Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fandul, Matthew Collar, here. And it is time once again for our fantasy showp with Mike Shope, WGR 550 and ADP chasing. Well, Mike, it is over. The Seattle Seahawks are your champions. 60 to 1 to start

the year and they end up winning the Super Bowl. And I saw a few analysts talking about, like, this

really doesn't happen that often. And I wonder what you think that that universe missed about the Seattle Seahawks.

And I think it's the same thing they missed about the 2024 Vikings when the over under was six

and a half is Sam Darnold once again, my friends. I mean, I think at some point, how many games

does someone have to be a top-notch quarterback before you just say at 28 years old in the former number three overall pick that they're a top-notch quarterback?

I mean, you don't have to say he's Mahomes.

You don't have to say he's Allen.

But I mean, we're talking about like a 50 game stretch now of this guy being really good at football. And I think

that the betting market just still didn't really believe it. I'm not sure they will buy into it

next year either because your first impression carries a lot of weight. And, you know, how does it

start? Well, it gets drafted by the Jets.

That's not a great start, you know.

And I know that Allen, for me at least,

was pretty much the same in that way,

getting drafted by the bills,

but, you know, he blasted off.

You know, from a real life standpoint,

it does make enough sense. Darnold, how he played last year, Smith and

Jigba. I mean, he was a great prospect, and not every great prospect is great as a rookie. So it

took him a little time, and he had quarterback transitions, and he was playing different positions.

Remember he got hurt, too too in his first preseason.
