nfl for that but let's get into it let's start a quarterback and uh one of the names that definitely stands out to me is Trevor Lawrence. I haven't ranked at seven for this week. Lawrence has been spectacular over the last two weeks in particular. Back-to-back, QB1 finishes for him. Holy moly, out of Trevor Lawrence. And I don't think that goes anywhere this week. It's a huge game for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

2:14.7

You could use them. Now, I will say this, and I'm going to keep saying this. I'm going to keep saying this.

2:19.2

Don't make the decision until you have to.

2:20.9

Somebody asked me about Tyler Shuck and Bo Nix.

2:35.6

Well, they're back to back in rankings right now. We'll see where a Bo Nix comes in tomorrow night. That's when I would make that decision. now if i see bo nicks still behind him then i would go with Tyler Shuck, of course, because that's
