Henry having career year, too. I look at this, too. The Ravens won nine games this year against teams that had winning records at the end, and the Bills, as most in the league, the Bills won three during the regular season. And for a lot of this year, that Ravens defense and even special teams with Tucker were bad. And he was winning those games against Burrow that you never win.

When your defense is just getting lit up, You don't win those games. And Lamar has won those games over his career at a much higher rate than other quarterbacks. And he did it this year. And to me, their defense came around late in the year and Tucker made some more kicks. The defense was helping them late in the year.

But I would say for two thirds of this year, he was overcoming to a degree that others were not.

They got away with it this year because they didn't design a run him Lamar, just the threat of him being a run because Josh runs a lot too. I mean, he's a, he's a threat, but I feel like when you play Lamar Jackson, you are, you have a major game plan consideration for him as a runner that you don't have for anybody else. And now that he's passing better, like, It's kind of a pick your poison.

They're pretty amazing. Let's do some offseason stuff. Miles Garrett, what's going to happen? I think Cleveland needs to have some kind of resolution and positive outlook at the quarterback position sooner than later this offseason to make some of that stuff go away. I think that they are going down... We talked about different types of fatigue.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
Browns, Deshaun fatigue, and just where the Browns are at fatigue, I think is real. I think that's part of this with Miles Garrett. I think the other part of it has to be the fact that he's got two years left on his deal, and then if it's guaranteed, he probably, I would think, would...

A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
want to do a new deal now i would if i were him instead of two years from now when he's uh you know going into year 11 or something uh he's probably gonna his production over the next two years will probably not go up what i'm saying so that could be a part of this too uh and
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
Just timing-wise, the Browns are super leveraged with their cap and all this, so it would be easier to move him in June, after June, for the league's accounting purposes. So I could see this thing kind of dragging out. Maybe he doesn't show up to anything this offseason, and then we see what the quarterback situation is there.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
We see if a contract component is part of this for him, if any fences could kind of be mended there and they move on. Do they have to reassess at a certain point too and be more honest about where they're at?
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
Is there kind of a little bit of a taking of a step back this offseason based on what happens at the quarterback position that could lead them down the road of entertaining offers for Garrett? I think that's probably fluid. Is there a landing spot for Aaron Rodgers? I'm not convinced of it yet.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
I think the reason the Jets are moving on from him is the same reason that our teams may not want to buy in at this point. You're so late in the career. you do have questions about the team orientation of him, uh, with just the way he's always out there.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
And, and so if you look at the teams that could have, uh, uh, you know, it could, isn't Pittsburgh is, is sort of rumored or, you know, people are thinking maybe, uh, the Vikings, that sort of a thing. I don't know. Do those teams feel desperate enough in a one year window to have to do something like that? I don't feel it. So,
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
the odds of him wanting to go a place where he is wanted to me are a little low right now, but we'll see how badly he wants to play too.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
So if we've got 10 salary cap managers together before the Super Bowl, At least half of them would talk about how leveraged the Eagles are. So when you talk about super highly leveraged teams, what we mean is it's kind of what people wish the Cowboys would do more like, hey, take those base salaries down. push things out and give yourself the ability to get more players.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
I'll give you a good contrast. Remember when the Peyton Manning sweepstakes were big when he was coming back from the neck injury in Denver and other teams that shoot Seattle and sent Pete Carroll and John Schneider to a runway in Denver, Arizona or somewhere?
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
But there had been a sort of a ballpark number that had been talked about for him to come to Denver. But then when it came time to do the deal, he was in a position to really leverage that and push for more. He could have gotten more than he ended up getting. And my understanding was that he personally put the brakes on that. He personally didn't maximize.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
He got a good contract, but he was about, well, look, it's about Peyton Manning. Believe me, it was his offense, all of that, but he's about for the betterment of the team. And that allowed them to probably feel better or get other players around him, you know, money-wise and all of that. So I think that's a meaningful contrast. And Rodgers is going to the Hall of Fame in the first five seconds.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
He's eligible. He's amazing. But that orientation is going to work against him in the all-time greats list. I think we could have made a great case for a while there, and still a legitimate case that, hey, he never had the defense and components that Brady or Montana or these other guys had. He was sort of in that Drew Brees bucket. But I felt more bad for Drew Brees.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
you know, with having his defense dismantled after Bounty Gate and all of that, then you feel bad for Rodgers just because of the way Rodgers handles all this. Don't you agree?
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
So like Cleveland is super highly leveraged and they're bad, right? Or Jacksonville has a lot of investments made that didn't work out. So if the Eagles at two and two this last year, when people are wondering about, you know, whether or not Nick Sirianni was going to make it through the year, if they had gone in the tank, this would be a cautionary tale, right?
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
No, I agree with all of that. I think they had this, they had probably a lot of spectacular failures, you know, where, yeah, maybe they weren't the number 32 defense, but they were 22. And then, gave up some amazing players, special teams things. You know, think of that Seattle game that he easily should have won, you know, to go to the Super Bowl, to the championship game, whatever it was.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
And like, you know, they're getting onside kicked and fake, you know, fake field goals. And I mean, it's just, he's been on the sideline for a lot of those losses is what I'm saying, right? He, you know, he maybe he gave them the lead and then they lost it. That happened to him a lot.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
The regrets of Rodgers, related to Rodgers, are all related to the same thing. I think one of the regrets of his latter years in Green Bay was they had this young team, but they were turning everything over to Rodgers. Like, it's his offense, and he was doing sort of his thing. And it made it sometimes... hard on the rest of the team. Does that make sense?
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
Like if you're playing, if you take the best basketball player ever and put him with just some role players, like sometimes when he makes that incredible pass, it just hits him in the face and breaks their glasses, right? You got to... He was playing a different game than some of these guys, I felt like. And then they were indulging him.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
He had earned that, but it wasn't necessarily best for the rest of the roster for what they were doing with their offensive scheme and some of that stuff. And the same thing happened with the Jets. It really became an indulgence of Rodgers.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
Of just pushing it too far and it didn't work, but they didn't. They didn't. I think we forget how tenuous it has felt at times. But you have to give them credit because they are always pushing. And I think one of the things that a front office person pointed out to me a few years ago was, watch what teams do after they win the Super Bowl. Are they still pushing? Is the owner still hungry?
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
Yeah, he probably lost the ability to go super really high, but I think there will still be... Remember this, there's going to be 70% of the...

