00:00Let's go to the quarterback position, and I think that this is a crazy question that we

00:03probably wouldn't have asked earlier in the season, but Sam Darnold, I mean, look, he's

00:08finally gone the other way. Unfortunately, 2387 yards. He has 19 touchdowns. It's 10 interceptions

00:15now on the season. He started off so good. You know, we talked about this earlier this season,

00:18George. Eventually, Darnold sort of regresses to what he used to be.

00:23You just said it. We said the same thing. This is what he does over and over again. First half,

00:28you know, first five, six games, he's good. The rest of the guys, he's not so much here.

00:32Also, he's much better in the scripted plays. Most teams script the top of the first 15 plays,

00:36then they see what's working the rest of the game. He practices that all week. He's very

00:40good at it. After that, not as much here. He's killing Justin Jefferson, all right? Absolutely

00:44killing him. I don't think Jefferson scored a touchdown since week six or week seven here,

00:48and that's all on Darnold here. Can't find him. So, listen, I'd like to drop him. I did in one

00:53league, by the way. In a quarterback one league, you should be able to do better. I know he had a

00:58best fantasy week last week, so it's funny we're bringing this up now. They're playing Chicago this

01:02week, tough secondary. I don't see big things coming here. I'd like to drop him. You should

01:06be able to do better. I would take Bo Nix over him for the rest of the year. All right, real quick,

01:10Hall of Fame vote. Next player, Antonio Gates, tight end Los Angeles slash San Diego

01:19Chargers. I guess he never played in LA. Antonio Gates, Hall of Famer?

01:24I don't think he ever did play in LA, so how does that work? I guess he would be a San Diego

01:27Charger in that case. Yeah, I think Antonio Gates is a Hall of Famer. I know this probably

01:32shocks you. I certainly wouldn't consider him one of the greatest of the great, but I do think he is

01:36a Hall of Fame tight end. I think there's a couple other guys out there. I think Tony

01:40Gonzalez, if not, he should be in. Jason Witten will be in the Hall of Fame one day, the Cowboy,

01:45but yeah, tight end Antonio Gates. No issues with him being in the Hall of Fame.
