Can Sam Darnold become the greatest QB redemption story?
Folks, I'm getting hungry. And you know my favorite part of any meal, snack, or game day app? That's right. The GOAT, or should I say the greatest of all time, Frank's Red Hot. It's got the perfect blend of flavor and heat that elevates all foods from wings to buffalo chicken dip to even ice cream. That's right. I said ice cream. And with a roster of flavors from OG to sweet chili, you can put that shit on everything. So make every dish the greatest and eat the GOAT.
I think it's a great opportunity for a new face of the league to ascend in Drake May.
When I say that we may be seeing the beginning of Patriots Dynasty 2.0, it's because of Drake May. I think he's that good. I'm not comparing to Brady. That's five years from now that you even dare do that. But I think Drake May is that good right now.
I think Denver and Houston were the single worst matchups that Drake May could have seen. I think he should fear Seattle less than those two. Drake May having this stage against this defense, I actually think he's going to kill it because I think he's that kind of guy. I think he's like Josh Allen. And no matter how good your defense is, he's going to rise to the occasion. Are the Seahawks better than the Rams? I'm a proud day one stock owner of Drake Maystock. You're not shook by the last two games he's had to play against great defenses?
Bad weather. I just think New England is really being underrated going into this game. And maybe that Seattle's being a little bit overrated.
If I ask America right now, hey, do you think Seattle's defense was better than Houston's or Denver's? Because you saw what Houston's and Denver's did in weather to Drake May. I just think that Drake May might be about to show everybody in the country that that defense is not as good as you think it is, even though the metrics say that it is. It's the heat. I believe that Sam Darnold will throw interceptions. Yes, I do too. I'm on four and a half. I'll take it.
What makes Drake May a promising QB for the NFL?
And it's Vrabel as an underdog. This one's easy. Does feel easy to bet. Give me the points. And if you even want to take the Seahawks, why don't you hedge against that and cook up a little Drake Mays Superman parlay with like rushing yards or what have you. The Rams, that offense is better at offense than Seattle is at defense. Do you have an opinion given how close the games were between the Rams and Seattle when it is that you look at Seattle in the Super Bowl? Do you see an appreciable difference between who's better between those two teams? Between the Rams and Seattle? Yes. Well, of course, Seattle's better because they won that game. That's Fred Warner. So Dan Arlovsky says of Sam Darnold, it's the greatest redemption story the NFL has ever seen.
Darnold is the first player in NFL history to lose his first playoff game by double digits and then come back and win the Super Bowl the very next year. I don't think any of us, anybody, anybody had... Geno Smith being replaced by Sam Darnold and it turning into this. What have the Seahawks won? Is it 10 straight games? Seven of them by 10 plus points and their three losses by a total of nine points. They lost one game by four points. That's their worst loss of the season. That team was dominant and took on all comers being dominant. Jeremy, when we say that Drake May was sacked six times yesterday, but 21 this postseason, does that mean that that's the least that he was sacked in a postseason game?
It must, mathematically, right? Because I don't think anybody had 10 sacks on him. Like, the game we just saw is the least pressured. that Drake May was when he played Denver and when he played Houston. If he took 21 sacks in three games and there were only six of them yesterday.
He played four games. Remember, he played the Chargers to stop to start this one. So he was sacked five times against the Chargers. He was sacked five times against Houston. Five times against Denver. And then six times against Seattle.
So it's the opposite of what I was saying. To stop. Stop, moron. It was very different from all the words that came out of your mouth.
