Pick a QB for the next 5 years: Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson & More | CBS Sports

♪ ♪ [HQ SPOTLIGHT] ♪ ♪ >> Chris: WE HAVE TWO WEEKS, TWO WEEKS FROM TONIGHT, THE NFL SEASON BEGINS! AND, NOW THERE'S A BUNCH OF WIDE RECEIVERS STILL LOOKING FOR NEW CONTRACTS. INCLUDING ... JA'MARR CHASE. WHO IS HOLDING IN WITH THE BENGALS, FOR REFERENCE, JOE BURROW GOT A NEW DEAL DONE THREE DAYS BEFORE THE SEASON OPENER; BUT, BURROW WAS PRACTICING WITH THE TEAM LAST OFF-SEASON. CHASE IS NOT. BRANDON AIYUK AND CD LAMB ARE LOOKING FOR NEW DEALS AND IN AIYUK'S CASE, POTENTIALLY A TRADE. LET'S GET THE THOUGHTS OF DANNY KANELL AND PETE PRISCO ON JA'MARR CHASE. SOME WORRY THAT IF HE WAITS TOO LONG, TOO CLOSE TO THE OPENER, HE WON'T BE READY TO GO FOR WEEK ONE, WITH THE NEW CONTRACT? >> Pete: HE WILL BE READY FOR WEEK ONE, THERE'S NO CONCERN THERE, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HIT IN PRACTICE ANYMORE, ANYWAY. IT'S NOT GONNA BE "RUSTY", HE'S IN EQUIP CHAPE. HE'S IN SHAPE. NO ONE HITS IN TRAINING CAMP, HE'LL BE FINE, IF THEY SIGN HIM. EVERYONE PORTRAYS THE BENGALS AS BEING "CHEAP", THEY USED TO CRITICIZE THEM FOR NOT HAVING A BIG SCOUTING STAFF. IT'S STILL NOT BIG BUT ... HE'S RIGHT BEHIND JEFFERSON. >> Danny: YOU THINK HE'S BEHIND? MAYBE 36. I MEAN ... PROBABLY WAS WHAT THE NEGOTIATION WAS ABOUT. HE PROBABLY WANTS TO BE THE NEW HEIST PAID. -- HIGHEST PAID. >> Pete: IN TRAINING CAMP, WE ASKED, AND THEY GOT STAND-OFF-I. JEFFERSON TO ME IS BETTER. BUT I COULD SEE WHERE THE MONEY WOULD BE SIMILAR, IF YOU ARE ASKING ME WHERE HE SLOTS IN ON THE RECEIVER PECKING ORDER? BEHIND JEFFERSON. >> Danny: AND I THINK TO MAKE A STATEMENT, IF THEY HAVE A BEEF OR SOMETHING, TRASH-TALK, THAT'S AT STAKE. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. THE LAST GUY. AND, THERE'S A LOT OF PLAYERS, ESPECIALLY RECEIVERS THAT DON'T PLAY IN THE PRE-SEASON, VERY MUCH. AND, MAYBE A SERIES IN THE FIRST GAME. AND, THEN THEY SHUT IT DOWN. CHRIS, YOED JOE BURROW -- YOU MENTIONED JOE BURROW HE GOT THE CONTRACT THREE DAYS, BUT HE'S THE COMMUNICATOR, GETTING THE TIMING AND THE RHYTHM WITH THE OFFENSIVE LINE, IF HE'S NOT THERE, HOOTS A HUGE -- IT'S A HUGE DEAL. A PLAYER LIKE CHASE, HE STEPS IN AND IS READY TO GO. AND, I WILL SAY THIS, THIS TEAM STARTED OFF SLOW DUE TO INJURIES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I THINK THERE ARE TEAMS AND THE CHIEFS TOOK A LOT OF BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HOLLYWOOD BROWN. I THINK SOME TEAMS THAT TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A PHYSICAL APPROACH TO THE PRE-SEASON, AND PLAY-BY-PLAYERS A LITTLE MORE. THEY ARE ABLE TO START OFF FASTER AND, SOMETIMES I THINK IT COULD ABE HUGE ADVANTAGE, IF YOU TAKE THAT. >> IT'S WORKED OUT FOR THE CHIEFS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. >> Grace: I THINK SO. WE THINK JA'MARR CHASE WILL BE BACK AND READY TO GO. JOE BURROW SEEMINGLY HEALTHY. AND TEE HIGGINS, SEEMINGLY HEALTHY. PETE, WHAT'S YOUR OVERALL LOOK AT