and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider and this is the final

episode of Random Questions Week. It was really fun to get all of you guys random questions and to have an episode with Manny Hill out on the porch.

Make sure you go check that out and with Mike Payton who covers the Detroit Lions random Lions questions was pretty fun as well but that doesn't mean that

answering your questions stops the fans only podcast will continue so feel free

to continue to send your questions to purple insider.com or to me on

Twitter at Matthew collar and if I didn't get to your question I'm sorry I got a

ton of these there's a new theme week next week, which is going to be Fantasy Football week,

and don't run away screaming if you don't like Fantasy Football content. It's mostly just talking about

what's going to happen in the 2024 season.

So I've got some fantasy guests who are good at projecting the world and the future

Which outcome is more likely? They both seem about equally likely that he will either become quite good and reach the threshold where the Vikings would want to pick up his fifth year option or he will struggle and they'll end up looking for other options in a couple of years and there's no better

demonstration of this and I'll try to pick aside in a minute but I'm working my way through it.

There's no better demonstration of this than the 20-20 class versus the

2021 class. When we look at the 20-20 draft class it's all successes in the first

round. Borough, T a when you're trying to decide do we really want to pay to a $55 million a year or not?

That means he's been pretty successful and he led the league in passing yards last year took him to the playoffs