A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
league had a good grade on darnell's coming out and so they see this and they're like yeah that's the guy that i saw and then it's a need-based thing right if you have a need for a quarterback what's available he's gonna have opportunities i think the question will be uh how good is the fit from his standpoint because he's had i think he's loved this situation with kevin o'connell and he's not just going to go anywhere so to me you know like the raiders are very interesting because pete carroll's a super positive coach like kevin o'connell i think that would be a good welcoming fit i think pete

while he's known for defense, really believes in his ability to win with a lot of quarterbacks and get a lot out of them. All of his quarterbacks have overachieved, whether it's Geno Smith, Russell Wilson, all the way back. Even Drew Bledsoe had his best passer rating or best yards per 10th when Pete was there. People don't really know that because they think of him as a defensive coach.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
But he's had great success with a lot of quarterbacks and probably believes he could do it with Darnold. But to me, if the price were over the top, like I think Pete believes he could do it with a lot of quarterbacks. So that price point, what does Darnold want? Who does he feel good about? Could take the market, you know, take some of the ceiling off of how just exactly how high you go. Cousins.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
That's a hard one to be all in on or excited about just based on where he's at in his career and how it looked this last year. I do think that that can't be Cleveland's solution. They have to have another part of it. They have to have something else, whether it's for the draft. But I could see that as being a place where he's obviously got some familiarity with Stefanski.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
And it could give them something, right? At least something. But it can't be everything. It can just be a piece of it.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
I would do Pennix, yeah. To me, Cousins, well, if they trade him now, they actually save a couple million under the cap, I believe. And if you were to trade him late in the process, which is less likely after June, it would save a ton. I think there could be some talk about who picks up how much of the cash to make that type of a move and who else is involved could be part of it.

