Do you think the line would have been any different depending on who won?

I don't know.

I had a couple of things I want to hit.

We'll start with Darnold versus Stafford.

So they had that 38, 37 game, which was probably the best regular season game of the year.

And ironically swung the home field for this with that crazy two point play.

I can't believe if I, if we had done this in August, when we were doing the preseason guest aligns and all the futures and stuff,

what would the Fando odds have been for Sam Darnold versus Matthew Stafford will be our best quarterback rivalry in the 2025 season?

Oh, wow.

Cause that's what ended up happening.

Those two guys today and in week 16 played two of the most fun games we've seen all year and really seemed like they were elevating each other.

And I just, I let the odds of that when they got Darnold, you know, over the spring summer, uh,

It was like, ah, they turned Geno Smith into Darnold.

Do you think they're better or worse?

Now he's going toe-to-toe with the guys probably going to win the MVP.

Didn't turn the ball over.

I thought had a couple like superb throws.

The throw to Shahid in the first drive.

Yeah.

Perfect.
