00:00Is Lamar fully invested 110% of the time?
00:03Does he have to be?
00:04No, with his athletic ability,
00:06and you know, he can just kind of show up sometimes,
00:10I think, and steal a game for you,
00:12because he's just that damn gifted.
00:15But there are times where you look and go,
00:17Lamar, are you really engaged in this right now?
00:21And granted, it's the first week of training camp.
00:23That might be too far to go,
00:26based on, eh, I didn't feel like practicing
00:28the first couple of days,
00:29and I'm kind of bored after this first hour of practice.
00:32I think I'm gonna go sit down in the AC.
00:34It's kind of hot out here, okay?
00:36Oh yeah, I don't feel good.
00:37I don't know.
00:38That part of it, for me,
00:39is always just a bit off with Lamar.
00:42Like, man, I know you're talented enough
00:46to be as good as Mahomes and Allen.
00:50I know it's in there,
00:51but there are times where he just,
00:54I don't know, doesn't step on the gas.
00:57Yeah, I'm concerned about him being sick all the time,
01:02and maybe it's just something you've gotta deal with.
01:04Like, honestly, it feels like we're talking about this
01:08three, four times a year,
01:09and now we're talking about the start of training camp.
01:11But it's July.
01:12Like, I'm not really worried about it.
01:14And without him, they have nothing.
01:16That's the scary part if you're Baltimore.
01:19If you remove Lamar Jackson
01:21and put an average NFL quarterback,
01:23where are they in this league?
01:26And how they're gonna have to replace guys,
01:29I think that's legit, too.
01:32Derrick Henry Peets is gonna be good,
01:34but I'm not worried about whether or not Lamar's engaged.
01:37Look, if Lamar wins the MVP this year,
01:39which, by the way, is very possible,
01:42he's 15 to one.
01:44Hold on.
01:44We've got some sportsbooks
01:46putting a shorter number on Jordan Love
01:49than Lamar Jackson to win the MVP.
01:51I know it's hard to do back-to-back,
01:53but we just saw Aaron Rodgers do it.
01:56If he were to win his third MVP in six years,
02:00know how many times that's been done?
02:02Twice.
02:04Twice.
02:05It's, it was Brady?
02:07Nope.
02:08Has Mahomes done it?
02:09Nope.
02:10It's Peyton Manning and Brett Favre.
02:12That's the list.
02:14So, I mean, he is very close to being in rare air here.
02:20Sometimes I feel like we're a little too hard on Lamar
02:22for everything he's accomplished.
02:24And part of that is the playoffs.
02:26Yes.
02:27We need more than the playoffs.
02:2810 points against the Chiefs.
02:30Yeah.
