00:00He looks more in control, and I think he has developed.

00:03So I feel okay about the overall development and the trajectory,

00:08and it seems like he's in a way better place in year two.

00:10Maybe that should be self-evident.

00:11You have more experience, more under your belt.

00:13But he seems to be in a better place than he was as a rookie.

00:18So I do feel good about that.

00:19But the turnovers have to get cleaned up.

00:22That said, the two names he gets comped to all the time,

00:25Nick did some research on this.

00:28Nick was doing homework.

00:29Nick Stats and Info.

00:30Yeah.

00:30He came in with a binder.

00:32Yeah, he did.

00:32Well, no pad.

00:33For about 20 years, and it's on page three.

00:35Yeah, well, he had Jurassic Park Trapper Keeper.

00:38He came in with notes ready to go today,

00:40and Nick took it upon himself to look at Josh Allen.

00:43You hear that name all the time.

00:44Not just from callers to sports radio.

00:48MVP of the league.

00:49Okay.

00:50Mike Reese wrote, after week one,

00:52a GM reached out and brought up Josh Allen to Mike Reese, brag.

00:55But he brought up the name Josh Allen.

00:58So people in the league are doing the same comp.

01:00Okay?

01:02Through three games in year two, Josh Allen, I know, was 3-0,

01:05and the Bills were on route to a 10-win season and a playoff appearance.

01:09But what were the numbers through three weeks, Nick?

01:12What did your research tell you?

01:14Drake May has six touchdowns and three turnovers compared to Josh Allen's five touchdowns,

01:20five total touchdowns, five turnovers.

01:23Okay, so hang on.

01:23So one more touchdown for May.

01:25More touchdowns, less turnovers.

01:27And two fewer turnovers through three games compared to Josh Allen.

01:30That is before Josh Allen went to New England and turned the ball over three more times.

01:34So he would have three total touchdowns, or five total touchdowns, and eight turnovers.

01:38He also did fumble in that game.

01:39Didn't lose it.

01:40Well, in that whole season, he fumbled 14 times.

01:44Okay.

01:45Yeah, it's Zooks.

01:46So, I mean, Allen in year two was still turnover prone, inaccurate, making mistakes left and right.

01:55Yeah, he had completed 58% of his passes that year.

01:58Drake May this season is at 72.5 or whatever.

02:00Okay, look, that makes me feel better.

02:02I'll be honest, all of that makes me feel better.

02:04Definitely.

02:04His team won 10 games, and they were in the playoffs.

02:06Yeah.

02:07But that's not the only indication, because Mac Jones won 10 games, but nobody was like,

02:11hell yeah, this is definitely the guy.

02:12No, it's true.

02:13I think in two of those wins, Josh Allen scored like 17 points.

02:16He needed like 17 or 16 points.

02:18No, but even the playoff game that he played in was one of the worst playoff games of all time.

02:22Allen.

02:23Yes.

02:24Oh, yeah.

02:24Remember that one?

02:24Against the Texans?

02:25Is that right?

02:26Yeah.

02:26It wasn't even a game.

02:27Somebody has to win this one.

02:28The guys were like throwing the ball backwards.

02:30It set the game of football back several years.

02:32Okay, let me give you another one that he gets comped to a lot.

02:35Justin Herbert.

02:35Yeah.

02:36Herbert did not make the playoffs.

02:37He won nine games, though, in year two.

02:40He started out with six touchdowns to it looks like three turnovers in the first three weeks

02:47of the year.

02:48So, again, very comparable.

02:49He started 2-1.

02:50Allen started 3-0.

02:52Drake May is 1-2, and it's not like Drake's played a tough schedule.

02:56Uh, no.

02:56Uh.