A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
And I think Jerry Jones has had his gold jacket for years now, made man. He doesn't even know what they're talking about when the media is talking about that they've had a long drought. Stephen Jones is using air quotes about the drought that we've been talking about for 10 years, right? So that's a nice contrast.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
All right. Yeah. Every, every hint or morsel we get out of Pittsburgh is like, they're not that interested in everything we get from him is I'd love to be there. I think it's just, It doesn't sound like he's going to be the answer for them. And so then who would be the answer for him? I think that Pete Carroll could be an answer for him as a short-term veteran guy.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
You said Pete and Russell got sideways at the end in Seattle, but I don't think that is still sideways. I think there's probably some regrets on both sides about how that went down. And so, you know, now you got Chip Kelly in the mix, too. So that's a little bit unexpected. We maybe thought Darrell Bevel or somebody that had been with Pete before would be there.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
That's a component that I don't know how that affects, you know, whether they'd have any interest or not. But, you know, I think Wilson's stock took a big hit.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
down the stretch it looked it was looking pretty good for a while is if you run the ball and give him a big target to throw down the field too that can be a formula uh to win with and play good defense but you know did unravel a little bit and i think that tells us that he's not really uh he may not even be a full season solution for somebody do you think field stays with pittsburgh then
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
I don't know that either. I think it's too early. We don't know what else they're going to do, what other opportunity there could be for Fields. I think they would be open to that. But again, I don't think he's going to be the starter going in. And he probably isn't going to get a starting job somewhere else. So maybe it's a marriage of convenience that continues.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
I think the Eagles are leveraged out probably more than some other teams, but they've done it with good players. The Browns did it with Deshaun Watson. So the Eagles get credit for getting good players. That's the whole key. Look at the Saints. They're leveraged. They did it with players whose windows were closing or wound up not being good. So it's all about good players, always.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
And then if you get the good players and you're pushing and finding ways to get into more good players or find a way to bring in a Makai Becton, I think that's just good managing, right? You're being aggressive. You're trying.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
How he is widely, widely admired in the league. Uh, now people sometimes think he gets, he gets almost too much of the credit, right? Which I get too, because there's a head coach who managed this whole thing and, and the players and the, and the coaches resistance too. So I think he's earned, uh,

A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
to be mentioned more than a lot of other GMs, because I do feel like he, his fingerprints are more on even putting it out of the staff and things like that, that you would normally associate with others. So I think it's appropriate that he gets, you know, he, he gets love for doing this and putting it together and being probably a driving force.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
I think he has a different energy than some other guys. He's always, he's kind of one of these guys who's frenetic If you picture Howie Roseman in his office, he's probably got like four TVs going all with the sound on and all of them. And he's returning all the texts and emails within five seconds. And he's just active.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
He's just active, and I think that comes from Jeff Lurie, the owner of the team, who, by the way, bought the team in 1994 when it was the Cowboys and the 49ers one-upping each other, signing Dion, and this guy's going back and forth. Ken Norton comes over. That's when the team was bought, and I think they just have this energy to them where they're always doing something.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
They're going to bring in T.O. They're going to trade for A.J. Brown. They're going to go get Saquon, right? That doesn't happen without just, to me, Lurie and Howie kind of being, you know, the guys that are always pushing. So I think he does deserve the credit. And look, when they have the dream team year and it blows up, they get criticized for that, too.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
Two Super Bowls where the head coach wasn't even getting that much of the credit. Doug Peterson was cast off and they did it again with a different group. So I think that's part of why those guys don't deserve more credit. I think that's part of why Howie gets a lot of the credit is because they've done this with moves, some moves other teams wouldn't make. Like, hey, we got Carson Wentz.

The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
Yeah, I think what's interesting about them is they're not a highly leveraged roster like the Eagles are. They did this super long-term deal with Mahomes, and then they're trying to sort of extend the window as long as they can.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
What's been remarkable about the Chiefs is they've been able to win the Super Bowl even in what weren't their best years, where you didn't feel like this was the best Chiefs team or even a historically great team. And this year, most of us, many of us picked the Chiefs to win the game, even though we knew the Eagles were a better team, right? A better roster.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
We just, you just sort of like, well, I mean, they find a way to win these things. They'll do it again. And that didn't happen. And it didn't happen resoundingly. So I do think that the last time this happened, you know, with the Bucs, they went out and made a bunch of moves on their offensive line. You know, they get Orlando Brown, Joe Tooney, they did all these moves.

This to me, I don't think they're going to panic, but this to me is a resounding enough loss that you can't just say, well, you know, we won 23 of our previous 25 before that, even though there's a bunch of nail biters. And remember what Randy Reed said at the podium before the game during the week? He said, asked about that streak of winning the one score games.

You know, people waiting in line to then just be sent to go fill out a form. And it's like, everyone's on edge. I treat the post office like, you know, shit could pop off at any second.

I just don't, the post office is just different for me. But everywhere else, yeah, I think I'm probably just sighing and rolling my eyes. I don't think I'm going to go up to someone and, can you stop what you're doing? I just, it's, that's not a big enough inconvenience for me. It's annoying. You know, stay strapped, bring your headphones and then, you know, just get lost in that. Stay strapped.

