Stugotz: Lamar Jackson需要在季后赛证明自己，尽管他很有可能获得MVP。人们过于关注四分卫获得MVP奖项，而忽略了其他优秀球员，例如Saquon Barkley。人们对Lamar Jackson的评价标准一直在变，总是要求他在季后赛表现出色。Ravens队是联盟中运营最好的球队之一，但因为与爱国者队同时代，所以一直被低估。 Greg Cote: Saquon Barkley本赛季的表现配得上MVP，但他的赔率却很低，这很荒谬。Saquon Barkley本赛季的冲球码数和每冲球码数都非常出色，他的贡献不容忽视。老鹰队本赛季表现出色，并且在没有Mahomes的情况下，Saquon Barkley的表现更加突出。Saquon Barkley本赛季表现非凡，如果他最终没有获得MVP，那将是荒谬的。 Tony: 感恩节前的NFL比赛精彩纷呈，值得赞赏。Bryce Young在比赛中表现出色，虽然最终输了，但他的努力值得肯定（像迪士尼电影一样）。Jaden Daniels虽然输了比赛，但他关键时刻的精彩表现值得称赞。Baker Mayfield像Al Horford一样，具备多方面能力，即使球队很差，也能带来积极影响。Caleb Williams虽然输了比赛，但他精彩的表现值得赞扬。Saquon Barkley本赛季表现出色，应该获得MVP。Brock Purdy是49人队的关键球员，他的表现决定了球队的输赢。 Dianna Russini: 老鹰队的进攻实力非常强大，Saquon Barkley的加入进一步提升了球队的实力。巨人队的问题不在于Saquon Barkley的离开，而在于他去了老鹰队。老鹰队的进攻线教练Jeff Stoutland非常出色，能够培养出优秀的球员。巨人队的替补四分卫Tommy DeVito表现不佳。Lane Johnson是老鹰队优秀的进攻截锋，他的表现可以与Trent Williams相提并论。Lane Johnson和Trent Williams都是联盟顶级进攻截锋，各有千秋。喷气机队在拜周的表现不佳，并且围绕Aaron Rodgers的各种传闻甚嚣尘上。喷气机队在赛季初输给青涩四分卫后，引发了球队内部的危机。喷气机队老板Woody Johnson曾建议更换四分卫，但教练组并未采纳。Robert Sala的解雇与Woody Johnson的建议无关。关于Aaron Rodgers的伤病情况存在很多不确定性。喷气机队和Aaron Rodgers都可能想要结束这段合作关系。Aaron Rodgers可能希望继续自己的职业生涯。喷气机队正在寻找新的教练，可能会选择一些过去失败的候选人。喷气机队可能会选择Eric Mangini作为教练。Eric Mangini对重回喷气机队持开放态度。喷气机队目前的混乱局面导致人们对各种猜测都信以为真。当被误解时，保持沉默，让作品证明一切。大多数球队会在赛季结束后再考虑教练人选。如果Aaron Rodgers想继续职业生涯，但不想留在喷气机队，会有很多球队对他感兴趣。Aaron Rodgers需要考虑自己的未来，包括年龄和伤病情况。Aaron Rodgers可能不想以这样的方式结束自己的职业生涯。Stugotz的书是一本值得阅读的好书。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why is Saquon Barkley considered a strong MVP candidate despite low betting odds?

Saquon Barkley is on pace for the greatest statistical season in running back history, with insane yards per carry and high output, making it look easy week in and week out. His performance is exceptional, but he's ranked 14th or 15th in MVP betting odds due to the NFL's bias towards quarterbacks.

Why do some argue that Saquon Barkley should not be the MVP?

Critics argue that the Eagles were already a good team before acquiring Barkley and were a play away from winning a Super Bowl without him. They believe the MVP should go to a quarterback because that position is the most important in sports.

How has Lane Johnson's performance compared to Trent Williams?

Lane Johnson has stats similar to Trent Williams, with no holding penalties and no sacks allowed, making him a beast on the offensive line. Both are considered among the best left tackles in football, though they should be appreciated as individuals rather than compared directly.

What is the current situation with Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets?

Aaron Rodgers is dealing with injuries and has been banged up all season, but there's no formal injury report from the Jets. The team and Rodgers seem ready to move on from each other, with the Jets potentially considering benching him or putting him on IR. The situation is seen as a mutual breakup.

Why is Mike Vrabel not getting head coaching offers during the season?

Most teams prefer to wait until the season ends to make coaching changes, and Vrabel is currently a consultant for the Cleveland Browns, which requires other teams to go through a formal request process during the playoffs or in January.

How many teams might be interested in Aaron Rodgers if he leaves the Jets?

The number of interested teams depends on Rodgers' decision to continue playing and his assessment of his age and injury situation. He likely wants to avoid a disappointing end to his career and might seek a well-run organization for one more season.

Shownotes Transcript

Stugotz is going to be distracted all day as he monitors the sales of his Personal Record Book, but he's not going to apologize for that. That said, he does have the time to tell Lamar Jackson to do it in the playoffs even if he's headed toward winning a MVP. Speaking of MVP, Greg Cote thinks it's a shame Saquon Barkley has such low odds to win the award. Why can't we appreciate great running backs? Then, Tony delivers his Tony's Top 5 from the highest point in all of South Florida: the hill at Tropical Park. Tony touches Barkley and Brock Purdy and somehow celebrates a whole bunch of quarterbacks who lost games over the weekend. Plus, Dianna Russini is here to break down just how good Barkley and the Eagles are, Lane Johnson's impact, a QB who played like a "little chicken," Aaron Rodgers' market for next year, and tell us how she accidentally made Eric Mangini answer questions about coaching the Jets next season. She also offers praise for Stugotz's Personal Record Book and reads her blurb from the back cover.
