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.

Golf fans who snitch on potential rules violations online are clout chasers who need to shut up

We as a society need to remind people that snitches get stitches because holy shit, we had two alleged cheating events. [The people] screen grabbing, getting videos like cheater, cheater, cheater... we as a society need to just tell these people to shut the fuck up. The people who are clipping stuff and putting it online, they're clout chasing and I don't like it.

This is a subjective opinion on fan behavior.

Live 'walk-and-talk' interviews during the Masters are terrible and ruined Max Homa's round

Fuck the walk and talk interview that they made [Max Homa] do... it fucked Max Homa on the 14th hole. They make him... hand [him] a cellphone... in the middle of [his] putt. Max was walking him through the read on the putt before he hit it. No wonder he misread it because he's trying to do a fucking broadcast as he's playing in the Masters. This isn't the fucking Fortnite Open here, this is Augusta. You should not be doing a walk and talk.

Subjective opinion on broadcast innovations and their impact on player performance.

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 current NFL quarterbacks because I know the game better than they do

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. Cuz I started at such a young age and that's all I knew in order to, you know, make it in life. I thought it was just to play in the NFL really.

Kelly has not returned to the NFL since this statement to prove he can start over 50% of the league's QBs.

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.
