In this episode, the guys focus entirely on quarterbacks and ask some of the biggest questions shaping the NFL right now. Can you actually win a Super Bowl without an elite quarterback, or does roster construction and defense matter more than who is under center?
The conversation moves into whether paying non top-five quarterbacks market money hurts franchises long term, why rookie quarterback contracts are such a massive advantage, and how teams should handle players who are good but not great. From Dak Prescott and Drake May to Tua, Kyler Murray, Geno Smith, and more, Mike and Justin talk through when patience makes sense and when it is time to move on.

• Can teams win without an elite quarterback
• Elite defense vs elite QB debate
• Paying non top-five QBs market money
• Rookie quarterback contracts as a cheat code
• When teams should move on from good but not great QBs
• Dak Prescott and top five quarterback discussion
