Yeah, we probably like our quarterback more than other people around the country, but the narrative circulating in the national ranks yesterday was just plain lazy- no, Sam is not a liability for the Seahawks in the playoffs.
14 interceptions and 6 lost fumbles- that’s all anyone focuses on, not the fact that his team is winning and Sam is doing his part to help them get there.
He was only 20 years old when he came into the league and he went to a crappy team, so it’s highly probably that he wasn’t getting what he needed to grow as an NFL QB in NY and Carolina.

:30- Bad news anti-analytics people: if you want King Felix to get into the Hall of Fame, you’re going to have to support the analytics, because that’s how he will get there.
Yesterday was very promising for Felix Hernandez as he saw the biggest jump in vote percentage from year 1 on the ballot to year 2 since 1967 going from 20.6% last year to 46.1% this year.

:45- Walker’s workload has been kept fairly low all season long as he split carries with Zach Charbonnet, but now, that’s not an option with Charbs out.
How many carries should Walker get on Sunday? A lot more!

Chuck Powell and Bucky Jacobsen are on the air weekdays from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m. talking all things Seattle Sports

We've grabbed the best of our Wednesday show just for you!

Best of Chuck & Buck 1-21 

Remember when the Seahawks had two first-round picks and we talked about the idea of them moving up to take Stroud or Young… boy are we glad they didn’t!
What do the National guys need to see from Sam Darnold to recognize he is not a liability at quarterback? 
Yes, at one point he looked like a bust, but he’s put together 2 back-to-back 14-win seasons, what more do you need? 
He is not a liability for this Seahawks team, he is a strength and he’s playing his role in this team’s success.

:30- AL KINISKY (Kraken Audio Network color analyst)
The Kraken need a win! 
From winning nonstop and climbing up the standings to this current skid, what is causing the inconsistencies?

:45- We wrap up the humpday show with one last thing!

Chuck & Buck 1-21 hour 4: Liability vs strength, Al Kinisky and one last thing.

MATT HASSELBECK makes his Wednesday visit and we start with that win over the Niners last Saturday.
It all started with the kickoff, but what did Matt think about the win from start to finish.
Were Darnold & the coaching staff doing anything different last week to protect him and his injury and what should we expect this week?
Ok, we have to talk about Matt Stafford and the season he is having- are we worried about facing him again?
What does the Seahawks defense need to do to stop him on Sunday?
The Broncos are in a tough spot, but Matt doesn’t think the QB will be the issue in the AFC Championship.
How is Matt feeling about the Seahawks chances on Sunday?

:30- We’re bring out the Cher-Coacherie Board!
-	No, we don’t think Klint Kubiak’s head coaching potential is a distraction for this team, but will Kubiak land in Buffalo or Baltimore when the season comes to an end?
-	Eric Bienamy is headed back to Kansas City and Mike McDaniel is headed to the Chargers as OC… now that’s going to be a room of weird.

:45- Yes, there’s Stafford, there’s Williams, but the one we really have to worry about slowing down is Puka Nacua. Can the Seahawks defense contain him this time?

Chuck & Buck 1-21 Hour 3: #8 at 8- Matt Hasselbeck, Cher-Coacherie Board and is it possible to slow Puka down?
