About this episode

The episode discusses the shifting landscape of NFL quarterback rankings, focusing on Matthew Stafford's decline and the rise of players like Drake Maye and Bo Nix.

The NFL conversation has been dominated this week by the Top Ten quarterback list, but if you look ahead to next year, what changes would we see? Number one, Matthew Stafford will not be staying at three. Stafford is in his twilight despite the MVP honors and now will have increased injury risk with his left tackle's status in flux. Jared Goff could be a faller as well as the Detroit Lions continue to fall off the playoff cliff. On the flip side, a player like Drake Maye could have been higher on the list already, so expecting him to move up is not a hot take, but Bo Nix getting into the conversation is! Finally, there are a lot of quarterbacks that didn't make the list, but a guy like Jaxson Dart or Cam Ward could be primed to get in those talks next year.
