn't ask for a better leader and a better head coach.

I gotta admit, when you guys lost to Northern Illinois, I thought they gonna run this brother of today, I was like, that was a bad, bad loss and notre Day recovered. I mean when they when this, when your school lost, what was the thought there? Could you believe in Northern Illinois?

I gotta admit, when you guys lost to Northern Illinois, I thought they gonna run this brother of today, I was like, that was a bad, bad loss and notre Day recovered. I mean when they when this, when your school lost, what was the thought there? Could you believe in Northern Illinois?

You know what I was? I was, you know, of course upset about the win, but I knew that it happened early enough in the season that they would have a lot of opportunities that they ran on the table, they would do really well. They kept it, you know, to focus on the main thing, which is winning week to week, and they did that. And I thought that, you know, most of these teams that you know, go and win a national championship, especially in this era where you can have you know, you can grab so many different talent pools and make your team really good year to year. Just like most teams, they're gonna have their their you know, ups and down thought the season, and it's the teams that are able to you know, reseal through that and you know what I mean, show show that ability to push past the downside of it. Just like an Ohio State team. They're gonna go through those rough passes and it's the teams that can, you know what I mean, block up the noise and put the work in. And that's what they were able to do.

Here's what scares me about Notre Damon. Why I don't think they can win the national championship.

Here's what scares me about Notre Damon. Why I don't think they can win the national championship.

Tonight?

Tonight?

They scored one offensive touchdown and even that was only thirteen yards coming off a turnover. Where's the offense coming from? Is there enough offense? I saw Ohio State go go crazy? Man, right, I mean like that that that doesn't get one touch offensive touchdown?

They scored one offensive touchdown and even that was only thirteen yards coming off a turnover. Where's the offense coming from? Is there enough offense? I saw Ohio State go go crazy? Man, right, I mean like that that that doesn't get one touch offensive touchdown?

See, I can't. It's hard for me to talk about the offense reducing without talking about the defensibility to stop the other team's offense. You know what I mean. Ye offense all have to say, got these great offensive players. You know in Penn State our next matchup, they'll bring a lot of you know, nu ice play calling and all this good stuff. But I still believe in our defense to be able to stop them and not you know, of course, thing we didn't score a lot of points. Of course, we didn't give up a lot of points either, but we got our special teams going, we got our field goal kicker making field goals. And if you can just put points on the board and a lot of these opportunities and you don't leave points out there, you don't turn the ball over, and you take what's there and you make sure you're pointing points on the board every time. You put yourself in a really good position because these games are gonna come down to some close opportunities, you know what I mean. And I don't fear any offense right now. I don't think there's any offense where I'm like, man, this team could just go up and score forty points because of the way our defense is playing. So if right winner is able to do what he's doing in terms of controlling the ball, our officive lion controlling it up front, and we're able to run the ball and play that all control offense in this score points when we need to, we're gonna be just fine.

See, I can't. It's hard for me to talk about the offense reducing without talking about the defensibility to stop the other team's offense. You know what I mean. Ye offense all have to say, got these great offensive players. You know in Penn State our next matchup, they'll bring a lot of you know, nu ice play calling and all this good stuff.

Well, yeah, I'm gonna have a tough time, but hopefully that defense can stand up for you guys as you go up against Penn State, Jonas Gray, our guest, former NFL running back, Notre Dame alum, president of Athletes and Management. Because they ran the ball they being Pence State for over a couple hundred yards. They obviously the defense will solid against a Boise State attack offensively that have been good throughout the season.

So how do you feel about that matchup?

So how do you feel about that matchup?

Uh?

Uh?

And then and then the kind of piggyback to that will be how do you feel overall about this college football playoff system?

And then and then the kind of piggyback to that will be how do you feel overall about this college football playoff system?

Yeah? So I feel really good about the matchup. I feel that, you know, we're we're used to playing a team like Penn State. We you know, we have a lot of you know, familiar kind of strengths, you know what I mean. We have familiar kind of background in history, you know what I mean. When you think about two great programs, you think about Penn State Notre Dame, you know what I mean. So I'm excited for that matchup. I think that, uh, you know, at the end of the day, it's gonna come down to who's able to make the most plays when we need to, And I think we have the most playmakers. We have guys that you know what I mean, are women to make those plays. And then you know far as overall with the college football playoffs this year, with the twelve teams, you know, I think it's hard to get it right. There's no perfect finds to it. But I think they were able to get the best twelve teams this year. I know people felt like there was a few snubs here and there, but all you're able to do as a team is go out and do what you're supposed to, you know what I mean. And all those teams they did what they're supposed to and they were the conference champions or they won a lot of games, and they want big games. So I think it's the way it's supposed to be.

Yeah? So I feel really good about the matchup. I feel that, you know, we're we're used to playing a team like Penn State. We you know, we have a lot of you know, familiar kind of strengths, you know what I mean. We have familiar kind of background in history, you know what I mean. When you think about two great programs, you think about Penn State Notre Dame, you know what I mean. So I'm excited for that matchup. I think that, uh, you know, at the end of the day, it's gonna come down to who's able to make the most plays when we need to, And I think we have the most playmakers. We have guys that you know what I mean, are women to make those plays. And then you know far as overall with the college football playoffs this year, with the twelve teams, you know, I think it's hard to get it right. There's no perfect finds to it. But I think they were able to get the best twelve teams this year. I know people felt like there was a few snubs here and there, but all you're able to do as a team is go out and do what you're supposed to, you know what I mean. And all those teams they did what they're supposed to and they were the conference champions or they won a lot of games, and they want big games. So I think it's the way it's supposed to be.

I have a problem with it because the games, most of the games have not been competitive, and I just question, is there really twelve teams out there that should be vying for the national championship. I know people want to open it up and put teams in, but as football fans, do we really want to just watch blowouts in the postseason?

Yeah, I mean a great point. I think it's to be seen, you know what I mean. This is how the first year went, you know what I mean, It just happened, so to be blowouts you know what I mean, And those teams happen to be the teams who have the you know, the home for the advantage, and they're playing at home, and we know how it is in these college football environments and playing at you know, these home stadiums, playing at you know, Notre Dame Stadium, playing at you know, playing in Penn State. You know what I mean, Those are tough, tough environments. So maybe it's some people where it's called neutral fields, but I just go back to just the pageantry of it all, just the excitement of the games and having it at Notre Dame, having it at Penn State. I don't see how as the first round, if you're the college football Playoff committee, you're not open to just seeing the best part of college football, which is playing it at a college football stadium.

Did you do you feel like, I mean, at this point has been the case for so long, but just with the way things are aligning, the Big Ten now being like Big eighteen really and all of those types of things, Notre Dame not being in a coma all, do you do you just get worried about that at all?

Like how this could affect things?

You know, I get worried in terms of you know, I would worry this season in terms of how the conference championship will go. You know what I mean, if there was a few upsets, I was worried that Notre the name may find themselves on the outside looking in. So that isn't worry. But at the end of the day, I think it gives Notre Dame the ability to play teams wherever, you know what I mean, and play multiple great opponents, you know what I mean, being able to play USC this year, and then you know, even though Florida State had a down year, being able to play at Florida State, you know what I mean, us being able to play you know, very good you know, thorough breaks teams and programs. It's only going to help us at the end of the day. And you know what I mean, at the end of the day, all you can do is just beat the opponent that's right in front of you, you know. And I know there is some you know, leaning towards a big TAN in the SEC and all of that, but I think it's just about we're the best players, that we're the best competition. And I think you know, over the years, the College Football Committee will start to learn different things that will come to play and making these decisions. But I think it's not a perfect science. And I like what they did this first year.
