really root for you to take home coach of the year. Yep. No reason. Certainly. So you guys were talking about this. No financial reasons. Yeah. You guys are doing real well in life. So Mike Rabel's up for a coach of the year amongst, I mean, it makes sense, right? You've had injuries on the team and managed to turn in the number one record in the AFC. And you guys, you guys were.

14:10 ↗

having issues with me saying that Zach Taylor should or could win this award. Well, yeah. I mean, like, come on. It's regular season, right? Now I don't know if I believe that you were as convicted as you sounded earlier. Well, I'm just, I just really want him to win. I think he should win. Look, Zach Taylor obviously has been a fine coach. They're in the Super Bowl. They went 10 and 7. They won their division. I would vote for him. You would vote for him over. Over Vrable, I would. Over the number one seed? Absolutely.

14:40 ↗

One of them has Joe Burrow and one of them has Ryan Tannahill. Yeah, but one of them was a four-win team last year. And so I think the turnaround is what people reward oftentimes in Coach of the Year, is the turnaround. So I would give it to the turnaround versus a team that everyone expected to win their division and be good. Just because he did it with some hardship. They expected it with Derek Henry. Look, convincing me is not going to win you money, all right? But what if it did? Do you have a vote? Yes. Oh, that's a very good question.

15:11 ↗

Look, if anyone has a vote down that road, Pete Rose cannot be a part of this show. I mean, I don't. Anyways, that's just my viewpoint. I just think he deserves it. In the end, though, all jokes aside, Mike Vrable is a phenomenal coach. He's one of my favorite, if not my favorite coach in the league right now. And he deserved this contract extension. He's great. Dennis Allen is the new head coach of the Norland Saints. Good luck. Defensive coordinator. You'll need it.

15:40 ↗

Oh, no. Not bullish on the future of the Saints, Mike. No. No. Speaking of which, Alvin Camara scheduled to make his first appearance in court March 8th following his arrest on Sunday. I had read some legal overview of this situation. I shared it with you guys. I had more details on actually what took place. There was somebody, a victim that had a broken orbital bone. It took a while to file charges. It's not great.

16:10 ↗

Actually, I want to correct that. I don't believe there's charges filed. There is an investigation as to whether charges should be filed in the event. So we don't really know if there will be any legal fallout whatsoever for the Camara situation. It's just making headlines, and it's probably furthering the opinion that Mike has that it may be rough on the Saints next year. Yep. Robert Woods rehabbing from surgery has an eye towards returning from minicamp. That's great. Did you guys see the video of him in Cooper Cup? Yeah, so good. What are they doing?

16:39 ↗

Are they bro-in down? It was a full bro-down. Oh, baby. It would have thrown any, it would have thrown some severe doubt on the fact that they don't have breakfast together the same way that Stafford and Cup have breakfast together because it was touching. You got to go watch it. Okay. Because Woods obviously has missed this Super Bowl run. And it was, they were hugging and talking after the game. And it was like family, man. It was.

17:04 ↗

It was what... All right. You wanted to watch something that makes you believe in the power of football. Sure. In sports? In sports. Yeah. Humanity. Friendship. Yeah. It was awesome. It's a ship that can't sink. Thank you, Mike. Yeah. Any other news, Brooks, that is broken during the last five minutes? No, sir. All right. How you doing, Al? Are you doing all right back there? I'm doing great.

17:28 ↗

Yeah. You got any skin in the Mike Vrable for Coach of the Year game? Whoa. So these guys got in on some bets while I was out sick and I didn't get any DMs. So no. You're mad about it. Yeah. That is so Al. Al is like... Nobody makes money without me. That's right. We need to examine this with a professional. Lose money. People can lose money without them all they want. You do like being part of the action. Can I say that? That's accurate.

17:59 ↗

Yeah. Yeah. You could say that. It's hard. It's hard when other people are doing stuff that seems exciting. We all have the great conviction. Oh, I don't need that in my life. Oh, he's doing it. Oh, that looks fun. Oh, you want how much? Oh, what's that line? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And we'll move on. Let's talk mailbag. Mailbag. Mailbag. Yeah. I'm in an off-season mood.

