After listening, @Pooshdaddy are you still hoping Shanny can lure Brady out of retirement?

The Bills takes on the TrapDraw continue to be what I would expect from drive time radio callers smh
One is a toss up for best QB in the league and the other had a major regression.
Edit: Forgot Allen was playing through a UCL sprain (minor tear? Idk dude isnāt getting surgery at least) since week 9!

If weāre going to get together and shit on BBWAA, Iām way in on that. But yeah, Iām a small Hall truther. If you canāt convince 90% of your contemporary peers that youāre worthy of being in the Hall, I donāt think you should be there. And if the people voting canāt be unbiased about who gets in, then what does it matter anyway? It should be very obvious who the guys that belong in the Hall are - guys that a casual fan would know. I donāt think a casual fan has any clue who Scott Rolen is.
Brutal episode for QB takes. Starting to think Tron and Randy donāt know ball!

Discussing QB rankings by DVOA but somehow where Joey B ends up is never discussed

Looked it up, 2B is tied for the lowest number of MVPās won at a position. I donāt think 2B are really knocking down the door at Top 5 MVP votes.
1B - 37
RF - 29
LF - 24
SP - 21
CF - 21
3B - 19
C - 18
2B - 16
SS - 16
RP - 4
DH - 1 (asterisk, this is Shohei lol)
I prefer looking at HoF induction criteria as who was the best at their position in their era, and let those guys in. Otherwise, the BBWAA will continue gate keeping the HOF and alienate entire generations of fans and their favorite players. And that sucks.
And donāt get me started on comparing modern players to Babe Ruthās fat ass. His heart would give out the second he saw a Degrom fastball or Emmanuel Clase cutter.

Nobody loves the Trap Draw more than me. Legitimately have listened to every episode, some several times.
Letās retire the NFL podcasts.

They arent convincing their peers though. Theyre convincing writers. A lot who stopped covering baseball a while ago and are weirdo hardon gatekeepers. The whole I wont vote for him on the first ballot but will on the second ballot type people, and worse!

That was a great conversation. The BBHOF is getting too big in my opinion. Let Rose and the steroid guys in, and I think that could change long term. Feels like guys are getting in so that someone can get in. I read the other day that Chase Utley will have a good chance of getting in. Thatās a no for me dawg, and I saw him play in person a ton during his prime. He missed too many games. Guys like that and Rolen make me think my favorite player not in the HOFāKenny Loftonāshould get in. And while my heart wants to see it, my brain knows heās a āno.ā

Yeah, but Scott Rolen was fucking awesome in MVP Baseball 2005.
Fuck Pete Rose. Iām OK with letting him in after he dies. Steroid guys should definitely be in though.
Perhaps they can just induct him as Jon Dowd; then everyone wins.

Major, really?
Did Burrow āregressā or did the offensive approach and scheme change in general, admittedly part of defenses adjusting to the offense, which led to lower AY/A? Because thatās about the only āregressionā there was.
Still top of the league in completion percentage, top 5 in TD%, lower INT % than Allen. Allen with 13 (lost 8) fumbles compared to Burrowās 6 (lost 5).
No doubt Allen is the better athlete and more trait-y. But heās a higher variance player, and if anyone has shown āregressionā itās been Allen, since his 2020 peak.
Weāre mostly splitting hairs over whoās 2 or 3, which is a nice place to be as fans. On a given day Iām willing to give it to either guy, Iām not as definitive in it as Randy is.