THIS? >> Pete: THEY'RE IN THE MIX TO WIN THE DIVISION, HE WENT DOWN, I AM NOT SURE IF THEY WERE WINNING THE GAME BUT IT WAS ON THE ROAD, AT BALTIMORE, AGAINST THE RAVENS. AS LONG AS HE'S ON THE FIELD, THEY ARE, TO ME, THE TEAM -- IN FACT I WILL PICK THEM TO WIN THE DIVISION. I LOVE JOE BURROW. I THINK HE'S ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT ELEVATES THE TEAM AROUND HIM, AND I THINK YOU WILL SEE THAT, THIS YEAR. >> Danny: ANYTIME THEY STARTED AND FINISHED THE SEASON, THEY MADE IT TO AN OFFENSIVAVE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, SO I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU, ONE OF THE TOP QUARTERBACKS IN THE GAME, I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING ON HIM. LAMAR AND THE RAVENS, COMING OFF THE SECOND MVP, CAN THEY TAKE DOWN THE CHIEFS THIS YEAR? PEOPLE MAY BE SLEEPING ON THE BENGALS, THEY'RE THE TEAM THAT'S DONE IT IN KANSAS CITY, I DON'T THINK THERE'S A REASON TO THINK THEY COULDN'T DO IT AGAIN, AND THEY HAVE IMPROVED THE OFFENSIVE LINE IN FRONT OF THEM. >> Pete: THAT WAS A PROBLEM IN FRONT OF HIM, IT'S NOT ANYMORE, THEY HAVE GOTTEN BIGGER AND STRONGER AND IT WILL SHOW UP IN A BIG WAY. I THINK THEY ARE IN THIS YEAR. >> Chris: AND JOE BURROW, THE JUMPING OFF POINT FOR "WOULD YOU RATHER", THE GAME. PETE LIKES TO PLAY THIS, THIS IS QUARTERBACK-RELATED "WOULD YOU RATHER", YOU DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY OFF-SET. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Chris: WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE ... FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS. WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE JOE BURROW OR JOSH ALLEN. AND, BEFORE I LET YOU ANSWER, YOU HAVE TO COME TO A CONSENSUS, YOU HAVE TO COME TO AGREEMENT ON THE QUARTERBACK. >> Pete: THAT'S TOUGH FOR ME. I TAKE JOSH ALLEN. [ AUDIENCE OOHS ] >> Danny: WAXING POETIC ABOUT JOE BURROW, YOU LOVE HIM, IT'S AUTOMATIC, AND IT'S GONNA BE A BIG YEAR. JOE BURROW HAS DONE IT, HE HASN'T HAD A YEAR, INSTANTLY CAME IN, AND IF HE WASN'T HURT, HE WAS GOOD. JOSH ALLEN, TOOK A COUPLE OF YEARS, GOT STEFAN DIGGS, THE SECURITY BLANKET, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE DOESN'T HAVE HIM ANYMORE. QUESTION MARKS, CAN HE CARRY THE TEAM WITHOUT A TRUE ALPHAWIDE RECEIVER. JOE BURROW, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT WHAT WE HECAN DO. >> Pete: THE BEST ABILITY, IS. JOSH ALLEN SHOWS UP EVERY WEEK TO PLAY FOOTBALL. >> Danny: YOU HAVE TO WIN FROM THE POCKET. YOU KNOW THIS. CONSISTENTLY FROM THE POCKET. YOU ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE TURNOVERS? >> Pete: YOU KNOW WHY THE TURNOVERS HAPPENED? BECAUSE HE PRESSES, BECAUSE HE'S ASKED TO DO TOO MUCH. THAT'S WHY. AND, BY THE WAY, HE HAS MORE TOUCHDOWNS THAN ANYONE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, COMBINED TOUCHDOWNS. JOSH ALLEN HAS MORE THAN ANYBODY! >> Chris: I DON'T FEEL LIKE PETE'S GONNA BUDGE HERE. >> Grace: WE WILL CHAT WITH THE PRODUCER: >> Pete: UNLESS HE