# 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. They also revisited their mid-November take that Bo Nix would win Rookie of the Year.
