Okay... Way too early, but will Drake Maye be an #MVP candidate next season? #SuperBowl losers often struggle the following year... But can Maye change the trend, and have the same kind of 2025 success? What do you think?
Transcript
00:00Is Drake May going to be an MVP candidate again next season, Cheyenne?
00:05I would say probably, but I wouldn't, like, lock it in stone next season.
00:10I think in the future, absolutely.
00:11Yeah, no, I'm just talking about next season.
00:13Probably not, because I think Curtis made a good point yesterday.
00:16Normally, teams that lose in the Super Bowl tend to struggle that following season.
00:21Not the Eagles.
00:22Actually, they did.
00:24No, didn't they lose it and then come back and win the next year?
00:28No, they lost to the Chiefs.
00:31Then the next season, they started 10-1 and then lost eight straight games,
00:35got bounced by Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
00:38Then they came back and won it.
00:40And then this year again, it was a disaster of a year for them.
00:45It was constantly like, what is going on with this Eagles team?
00:47And they got bounced early in the playoffs again.
00:50The stat isn't that they won't win again.
00:52It's the immediate season after losing the Super Bowl where teams struggle.
00:56Correct, yeah.
00:56And so, like, I wouldn't be shocked if the Patriots go 10-7 next season,
01:01make the playoffs, but like losing the first round to, I don't know, Buffalo or whoever.
01:06That's a disappointment.
01:07I agree.
01:08I'm not saying I wouldn't be disappointed, but I wouldn't be shocked if that's what happened.
01:11Because you have, or we all believe, you have, Greg, you asked the question,
01:18a quarterback that whether he's in the top two or the top three when it comes to MVP voting,
01:26we expect, all right, he's going to be right in the mix again, right?
01:30Right, right.
01:30All right.
01:31Isn't that our expectation for him?
01:33It's mine.
01:33And so, to get bounced in the first round after you went to a Super Bowl,
01:39I'm not saying you have to get back to the Super Bowl,
01:41but my expectations are you should be one of the teams that people expect you to be in the AFC
01:47Championship game.
01:47And if you don't get there, that's a disappointment.
01:49I thought of this last night, and I don't have statistical data, just more of an observation,
01:54as it pertains to quarterbacks that are either 1 or 1A with running the football on their own,
02:01like the Josh Allens, Lamar Jackson, how Drake May in the regular season was able to so effectively run
02:07as well as pass, that struggle in the postseason.
02:10And I wonder if by the end of the season, you are even more dinged than you would be if
02:16you were just a pocket passer.
02:18And that's part of the reason why you have Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and obviously Drake Mays in year one.
02:23But Mahomes really has shifted how he has played since they started winning championships.
02:28He runs sparingly.
02:31And maybe that's how...
02:31I mean, he was the team's leading rusher.
02:33Yeah, he was.
02:34For a lot of points last season and this season.
02:35Yeah, I think he rushed for maybe close to 500 yards.
02:37I think that that has a lot more to do with the running back than it does for him.
02:41But the reality that I see in watching guys play at that position, that run as much as they do,
02:45I wonder if we're going to tilt back towards the more pocket approach because you're not the same guy in
02:51the Super Bowl.
02:51Well, Drake May had the most yards rushing by a quarterback in the league this year.
02:55Am I correct about that?
02:56Right.
02:57And then he was dinged at the end.
02:58Yeah.
02:59And he probably had at least one concussion.
03:03Yeah.
03:04I think he had one in that preseason game against the Vikings when he hit the turf.
03:07Yeah.
03:08But yeah, I just...
03:09I mean, obviously, I don't have empirical data to say, you know, this is what happens.
03:13See, the problem is, Curtis, with that mindset or that take, here's where the problem becomes.
03:18The mobile quarterback or the quarterback has the ability to get out, extend plays, off-script plays.
03:24We talk about those guys all the time.
03:26The reason why you'll never go back to the pocket passer is because in college and high school,
03:32those are the guys that they're leaning towards when it comes to playing quarterback.
03:38When I was playing, it was the pocket passer.
03:40You can get away with it.
03:41But now, if you're a pocket passer in today's game in high school, you're not going very far.
03:45And for reference, there were four quarterbacks ahead of Drake May this year.