COMES TO MY SIDE. >> Danny: ALL RIGHT, WE GO JOSH ALLEN. BEBRUDGINGLY. >> Grace: WE AGREED ON JOSH ALLEN, BEGRUDGINGLY. NOW, JOSH ALLEN OR LAMAR JACKSON. >> Pete: THAT'S EASY FOR ME, JOSH ALLEN. >> Danny: IT'S A TWO-TIME MVP, I DON'T THINK IT'S EASY, BUT I THINK JOSH ALLEN IS THE TOTAL PACKAGE ... WHERE I DON'T HAVE AS MUCH CONCERNS, I THINK HE'S A BETTER NATURAL THROWER OF THE FOOTBALL. AND, I THINK HE'S MORE DURABLE, TALKING ABOUT INJURIES. LAMAR HAS HAD INJURY ISSUES. I THINK IT'S JOSH ALLEN, BUT THIS IS ONE'S A CLOSER CHOICE. >> Pete: HE'S BEEN BETTER WITH IN THE POST-SEASON. >> Chris: SOMEONE CLIPS THIS OFF, YOU MAY GET IN TROUBLE FOR TAKING JOSH ALLEN OVER THE TWO-TIME MVP. >> Pete: YOU COULD HAVE MADE A CASE FOR JOSH ALLEN BEING MVP LAST YEAR, YOU COULD HAVE. >> Chris: BUT HE DIDN'T WIN IT. ADVANCES AGAIN. JOSH ALLEN. JOSH ALLEN OR .... . JUSTIN HERBERT, FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. >> Danny: I STICK WITH JOSH ALLEN, JURST JUSTIN HERBERT IS ABOUT ABILITIES, HE COULD GET THERE, IT COULD BE ONE WHERE I FEEL IN 5 YEARS WE MIGHT REGRET IT, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN FROM JOSH ALLEN VERSUS WHAT I HAVEN'T SEEN FROM JUSTIN HERBERT, I THINK IT'S JOSH ALLEN. >> Pete: AND THEN THERE'S THE HARBAUGH FACTOR, WHAT DO YOU GET FROM HERBERT PLAYING IN A RUN-HEAVY OFFENSE. WILL IT MAKE IT BETTER? >> Danny: THEY NEED MORE WINS, MOST IMPORTANTLY. >> Pete: THAT'S WHAT I LOOK FOR, QUARTERBACK-PLAY. WINS. >> Danny: SELFISH GUY. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Pete: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GET MORE WINS THAT WAY, THE GAME IS AN AIR-GAME, IT'S A SPREAD-GAME, NOT A RUN-GAME, IT'S EVOLVED SINCE HE WAS LAST IN THE NFL WITH THE 49ERS. IT'S CHANGED. CAN >> Grace: ONE MORE HURDLE. FOR JOSH ALLEN. HIM OR CJ STROUD. THIS IS FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS WE ARE LOOKING AT PROJECTION, PETE, IS THIS A TOUGH ONE FOR YOU? >> Pete: IT'S TOUGH, IN 5 YEARS, JOSH ALLEN WILL BE OLDER AND CJ STROUD IS IN HIS PRIME. I PROBABLY STILL TAKE JOSH ALLEN. >> Danny: I GO CJ STROUD, WHAT YOU SAW IN HIS ROOKIE YEAR EXCEEDS JOSH ALLEN FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS, I THINK THE SKY'S THE LIMIT, HE'S A NATURAL THROWER, AND THE WAY HE SEES THE GAME AND, LIKE, HE HAS NOT ... FOR A ROOKIE, YOU SEE THEM MAKING MISTAKES, MULL PEL INTERS -- INTERCEPTIONS. HE HAD NO BONE-HEADED MISTAKES, ALREADY HAS A PLAYOFF WIN UNDER HIS BELT. I GO CJ STROUD HERE. >> Pete: I RANKED THE QUARTERBACKS AND WHEN I RANKED THEM, JOSH ALLEN IS #2. AND, PATRICK MAHOMES IS #1JOSH ALLEN IS #2. JOE BURROW IS CLOSE, AND CJ STROUD, YOU GOTTA DO IT AGAIN, THAT'S THE THING FOR ME. I LOVE CJ STROUD >> TOLD YOU, DAN MARINO, THE GREATEST FOOTBALL THROWER I HAVE SEEN, IN TERMS OF PLAYING QUARTERBACK. AND CJ STROUD REMINDS ME OF HIM, A GUY BETTER IN THE NFL THAN IN COLLEGE. I THINK CJ STROUD CAN BE SPECIAL, RIGHT NOW I TAKE JOSH ALLEN. >> Chris: JOSH ALLEN OVER EVERYONE, EXCEPT PATRICK MAHOMES.
