# Chris Brockman: Brockman argued Josh Allen will never reach a Super Bowl in Buffalo, that Mahomes is already the second-best QB ever, that Saquon Barkley is one Super Bowl win from the best RB season ever, and predicted Jayden Daniels will lead Washington back to the conference championship round next season. He also revisited his mid-November take that Bo Nix would win Rookie of the Year. **Claimed:** Jan 27, 2025 **Pundit:** Chris Brockman — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/chris-brockman **Outlet:** Overreaction Monday (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/overreaction-monday-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/WWO3059901545.mp3?updated=1737998544 2 checkable claims — 1 award pick and 1 playoff pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
