From the episode

like even Jalen Waddle this year, who's going to play tonight, you know, we're recording this before the Thursday. So this is not a take on what's going to happen tonight. Obviously he's been a bus thus far, but I think there's enough data and evidence and stuff to like, I'm not really that mad about the process of being like into Jalen Waddle this year, you know? And like, I don't want a result. Like I did not expect the Broncos to be a bottom five offense.

STACKED’s take

NeutralBust

Waddle's bust status reflects Broncos offense failure, not flawed Waddle analysis.

JJ Zachariason noted that Jalen Waddle has been a bust thus far this season, but defends his process-based analysis of Waddle entering the year. Zachariason's issue was not with Waddle himself but with the Broncos offense being worse than expected; the Broncos are a bottom-five offense, which was not anticipated. Zachariason does not regret the process of liking Waddle, only the external context.
