Summary

Nick Wright reacts to Shedeur Sanders' stellar debut for the Cleveland Browns in their opening NFL preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Should Shedeur start over Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel? Later, Nick breaks down why Colin Cowherd saying Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs' dynasty is over is a ridiculous take. How confident is Nick in his Chiefs to hold off the likes of Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills, Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens, and Joe Burrow's Cincinnati Bengals? Lastly, Nick reacts to The Ringer’s Bill Simmons and ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky's QB rankings heading into the 2025 NFL season. Nick discusses whether it is fair for anyone to rank Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, or Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow over Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes... and uses Simmons' Tom Brady-Peyton Manning argument to say why it's not. #Volume

0:34.8	That is going to be Joe Flacko.
0:39.4	I don't even think, by the way,
0:45.1	if I were Shador, I know he can't say this. I wouldn't even want to be the week one starter.
0:56.5	Like I would, the, the Browns open with the Ravens and then they play, I'm sorry, the Browns open with the the Bengals so I wouldn't actually hate that because the Bengals defense but then they go Ravens Packers Lions Vikings
