00:00McCarthy, I don't even know if we're going to see next year. I really I'm not even sure
00:07what Minnesota is going to do here. It's I guess here's what I would guess. I would guess
00:13McCarthy has a 90% chance to start next year. And the reason I say 90% is because I'm not
00:19a believer the Vikings are going far in the playoffs. But George, if they get to the Super
00:24Bowl or win it, Sam Darnold is going to start for the Vikings again next year. I think that
00:29is my where I draw the line there with the Vikings. If they get to the Super Bowl or
00:36win it, how do you not play him?
00:40It's funny. I think I had this conversation. I think it was with Joe Lisi. Just what you're
00:43talking about. We were drawing the line. Exactly. Where does Darnold have to go? And I didn't
00:47say Super Bowl. I think he's got to go to the NFC Championship. Because Craig, that
00:51will mean he's won two playoff games. All right, then. Right now, looking at Minnesota
00:56would play Atlanta first round. Okay. Anybody beats Atlanta. But the second round, he's
01:01going to have to beat probably a Green Bay-ish type team or maybe Philadelphia. That's it.
01:05And if he does that, if he just does it to get to the championship game. I mean, I think
01:10the better question is, what does Minnesota do? Do you hand them a big contract? You know,
01:14five years, 200 million? Or do you franchise him to give yourself another year? You know,
01:20I mean, this is the one that could get a GM fired if he makes the wrong choice here. I
01:25mean, I think this is rough, because I don't know what I would do. If I'm a GM. I need
01:30to see more from Darnold. I don't. The two teams that I probably have the biggest doubts
01:34about all season long were Pittsburgh and Minnesota. You know, good teams, but that
01:40I just don't trust here. Pittsburgh's playing down to that now. Minnesota's been playing
01:43up. You know, maybe they win on Sunday. That's another feather in his cap, by the way, to
01:47beat Green Bay in a really important game. And what if they beat Detroit? What if they
01:51don't lose again until the championship game, which means they will have won Sunday, beat
01:55Detroit next week, and they win the division. Right. I mean, wow, it's all there for Sam
02:00Darnold. It's all there for Sam Darnold's Votham attack. It really is. I mean, maybe
02:04the Vikings will shock us and trade McCarthy to some team and, you know, get a first round
02:08pick back. I mean, they could do that, too. All right, Drake May, you know, hard to gauge
02:14Drake May with the talent that's around him offensively. I'm not going to pretend he's
02:17had the Bo Nicks here, but I did see some nice things from him this year, and I think
02:21that there's nothing wrong with those stats for a first-year quarterback. And the final
02:27one to talk about here is Michael Pennix Jr., who I have nothing to say because I don't
02:31know. I cannot use last week's game that I saw. Sunday night, we'll get a nice view as
02:37to what he can potentially do against Washington. I agree on both points. Drake May, I think,
02:43is the guy, but the New England Pages have the worst talent in the NFL. Hard to judge
02:47on what he's done yet, but he looks like he is the guy. He's surviving on that team.
02:51You get him some talent here. I think he'll be right up there with a Bo Nicks type. I
02:55don't think he's going to go much further than that. And yet, Pennix is incomplete.
02:58I don't know. You know, from what I saw last week, he can make overthrows. He didn't turn
03:03the ball over, but Drew Locke was throwing pick sixes left and right. They didn't need
03:06him to do anything. Sunday night against Washington, they're going to need him to do something.
03:10A lot of things. I don't think he can. All right. Not yet. Maybe in time, but not yet.
03:16All right. Finally, Caleb Williams, first overall pick. 479 rushing yards to go with
03:2119 touchdowns, six interceptions. The right coach helps him a lot, George. I'm not quitting
03:27this guy yet. Agreed. Right coach. Offensive line. My God, give this kid some time to throw.
03:33He's running for his life. But I agree with you. I think he is the guy.
