Oh my goodness, good morning, good afternoon.

Whatever it is for you, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

My name is Zach Schamler. This is Strong, Opinion Sports, episode 516.

Welcome into the podcasting pickup.

It's lightly raining outside.

I would imagine you can't hear it in the background,

In fact, I'm pretty sure no matter what happens in the Carolina Atlanta game,

that team takes the lead in the division, even if Carolina summa gets to three and five,

I think they actually would be tied but have a better record in the division.

So, you know, my number one takeaway from last night on

Thursday night football was that it felt like the new era of quarterbacks beating the old era of quarterbacks. Not only in there's a new wave of quarterbacks,

Mahomes, Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Jill Burrow, and we're watching our heroes

that we watched, at least I did growing up, Ben Rothersberger, Tom Brady.

I know I'm dating myself, but there's been a generation of quarterbacks,

Aaron Rogers, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, I'm a throw in there.
