# Chris Brockman: Brockman argued Carson Beck will be the first rookie quarterback to start a game this season, pitched Jacksonville as a genuine Super Bowl contender, predicted both Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs finish among the top five in MVP voting, and picked a wide receiver — Carnell Tate — to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. **Claimed:** Aug 10, 2026 **Pundit:** Chris Brockman — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/chris-brockman **Outlet:** Overreaction Monday (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.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/ESP5598359217.mp3 5 checkable claims — 3 award picks, 1 depth chart call and 1 surprise team call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Carson Beck is starting to establish himself, and I think he's gonna be the first rookie to start a game this year. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jacksonville Jaguars to beat expectations** - Kind: Surprise Team Calls · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bijan Robinson to win top-five MVP finish** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jahmyr Gibbs to win top-five MVP finish** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carnell Tate to win Offensive Rookie of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Carnell Tate - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Carson Beck, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Bijan Robinson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/bijan-robinson - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/falcons - Jahmyr Gibbs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jahmyr-gibbs - Detroit Lions — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/lions - Carnell Tate — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/carnell-tate - Carson Beck — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/carson-beck - Arizona Cardinals — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cardinals ## What others said about the same people - Fox Sports on Michael Penix Jr.: Fox Sports states that a healthy Tua Tagovailoa will serve as Atlanta's backup quarterback in Week 3, with Michael Penix Jr. handling the starting duties against Green Bay. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/a90e69a8-707f-43e9-a63e-cdb3e7bd0829 (scored 100) - Nathan Jahnke on Devin Duvernay: PFF's preseason usage recap makes a number of depth-chart and roster projections, including nine rookie receivers slotting as top-three options on their teams, sleeper tight end usage, and specific depth-chart placements for Cardinals, Falcons and Ravens players. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8f52d1f8-91ed-459c-99a7-30c2d3fb38e0 (scored 100) - Nathan Jahnke on Ameer Abdullah: An unsigned PFF preseason recap makes numerous depth-chart, roster and usage projections across the league, based on Week 3 preseason playing time — including Roman Wilson winning Pittsburgh's third receiver job, Luke McCaffrey's roster spot being in danger, Charlie Kolar as the Chargers' top tight end, and Kendre Miller as the Saints' RB2. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/47566b48-8024-4960-b25c-11c03fe43543 (scored 100) - Nathan Jahnke on Devin Duvernay: PFF's preseason fantasy recap makes a series of depth-chart, roster and usage projections based on final-week preseason snap counts, including Ja'Kobi Lane locking down the Ravens' third receiver role, Luke McCaffrey's roster spot being in danger, Kyle Pitts facing reduced 12-personnel usage, Kendre Miller as the Saints' RB2 and Emmett Johnson as the Chiefs' backup running back. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/265cbdba-b0e0-4f80-9665-a4ca5aaec53e (scored 100) - Donnie Druin on Jalen Brooks: Druin suggests Jalen Brooks has broken out in Cardinals camp and could land a roster spot as Arizona's sixth wide receiver, though he won't displace any of the top wideouts. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/a199c40d-87c8-4034-a6a8-e042c68652f3 (scored 100) - John Shipley on Branson Combs: Shipley's training camp winners and losers: he picks Parker Washington to lead the Jaguars in receiving yards, sees B.J.