18:32 ↗

It's a mailbag show. It's loose. Yeah. Yeah. We've got voicemails, Brooksie. We've got one. Voice mail. We've got voice. Voice mail. Hey, football. There's a question for you. I have Justin Jefferson, and I'm trying to acquire Trey Lance. Guy is offering Trey Lance straight up for Justin Jefferson, wondering if I should take him. I already have Joe Burroughs, Zach Wilson, as my QVs and a two QV's Superflex dynasty. Thanks. Love the show.

19:02 ↗

Yeah, I mean, I had to assume it was a two-quarterback. Sure. But I'm not trading Justin Jefferson for Tray Lance. No, don't get crazy just because of the two-quarterback. One of these players is locked in as one of the best players at their position. Great for fantasy. Yeah, quarterbacks are more important in a two-quarterback league. But Tray Lance is a giant question mark. You don't trade someone like...

19:28 ↗

Justin Jefferson for Trey Lance at all, no way. No, as, you know, as strongly as I believe in the fantasy football future of Trey Lance here for the next few years, if I were in a two quarterback league, I would happily trade him for Justin Jefferson. Yeah. I would trade him. I'd like to do that in a single quarterback league, too. Yeah, all the intangibles. If anyone wants to do that. And the opportunity for Lance will be there next year, but there is far from a guarantee that he.

19:57 ↗

is going to be a long-term quarterback locked in, you know, even a player that has relative success like Carson Wins. You look at, you know, you put this situation in place with the career Carson Wins has had. You wouldn't do that deal. No. And Carson Wins had an MVP caliber season in his repertoire. So in his resume, I mean. So let's, let's move on here. Twitter question from Andrew.

20:25 ↗

How do you feel about point per completion for quarterbacks as a way of sort of offsetting broken quarterback rushing scoring? Interesting. I've always thought that was I've kind of liked it. Yeah. We do a half per completion. We do like 0.1. We do a 0.1 per completion in our league of record. And it would offset. It does bring some balance like guys like like just completion specials like Drew Breeze where, you know, he's always completing a high percentage of his passes.

20:55 ↗

But one thing you knew for sure about Drew Brees is he was never going to run for more than three yards. And it gave him a bit of a boost to compete with those rushing quarterbacks. I don't know if you can pull this up, Jason. Maybe do this while we're doing the show. Give me the average completions for Lamar Jackson on a game. The average completion. Sure. Let's just do this here. And then I want to know the average completions for.

21:24 ↗

So Lamar Jackson averaged 20.5 completions per game. Okay. Give me a pocket passer that would be compared. Is it Matt Ryan? Oh, man. That's a problem. Michael Keith. I didn't say Matthew Stafford, maybe? Well, Matt Ryan, he was at 22.1. Okay. Give me somebody better. It's somebody with higher volume. Well, I'm just thinking. Brady would be the. Sure.

21:52 ↗

Brady would be the one to really compare the non-mobile but high completions. He was 28 and a half. See, that's perfect because that's an extra eight, right? So that'd be 80 yards rushing. So if Lamar completes 20, that's a lot. If Lamar completes 20 passes and runs for 80 yards and Brady completes 28 passes, that's equivalent then points wise, right? I think the point is too much. I agree. Yeah, okay, so a half. Yeah, but...

22:18 ↗

It could be even fewer. Quarter point per completion. I'll go zero. I really like zero. Look, he already gets the yards. It's not broken. I don't mind it. I think it's a good balancing act there. You reward something that's very tangible in the game, a completion, and I'd be down with that. Or you just changes the rushing. I don't like changing the rushing to not reflect running as a running back. But it's just funny that you would like,

22:48 ↗

We're putting these band-aids on something where you're like, you could just, you could treat the cause. Okay. First of all, I think everything's fine as it is. That's fair. So I don't need to fix anything. I'm just trying to help you guys out with your problem. All right. That's a really heavy emphasis there. Today's a day. I had a rice crispy treat, like a full one at lunch. I'm a little. You're wired. I'm a little. You're going wild.

23:19 ↗

From a rice crispy treat? I'm telling you, today feels special. All right, let's keep it going. Anybody else have dessert at lunch? Am I the only one? That's why I'm on a different wavelength. Desert's great, though. I'm a huge fan of dessert. That's it. That's the whole end of the sentence.

23:41 ↗
