00:00It's a really interesting question. We've done a few segments on this, and every time
00:04we sort of end up landing on neighbors and Knicks, not even because, well, in Knicks'
00:09case, it's because he's, like, he's a Giants fan too, but he loves neighbors. He thinks
00:12neighbors is going to be awesome. But it's also just, you have these two buckets, right?
00:17You have all the quarterbacks and you have all the receivers, whose price just doesn't
00:22make that much sense versus their peers, when we know so little about how this is going
00:26to go. Like, Caleb is being viewed as so much more likely than the other quarterbacks.
00:31I'm always going to be really, really, really, really cynical and, you know, sort of always
00:39want to push back against those kind of opinions when we have no evidence whatsoever yet. I'm
00:43playing snap yet. And so Bo Knicks would be the only one I'd look at only because, and
00:47this would be true, by the way, if Bo Knicks was 6-1 and Jaden Daniels was 18-1, I would
00:52be doing this exact same segment talking about Jaden Daniels. So this isn't, whoever's
00:57in that slot, like a forgotten quarterback X, who's going to start Week 1 probably, and
01:02I know Knicks hasn't been named the Week 1 starter, but he played a lot in Week 1 and
01:06he's going to start Week 2. We've had people on the show who have, like, who know, who
01:10kind of intimate that Knicks is probably going to start Week 1. That's, like, what everybody
01:13expects to happen. Doesn't mean he has to, but just, I'm preparing for him to start Week
01:171. That's my expectation. Now, if he didn't, his chances of winning the award go way down,
01:21and we know Daniels is going to start Week 1. We know Caleb's going to start Week 1.
01:24So that's part of where the price discrepancy comes from. But, you know, just a quarterback
01:29and a Sean Payton offense who's going to start Week 1 probably at 18 versus a guy who's even
01:35money who plays for Chicago. I mean, it just, it's, it's just too big of a difference for
01:39me. So it doesn't have to be that Knicks is amazing, Peach, but we always seem to land
01:43on both neighbors and Knicks. And for me, it's, like, not even about them. It's just
01:47kind of what they represent, which is same position in a super volatile, no-nothing market,
01:54ton of usage for both versus the guys they're rated against, too. Like, they'll be used
01:57just as much. They have the chance to be just as good as the other guys, and their price
02:01is just way more. So I don't even love Knicks, but I love that concept. I love playing the
02:05quarterback with that kind of a price versus a guy like Caleb or a guy like Daniels, even
02:09if both of them are good, too.
