NFL QB Development Is Broken + NFC West Preview: Cardinals & 49ers
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges in developing young quarterbacks in the NFL and previews the upcoming season for the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers.
The show opens with a deep dive into one of the biggest problems facing the NFL: the failure to develop young quarterbacks. With the news of Kyler Murray becoming the starter in Minnesota, Erik and Matt revisit a topic they've discussed time and time again — are teams giving up on young QBs too quickly while simultaneously failing to build a roster around them? We break down the responsibility of quarterbacks, coaches, and front offices, and question whether some young QBs are actually failing or simply being put in situations where success is nearly impossible. From there, it's time to kick off the NFC West preview with the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers.We go through both rosters, examine the biggest questions and potential injury concerns, and try to figure out what the realistic outlook is for two teams heading in very different — yet strangely similar — directions. Are the Cardinals actually ready to take the next step? Can the 49ers stay among the NFC's contenders? And where do we expect both teams to finish when the 2026 season comes to an end? Another NFL division preview is underway! Become a supporter of this podcast…
