00:03Danny Nichols 5050 bet on next year.

00:07Is he starting week number one in the NFL for any team?

00:12Now, this is an injury.

00:14I mean, I think he's a backup going into where he signs.

00:17You know, so whatever team he signs with, then he will sign with somebody.

00:20He's the backup quarterback.

00:22But then again, that backup could get hurt.

00:23The starter could get hurt, you know, during training camp.

00:26Then he's the starter.

00:27But I don't think he's a starting quarterback going in.

00:30What's his best case scenario, Scott?

00:32I mean, even if you say, well, he'll start with the Raiders.

00:34Well, the Raiders are going to draft the quarterback.

00:36You know, see, I guess you'd be hoping that that quarterback's not ready.

00:39I guess that would be another possibility.

00:43Exactly.

00:46Rather have Danny Nichols or Sam Darnold.

00:53Who I think stinks.

00:55He's playing with a great offense.

00:57A great offense.

00:59And you and I could quarterback that viking offense.

01:01And he's starting to show his true colors these last few games.

01:05So who's more likely to do this?

01:06Isn't it the same story every year with Sam Darnold, Scott?

01:09We see this all the time with Darnold.

01:10He does well the first four or five games.

01:12And then it's like everybody sees what he can do and they stop it.

01:15He's very good in the first 15 scripted plays that he's practiced all week.

01:18But then he can't do anything after that.

01:21Jones or Darnold.

01:22I guess Darnold, at least he's winning some games.

01:24So I'll take Darnold here, but I don't feel great about it.

01:28I don't think a team is going to say, here's my franchise.

01:32You know, I think like Gardner mentioned with the Raiders is the perfect example.

01:35All right.

01:36We got a young kid that maybe we believe in.

01:38We're not sure.

01:39We'll bring you in, Sam.

01:40We'll bring you in.

01:41Danny, you can compete.

01:43If you go in the starting job, great.

01:45If you don't, you don't.

01:46But I don't think there's going to be a Atlanta foul play.

01:51Atlanta Falcons team with Kirk Cousins that just says, you know what, Danny Nichols?

01:56You're our quarterback.

01:57You know what, Sam Darnold?

01:59You had a great season last year in Minnesota.

02:01You're our quarterback.

02:01Here's a three-year, four-year, $100 million contract with two years guaranteed or something

02:07goofy like that.

02:08I don't think that's going to happen with those guys.
