00:00All right, so I feel like they are kind of in lockstep.

00:05I feel like if he has a good year and if the numbers are good,

00:09hard to do that and not win a lot of games.

00:11But whatever, for the sake of this argument, let's just say,

00:14I mean, we were looking at the over-unders as a place to start.

00:17It was like 19.5 touchdowns, 3,250 yards passing.

00:21I feel like –

00:22In a vacuum, those are low to me.

00:23I feel like he's going to be over both.

00:25If they win 10 games, I won't care.

00:26Yeah, yeah.

00:27But if you're telling me those are the numbers

00:29and that's what you're reading from DraftKings, those to me are low.

00:32I would say, yeah, command of the offense definitely has to be there.

00:36I think 2-1 touchdown to pick is realistic.

00:40You'd like it even better in modern NFL.

00:43But if he's 20 touchdowns, 10 picks, he can't do that.

00:4722 touchdowns, 11 picks, somewhere in there.

00:49I think that would be pretty good.

00:51And then also with him just playing all 17 games,

00:55that's a good place to start.

00:56After he gets banged up in a couple games last year.

00:58That's a major one.

00:59And it correlates to what I was just going to ask.

01:00Do you want him to run?

01:01Yes.

01:02Oh, yeah, definitely.

01:03I think it's one of the things that he does well.

01:05I think a lot of quarterbacks around the league do run.

01:10I mean, the two – you could argue Mahomes is the best.

01:12Put Mahomes to the side.

01:13But the two best seasons last year were Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.

01:18Those guys run.

01:19They're smart about how they run.

01:20They both run.

01:21They have designed runs, but they'll also take off and scramble,

01:23which is really what Mahomes does.

01:25Right, and they both – those two guys could run more.

01:27Yeah.

01:27But I think they also are great passers,

01:29and they know that they've got to try to – you know,

01:31they're looking at longevity, too.

01:33But there's a lot of quarterbacks around the league that can use their legs.

01:38Patriots, certainly with, you know,

01:39Mack Jones and Jacoby Brissett didn't have those guys.

01:42So now you do.

01:42That is one of the things that's going to make him –

01:45if he ends up being a top-10 quarterback,

01:47which is what we're all hoping for,

01:49I think you're going to look back at the end of the year and be like,

01:51oh, he had 600 yards rushing and five rushing touchdowns or whatever.

01:55Like, yeah, I think that's going to have to be a part of it.

01:56Yeah, I want to see design runs.

01:58And, you know,

01:59Josh McDaniels didn't do a lot of that with Mack Jones when he was here.

02:02Don't blame him.

02:03Don't blame him.

02:04With Cam, they did a ton of it.

02:05Oh, yeah, they did.

02:05I mean, maybe too much.

02:06And, you know, I thought Josh Allen coming out,

02:08his comp was Cam.

02:10And now Drake May is being comped to Josh Allen.

02:13And I'm talking, like, MVP, not Patriots Cam Newton,

02:15but MVP-level Carolina Panthers Cam Newton.

02:18I thought that was a good comp for Josh Allen when he came out.

02:21I don't think it's a terrible comp for Drake May as a runner,

02:24as a big physical runner.

02:26I want to see design runs.

02:27I hope they do it,

02:28but that does potentially put him in harm's way.
