Sam Darnold is a top five quarterback in the NFL

Sam Darnold. Good guy. Elite quarterback elite. Elite, elite. Top five. [Big Cat: Gimme your top five.] Drake Maye. Sam Darnold. Josh Allen, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels.

The ranking of Sam Darnold as a top 5 QB is highly subjective and generally considered incorrect by consensus, despite any recent Super Bowl success mentioned.

Devon Witherspoon is one of the best defensive players in the NFL

One person that a lot of people not going to talk about, but I feel like he's like low key. One of the best defensive players in the league is Devon Witherspoon. Spoon is, he is the heart and soul of that Seattle Seahawks defense. Like he is coordinating everything back there. He doesn't miss tackles, he makes plays on the ball. Like he is a true football player out there, man. And he definitely deserves a nine nine on defense [in Madden].

The ranking of a player among the 'best' is a matter of opinion.

Sam Darnold is officially confirmed as a franchise 'guy' per the Todd Bowles 100-game rule

Did you see Todd Bowles was prophetic... after Sam Darnold was drafted... they asked him do they have a guy? And he said, 'I don't know if we have a guy, ask me again in like a hundred games.' The Super Bowl was [Sam Darnold's] hundred and first game. So we do confirmed to have a guy. Todd Bowles saw it. Yes.

Sam Darnold won the Super Bowl in his 101st game, fulfilling the condition of Todd Bowles' famous quote about evaluating quarterbacks.

The Patriots would have won Super Bowl 60 if the Cooper Kupp bobble had been challenged and overturned.

I don't know why they didn't challenge that in real time. That was like, that's a bobble. And then it was clearly was a bobble. If he didn't, if they didn't, if they reviewed it and it gets overturned, they didn't even get a field goal... I think we win. [Sliding doors effect].

The Seahawks won the Super Bowl because they invested more in special teams than any other team in the NFL.

The Seahawks spend the most out of anyone in the NFL on special teams. $9.3 million. Jason Myers just finished... scoring the most points anyone's ever scored in an NFL season. Special teams matters. This Seahawks organization says, 'Hey, here's where we can win the game on the margins.'

The Seahawks indeed relied heavily on Jason Myers (5 field goals) and excellent punting to secure the win, verifying the value of the investment in this game.

NFL teams will start keeping struggling quarterbacks longer hoping they become the next Sam Darnold.

You're probably gonna see some teams stick with a quarterback maybe a season or two longer than maybe they should. Because they're like, what if he just becomes Sam Darnold? And what if he gets really good? What if it was our problem to begin with?

The key to stopping the Seahawks' offense is stopping the run first to make Sam Darnold one-dimensional.
