Lamar Jackson is officially the MVP

Lamar Jackson passes Michael Vick in rushing for season for quarterback. He is the MVP. It would take basically Russell Wilson, like Russell Wilson probably gonna throw seven touchdowns every single game for last three games to surpass them.

Lamar Jackson won the 2019 NFL MVP award unanimously.

Lamar Jackson should sit out for three years to get a big contract

Should Lamar Jackson sit out the next three years of his career so he can get that big contract? No, we're going to NCAA if we're gonna bowl gamify. That's also NBA-ify three seasons of the NFL's Anthony Davis being like 'I want to be traded now' even though I still have [time] playing under contract.

Lamar Jackson did not sit out; he played through his rookie contract and eventually signed a massive extension in 2023.

Kirk Cousins cannot win games in California

Cousins can't play on the Left Coast though. He is something like 0-8 in California.

The Vikings beat the Chargers 39-10 in Carson, CA, just two days after this episode, ending his winless streak in the state.

Ryan Tannehill is peaking and will never play better than he is right now

We're in the process of watching Ryan Tannehill as good as he's probably ever as good as his body is capable of playing football. That's how he's playing. The best will ever get it's probably not going to get any better than this.

Tannehill continued to play well in 2020 (33 TDs, 7 INTs), which arguably rivaled his 2019 efficiency, though 2019 remains his highest yards-per-attempt and passer rating season.

The Cowboys are the new Falcons: high talent, low results

I finally realized what the Cowboys are: the Cowboys are the new Falcons. They are a team with a ton of talent that we say 'well, they haven't played their best game, it's coming.' You can name all these guys on the team... They're just not good. They're average to below average throughout the season.

The 2019 Cowboys finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs despite having the #1 total offense in yards, mirroring the 'empty stats' reputation of the Falcons.

Anthony Rendon's contract with the Angels is a retirement deal

This is a great move if you're Rendon because you don't like dealing with media, you don't like the spotlight that much, you don't have to worry about that. It's a retirement brilliant contract. You just move to Southern California and you get paid to just chill.

Since signing the $245M contract, Rendon has been plagued by injuries and has famously expressed a lack of passion for the game, effectively making it a 'retirement' contract in the eyes of many fans.

Jameis Winston's stats are only better than Peyton Manning's because of the era

This is how the new-age NFL [is]. This is why the Jameis Winston/Peyton Manning stats are ridiculous when you actually adjust them for era. It's like, yeah, of course Jameis Winston has these numbers that are better than Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning still played partially in the old NFL.

ERA-adjusted stats (like ANY/A+) consistently show that Manning's early years were significantly better relative to his peers than Jameis Winston's 2019 season.
