00:03 Picking the quarterback where Mahomes is 15,000 and Purdy is 14,000.
00:07 But Davis, isn't that irrelevant?
00:08 Those prices for the quarterbacks are relevant because whoever wins the game
00:13 in the Super Bowl is gonna be predominantly because of one of these two guys.
00:17 It feels like McCaffrey has to be in a lineup.
00:19 If you use Purdy, you're betting on the 49ers.
00:22 If you use Mahomes, you're probably betting on Kansas City.
00:25 Isn't it that cut and dry at this point?
00:28 Whichever quarterback you pick is you're picking to win the game?
00:31 >> Yeah, I mean, I think ultimately you probably just really wanna be
00:35 correlating these guys with their teammates.
00:37 The interesting thing about Purdy is that he just very rarely goes over his
00:43 attempts number.
00:43 It's kind of one of the things that I was looking at for
00:46 I was looking at for prop betting this season.
00:49 He doesn't go over 31 and a half passing attempts,
00:52 which obviously is his number, all that often.
00:54 He's only gone over that number three times in the entire season,
00:57 which is kind of crazy to get to the Super Bowl and
01:00 have your passing attempt number be something that you have only gotten over
01:03 on three occasions.
01:05 I side with Mahomes in either lineup, one,
01:10 because I think we will see him run a little bit more, as I talked about,
01:13 in my best bet at the end of hour one.
01:15 So I think that you can probably bump up whatever your fantasy point projection for
01:19 him is a little bit.
01:21 But also because of what you said about the winning team being correlated
01:25 towards the quarterback and just thinking through all the permutations.
01:30 If I knew that either quarterback was gonna have, let's call it 42 passing
01:35 attempts, which is a lot for the Super Bowl.
01:36 You're not gonna see guys get that high all that often.
01:39 I'm thinking that the fantasy point expectation for
01:42 Mahomes with those passing attempts is gonna be greater than if Purdy has to get
01:45 into a spot where the 49ers are trying to throw that often.
01:49 And the other thing about not taking Purdy is I can actually see a game win or
01:54 loss for the 49ers where they score effectively on offense.
01:57 And Purdy ends up being the third or fourth highest scoring 49er.
02:01 Cuz obviously Debo can do it as a rusher.
02:03 Kittle can do it on really limited volume.
02:05 I mean, we've actually seen a game this season where George Kittle had three
02:10 targets, three receptions, and three touchdowns, which is going to limit,
02:15 obviously, the total available amount of passing yards that Purdy can have.
02:18 So again, very in-depth here.
02:21 But I think I would ultimately side with Mahomes and
02:24 a couple of his cheaper pass catchers as opposed to trying to get multiple
02:27 really expensive 49ers into one lineup.