03:49Oh, there were?
03:49Jackson Dart, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen.
03:52How many yards?
03:52How many yards, Jackson Dart?
03:54Jackson Dart had 487.
03:56Okay.
03:57I'm sorry, three.
03:58So it was three.
03:58Jackson Dart, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen were the three quarterbacks ahead of Drake May.
04:02Justin Herbert is 0-3 in the playoffs.
04:04Josh Allen has never gotten to a Super Bowl.
04:06Lamar Jackson has never gotten to a Super Bowl.
04:09I don't know.
04:09When was the last time you've seen a pocket?
04:11I mean, Mahomes had, what, 20 less yards than Drake May this year?
04:15Matthew Stafford, pocket passer, won a Super Bowl.
04:17Right.
04:17But I mean, those are-
04:19Joe Burrow was in that Super Bowl.
04:20He's a pocket passer.
04:21But those are a rarity nowadays.
04:22You know what I mean?
04:23It's more of the guys that are in and winning Super Bowls are Mahomes, Jalen Hurts.
04:30You're starting to see Tom Brady.
04:34Who else won in recent years, won Super Bowls?
04:37Sam Darnold, big runner.
04:38It's really just been like Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford, and Jalen Hurts.
04:42Yeah.
04:42So there you go.
04:43But even like Jaden Daniels was in an NFC Championship game last year.
04:45Yeah.
04:46He's a runner.
04:47This is John from Peabody.
04:49What's up, John?
04:51How you doing, Mr. Hill?
04:53Great.
04:54I just want to say, I want to say, the first time I called, I get nervous because I forget.
04:58But when the sports talk left EI and you came on, I was disappointed until the first day
05:04I heard you.
05:05And I never miss your show.
05:07Oh.
05:07The show's fabulous.
05:08That's so nice.
05:09John, thank you.
05:11Wiggins is my favorite, not just because he won a Super Bowl, but because I grew up in
05:15East Boston.
05:15And he talks like me.
05:17Yes, he did.
05:17So that's why I like Wiggins.
05:20And then I just wanted to wish Courtney luck.
05:22She once said Sydney Sweeney was the it girl, but there is another it girl, and it's her.
05:28Oh.
05:28That's so nice, John.
05:30Take that, Sydney.
05:31Oh, John, that's so nice.
05:32Everything she does.
05:34So good luck with the baby, and I'll always listen to all four hours.
05:37No matter where I am.
05:39You don't have to miss her when she's gone because you can access her nest cameras while
05:46you're at home.
05:47While she's nesting.
05:49While she's nesting, so don't worry about it.
05:52Like, Courtney's putting some sort of a baby cam up.
05:55Like, I don't think I would ever do that.
05:57Everybody, like a Nanette, that is like, that is the number one thing to get when you have
06:01a baby so that it's over the crib and you can make sure that the baby's okay throughout
06:06the night when they're napping.
06:07But then you got some weirdo at Nanette who's watching your baby sleep.
06:11Greg, everybody with a kid has a camera on their kid in his bed or his crib.
06:16Well, we didn't used to have them, and both of my kids have turned out extraordinary.
06:20No, you had a baby monitor, correct?
06:21Where they just made noise?
06:23Yeah, and just listened to it.
06:23Yeah, that's what we have.
06:24Yeah.
06:25You didn't have a camera, Curtis?
06:26We have a camera.
06:27Oh, yeah, yeah.
06:28Well, that was technology moving in the right direction.
06:31Now I can make sure that he's breathing.
06:34Right.
06:35Or did you get those socks that, like, do the...
06:37Is that what you're talking about?
06:38Yeah, but we didn't jump onto that train because I think that might be too much information.
06:42You can also get, like, the funny clips of the kids, like, singing to themselves
06:45in the crib.
06:46Right.
06:46And we all had cameras.
06:48Like, cameras have been around, especially for houses, you know, for a long time.
06:5215, 20 years.
06:54Everybody, you know, I bet when you lived in Stowe, you had some cameras at your crib.
06:57Nope.
06:58Did you have the internet?
06:59No cameras at the crib in Stowe.
07:01All right.
07:02And we never called it the crib in Stowe.
07:05No offense.
07:05All right.
