00:00is there anything to now there is more of a target on this guy

00:04or more pressure on this guy?

00:05I mean, is there anything to that?

00:06I don't think with Brady late in his career in 2017, for instance,

00:08I think he could handle it at that point.

00:10He had won five Super Bowls or whatever it was.

00:12He had been to a million.

00:14But for a younger, in his second year, does that change the calculus,

00:18the stakes, the bullseye, the pressure, any of that?

00:20Yeah, I don't think so.

00:21I don't think Matt Ryan and Cam Newton didn't win the Super Bowl those years

00:27because they were named MVP.

00:29I mean, if Kyle Shanahan doesn't choke away the fourth quarter,

00:34the Falcons win that Super Bowl, right?

00:36Or maybe the Panthers weren't the better team when they played the Broncos.

00:39I don't know.

00:40There was a history of it, and then especially when it didn't happen

00:43for a little while, like, oh, man, this is kind of a peculiar thing.

00:47But I don't know.

00:47Like, in any sport, would you want the MVP or would you not?

00:50Like, yeah, I'll take the MVP.

00:51And then for me, because I think Drake May is on to win it.

00:53But Drake May is also in the bucket of third overall pick,

00:57great deal of expectations on him anyway.

00:59Like, I think you're going to have that, especially if they make the Super Bowl.

01:02Like, look at this year, like how it went from, hey, maybe he can be, like,

01:06a middle-of-the-pack quarterback to, like, oh, he's already a top two

01:08or three quarterback.

01:09So he loses on a couple of votes to finish the second.

01:11There's not going to be, like, less.

01:13Like, the defenses are going to look at him like, oh, he's not even the MVP.

01:16You're going to look at him like, oh, no, this guy had an unbelievable season.

01:18Let's try to humble him anyway.

01:20I think it's fair.

01:22I wanted to win MVP.

01:24I think right now he should be MVP.

01:27I guess I didn't even look this morning.

01:29Stafford played.

01:29He didn't.

01:30Stafford won again.

01:31What did he have yesterday?

01:31Three touchdowns?

01:32I mean, Puka couldn't be stopped yesterday.

01:34Puka was a machine.

01:36Yeah, Stafford, 281, three touchdowns, no picks.

01:39Stafford minus 180, Drake May plus 200.

01:41Okay, so they're like, oh, wow, that's a big shift, actually.

01:44So they're-

01:44Considering Drake May was minus 120, whatever.

01:47Well, he caught up to him in games played, and he's got way more touchdown passes than

01:51he does.

01:52He's on pace for a, like, what, 46 touchdown passes, which will-

01:57Stafford is, which is just to Devontae Adams.

02:00See, pretty much.

02:01Those are just as Devontae Adams' touchdown passes.

02:04So, no, recently-

02:05But if Drake May has a good game against Buffalo, for example, like, that shoots him right back

02:09up there.

02:09That's when he got in the MVP conversation the first time.
