00:02 Three quarterbacks, Joe P,
00:04 taking the top four of the 2023 NFL Draft back in late April.
00:09 Young first overall to Carolina, CJ Stroud second overall to Houston,
00:13 Anthony Richardson, fourth overall to Indianapolis.
00:17 Officially at this point, both Bryce and
00:20 AR have been named starters for week number one of the regular season.
00:25 We expect CJ Stroud to do that for the Houston Texans as well.
00:29 Although no official word just yet on the regular season.
00:34 As we look, Joe P, at the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award odds,
00:39 a quarterback is not a favorite.
00:41 It's B. John Robinson, the running back who is expected to do it all offensively
00:45 for Atlanta on three to one.
00:47 And really, that makes sense because over the past decade,
00:50 only three quarterbacks have won Offensive Rookie of the Year.
00:55 Often, Joe P, if a QB can win a football award, they do.
01:00 So how does a quarterback end up with the Offensive Rookie of the Year award?
01:06 >> And I believe I can name them, Justin Herbert,
01:09 Kyler Murray and Dak Prescott, I wanna say.
01:12 >> Bang.
01:12 >> Boom, look at that.
01:15 That's why I get the big bucks, baby.
01:17 But yeah, look, this is true.
01:19 It's funny, you would think it's more of a quarterback award than it is.
01:22 Even with all these rookie quarterbacks coming in and
01:24 starting from the jump nowadays in the NFL.
01:27 The last ten years, it is only 30% of the time.
01:30 So to me, it's still B.
01:31 John Robinson's award to lose.
01:33 I'm still invested personally in B.
01:34 John Robinson.
01:36 My heart, my soul, my finances, it's all invested in the fantasy.
01:39 Everything's invested there.
01:40 And the three to one, you're still getting in spots like FanDuel.
01:43 Some other books have already moved it to plus 275.
01:45 I see on Betting Pro, some of you are in lower than that right now.
01:48 So get in while the getting's good.
01:49 Now, you can write a script for Bryce Young, I think,
01:51 better than any of the other two quarterbacks to really go through and
01:54 possibly make the playoffs in a weak South division there in the NFC,
01:58 especially the NFC having some issues to begin with.
02:01 It is in the range of outcomes, but if you're looking for a fun long shot,
02:04 I would be pointing to that fellow named Zay Flowers at plus 2,600 on that board
02:08 that you had.
02:09 And the reason why is, I think he is already the number one receiver
02:13 in this grouping.
02:15 Rashad Bateman has had trouble staying on the field.
02:17 Odell Beckham, older, coming off knee surgery.
02:19 Zay Flowers is that dude.
02:21 Plus 2,600, at the very least, I think this number shrinks considerably by
02:25 the time you get to week 10, week 11.
02:27 So in spots where you can cash out of it,
02:28 you might be able to even make some money regardless.
02:30 But I would say that's the long shot.
02:32 Bijon's the favorite.
02:33 The quarterback's in the middle.
02:35 It's just a tough sell for me because I don't see any of those three really having
02:38 a transcendent season the way Herbert did a few years ago.
02:42 I mean, Herbert and Murray,
02:44 those guys really did kind of take the league by storm in their rookie year.
02:46 I don't know if any of these three are set up for that kind of success in 2023.
