00:00It's never too early, Joe, to look at some of these competitors that could win awards.
00:04And we're talking about offensive rookie of the year winner.
00:08These guys haven't played a snap yet in the NFL, but expected to do a lot of damage.
00:11Here's the interesting part.
00:13Jeremiah Love right now is the favorite slightly over Fernando Mendoza.
00:17If you look at Mendoza, we don't know if he's going to be the starting quarterback
00:20because Kirk Cousins is there.
00:22If you had any like, oh, 39-year-old backup that's just there to be a good guy,
00:25that's not what Kirk Cousins is.
00:27He's expecting to be the starter.
00:28I still think Mendoza will be there.
00:31But then I look at Jeremiah Love and say, well, yeah, it makes some sense.
00:34But then I go, Joe, they have two other quality running backs in the backfield.
00:38How many snaps is Jeremiah Love actually going to get in his rookie year?
00:43Yeah, well, that's the question, Donnie.
00:45That's the million-dollar question, right, that you got to figure.
00:47But listen, there is still a very good chance that we see Mendoza for, you know,
00:5314, 15 games, Donnie, this year.
00:56It's very, very possible.
00:58And you would think it kind of feels like if he is the starter within the first,
01:04I don't know, let's say month of the season, then it is his award, I think, there.
01:09I don't know how you back Jeremiah Love when he's got nobody blocking for him.
01:14That's the other problem with Arizona.
01:15So it's kind of hard to look that direction as well.
01:19I think the quarterback has the best opportunity here in Mendoza to actually win that award.
