Lamar Jackson isn't worth $200 million guaranteed because offensive coordinators prefer passers

If we were to pull up [Lamar Jackson's] best game, you would probably be like, all right, do you really pay him 200 million? Guaranteed... a lot of offensive coordinators they want to throw the ball.

Lamar Jackson signed a $260 million deal with $185 million guaranteed shortly after this and won his second MVP in 2023, largely disproving the idea he wasn't worth a massive guarantee.

Brooks Koepka is officially back to his old major championship form

Brooks Koepka is back to his old form, silencing the haters of which there are many. He's just, he's healthy now... the fact that he went out there and he proved that he can do it to himself and he's now leading a major championship after 18 holes. That is like the big psychological hurdle he is gonna get over.

Koepka finished T2 at the 2023 Masters and went on to win the PGA Championship later that year, proving he had indeed returned to elite major form.

Joel Embiid officially clinched the MVP with his 52-point performance against the Celtics

Joel Embiid are like goldfish. It's just the last thing they saw. So he had the 52 point game against the Celtics on Tuesday night... I feel like that performance in a game against the Celtics was like, alright, officially Embiid is the MVP.

Joel Embiid was officially named the 2022-23 NBA MVP on May 2, 2023.

The Mac Jones and Bill Belichick feud is a media-driven narrative that won't result in a trade

Mac Jones is my quarterback. And this is a media driven narrative to try and create division within the most successful NFL franchise of the past 25 years... They also aren't going to trade him. The only person who reported that was Mike Florio, who's one of the greatest fiction of the 21st century.

The Patriots did not trade Mac Jones during the 2023 offseason; he remained the starter for the majority of the 2023 season before being traded in 2024.

I can read defensive progressions at a higher level than half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL

How many NFL teams do you think you could start for now... I believe I can read that progression and deliver a ball that is gonna be completed [better than half the league]... It's the ability to read down the field progressions... I can honestly say that I believe I can read that at that progression and deliver a ball that is gonna be completed.

While subjective, Kelly has not been signed by an NFL team since this take, and while he won the CFL MVP in 2023, he hasn't had the chance to prove it against NFL competition.

I could start over 50% of the quarterbacks currently in the NFL

How many quarterbacks in the NFL right now do you think that you could start over? [Chad]: 50%... I feel like I know the game a lot more than a lot of people. Cause I started at such a young age and that's all I knew in order to, you know, make it in life... I think people mistaken my on the field capabilities of thinking clearly because they see that I do some dumb things off the field.

While Kelly has been a star in the CFL, he has not secured a starting role or a roster spot in the NFL since this take, making his claim of being better than 16 current starters highly questionable.

Derek Carr isn't an NFL quarterback because he only throws one deep route

Derek Carr. Oh, okay. There we go... I watched all their games. He's only throwing one big dig. Right? One big end. That's what we call it. Right? You clear it out, you fill the date behind it. Right. If you can only do that one time in 6, 7 games, I don't know what, how you're supposed to say you're an NFL quarterback right now.

Subjective evaluation of talent, though Carr has remained a starter in the league for years afterward.