So I think that's not as predictive of a stat. It almost tells us what happened for Mahomes, right? And a lot of times time to throw can be controlled by the quarterback. Phillip Rivers could have a fast time to throw because he's going to make a quick decision. He can assess everything quickly. He's a fast processor. The ball's going to come out.
The Ryen Russillo Podcast
A Full NFL Offseason Preview and the Chiefs’ Future With Mike Sando. Plus Tim Legler on the Luka-LeBron Combo, Celtics Worries, and More.
I think Mahomes can be that way, but when you take away their initial stuff while also not allowing the stuff down the field, like people have just put a blanket on them, right? We've seen their air yards and all this stuff has come down and down and down over the years. They're almost to the point now where when it goes bad, we can all visualize what it is. That initial read's not there.

And she pitched basically a new role got it and is now working her way back into getting some commission on the side.

It was just literally the perfect thing. She laid out the plan like you had. They were like, yeah, fuck it. Let's give it a shot. And she excelled in it. And they're bringing it back around. We'd like to be able to sprinkle some commission into the stuff that you're doing now. And it's just all worked out. It was like a total success story.

And it's basically she had the same plan this person has is just like lay out the reasons for this. rather than just saying it's not working out for me. And I think if you do it this way, there probably is a chance that he'll consider you for a sales position. But especially like this guy said, if he's in school part-time, but scraping together everything that he can.

Crown Jewel is not cheap, by the way. Still on fire, real estate-wise. And if you're commission-based, you're basically working for free half the time, right? And no one wins. The company doesn't win, you don't win. I think, yeah, just so you can focus up and get everything...

And he holds it, creates some time, and there's still not anybody open down the field deep, right? They need to get that part resolved so that they can have a little bit more returns when he does hold onto the ball because all of his hold the ball games are losses. Like something like eight of, he doesn't lose any games, right?

He's winning 80% or something, but all of his longest to throw games for him are when he's holding onto it. a long time because he can't find someone open. He runs around, he takes a sack or throws a short pass. So, uh, I don't know if that answers your question, but like usually I'll say this about time to throw. Usually the best scramblers have the longest time to throw. Exactly.

I don't think that having a great offensive line means then that you're going to have a longer time to throw. I don't measure it that way at all. I think usually it's a quarterback. You might not, but I think it gets brought up that way. That's interesting to think of that, yeah, because Russell Wilson creates his own problems by holding onto the ball, whether he's not seeing it or whatever.

And when he was younger and really could move around, the upside was still worth it, right? He would get outside the pocket. great scramble drill. And I, like, I think Lamar has a higher time to throw and I kind of feel okay about it. Like he, he gets out there and he's, he, he makes the throw down the field. I feel like, I feel like it's a, it's a winning gamble for him to do it.

The four seconds for Lamar is the most stressful four seconds of the defense's life. OK, the four seconds of Russell is the most stressful four seconds of Russell's life and his offensive coordinator who's up there dying, going, get rid of the ball, get rid of the ball.

I was so surprised. I guess the odds were shifting right before, and I wasn't really paying attention to it. I did a Kansas City radio show two days before the Super Bowl, three days, and they asked me about that, and I was like, no, Lamar's going to win it because he was the first-team All-Pro. I can't make that make sense in my mind.

I did, though, have an interesting conversation with somebody in the NFL who follows NBA, and they said the same thing happened to Luka. Or not Luka, to Jokic. Luka's in the news. it happened to Jokic where he won two in a row MVPs and then still had a great year, but didn't get it. And the theory was they hadn't won anything in the playoffs. Then they won the championship that year.

And he comes back. I think he got the MVP the next year. So it was like these weird narrative based components that come into these awards and are not the way that I do it. Like, I'm isolating this year. I'm looking at it.

I think voters, I think the fact that Lamar won it before, even last year when he didn't have as great of a year, and that Josh Allen hadn't won it before, I think that's part of the calculus for a lot of the voters. So some of these guys split the votes. They're like, well, I'll give Lamar. Yeah, Lamar probably was the best. I'll give him all pro. But, you know, Josh should win the MVP.

Like, to me, I can't do that. How would you do that?

No, but he hadn't won championships. He hadn't won MVPs before. The theory is you can win a certain number of MVPs, and then if you haven't done it in the playoffs, people aren't going to give it to you. That's sort of the theory.
