What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackler, and it is Wednesday, October 27th.

0:19.8

A little fired up this week, man. A little fired up Halloween week. We get a Halloween

0:24.7

football Sunday. That's going to be fun. I'm going to be the weird guy standing in the

0:29.6

driveway with the TV with football on hand and now beers to all the dads trick-or-treating.

0:35.2

That's me. They'll trick-or-treating. Hey, there's not the wrong with that. Anyway,

0:40.2

it is Rankings Day on the show, and we're going to dive into it a lot of,

0:45.8

well, a lot of movement. A lot of movement at some of these positions, but really not a lot of

0:50.4

movement at quarterback. I've said kind of all along if you have one of the top 10, you're good.

1:27.2

think Tyree Kill needs to be fully healthy for this team to be firing on all cylinders, but

1:32.6

I'm not worried about Mahomes. Kyler Murray, coming in at number three, obviously not worried

1:39.5

about him. Now I will say this. At number four, I have Jalen Hertz, and this is the most bizarre

1:46.8

situation because Jalen Hertz by all football standards is not performing well. He is not the

1:54.7

sole reason for the Eagles' woes, but he is a probably pretty big part of it. They just don't

2:02.1

have a starting caliber quarterback in the NFL. He's not an NFL quarterback, at least at this point

2:08.7

in his career. No, it's still very early in his career, and I am willing to give him the benefit

2:12.8

of the doubt. If the Eagles are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I digress.
