00:00Some of these quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson at number 69, Jalen Hurts at 56.
00:07That's where he belonged.
00:09Dak Prescott was above both of Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson.
00:13Jalen Hurts was better than Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.
00:17Now, this is player voted.
00:18Okay, so this isn't media.
00:21This isn't fans.
00:21This is by the players.
00:23What do you think?
00:25I know.
00:26You know, a lot of this is relationships.
00:28A lot of this is relationships, man.
00:31This is what guys like and don't like.
00:33You know, the only thing that really surprised me about this survey is Lamar Jackson.
00:37Lamar Jackson is a multiple-time MVP, and he's cracked the top 10 on this list multiple years in a
00:43row.
00:44And now for him to have had this significant level of fall-off on this list tells me that the
00:50players no longer feel Lamar Jackson.
00:52They don't believe in Lamar Jackson anymore.
00:55Lamar Jackson may not be a game-changer in the eyes of players who put their hands in the dirt.
01:02And this is just the repercussions of Lamar Jackson year after year either coming up short or having some type
01:10of contractual complaint about being on the field.
01:14Now, every little itch or ouch, he don't play when it's about the contract coming up.
01:19And so that might rub some organizations the wrong way.
01:22That might rub some teammates the wrong way.
01:25That might rub some other players the wrong way.
01:27And so the only person on that list that I really looked at and was like, wow, that's crazy, was
01:32Lamar Jackson.
01:33Jackson Smith Jigba being that high up.
01:36Yeah, the guy just won the Super Bowl.
01:39I don't know.
01:40I don't know.
01:40Him being above Pukinac.
01:42And he was awesome.
01:43Like, it's not like he was just the best receiver on the team.
01:46He was literally one of the best receivers in the league.
01:48He was.
01:49And also, guys like Pukinacua, they get – I'm not going to say they get cut down, but having Sean
01:55McVeer as your coach, it helps you on the field.
01:58And having Matthew Stafford throw to you.
02:01Yeah.
02:03Sam Darnold and Matthew Stafford.
02:05Like, Sam Darnold – this is kind of a knock on Sam Darnold, but Matthew Stafford's better than Sam Darnold
02:11by far.
02:13Yes.
02:14So.
02:15Yes.
02:16And also, John, John, I was going to ask you about – because as we have on the screen here,
02:21Lamar Jackson was number two last year, and he dropped 67 spots to number 69.
02:26This is voted by – again, I have to reiterate, this is voted by the players.
02:30This is the media being like, well, he didn't play well last year, and the Ravens weren't good, so I'm
02:34going to move him down.
02:34This is a players that he plays against saying that he wasn't – he dropped 67 spots.
02:39It's crazy.
02:41Again, to me, if Miles Garrett isn't number one on this list, it's irrelevant anyway.
02:47Like, I – if Miles Garrett is not number one on this list, a lot of these lists are, you
02:53know, clickbait most of the time.
02:57And when you drop Lamar – again, because the player said this, I think this is this – this is
03:02confirmation of Lamar Jackson's fall-off within locker rooms.
03:07Okay, guys were terrified of Lamar Jackson.
03:10This is why he was two, and I think the year before that, he was one.
03:13If he wasn't one, he was top five, like, two years in a row.
03:16And so, the idea that now he's falling to 69, it's not an accident.
03:20It's Lamar Jackson's lack of being – Lamar Jackson's availability, and when he's on the field, his ability.
03:27Last year, he did not want to run the ball.
03:30And because he didn't want to run the ball, it really kneecapped the Ravens' offense.
03:35And so, again, the Lamar Jackson portion of this doesn't surprise me.
03:41I'm surprised that it's that low, but there are other guys on this list where I look at it.
03:46And again, if Miles Garrett is number one, I don't care about the list.
03:51Yeah, the top five hasn't been released as of recording this.
03:54So, we have Patrick Sertan II at number 10.
03:59We have Jameer Gibbs at nine.
04:01Micah Parsons is at eight.
04:03Puka is at seven.
04:04Christian McCaffrey is at six, and JSN is at five.
04:08And this is what I'm saying.
04:09Micah Parsons is at eight.
04:12How?
04:14You're not a Micah Parsons kid.
04:16How?
04:17He didn't play enough to be eight.
04:20Like, what are we talking about?
04:22Yeah, like, how are we ranking this?
04:23Are we ranking this on – Josh, who's going to come on to our show, he was like,
04:28well, is it based off last year?
04:31Is this, like, just how good you are in general?
04:33Like, are you just a top 100 player in total?
04:36Foolishly.
04:37This is – again, when we talk about these lists, if you're going to tell me that you
04:44– that you see Micah Parsons as a top 10 – again, this is players voted.
04:48If you see Micah Parsons as a top 10 player and he wasn't even on the field, this is relationships.
04:54This is guys liking other guys.
04:56And out of that like, it's respect.
04:58So, they're not going to ding him because guys like him.
05:01I don't see how Jalen Hurts is where he is because nobody appears to like him.
