Summary

In the second part of our two-part mega NFL preview, Bill Barnwell joins us to take a look at what’s going on in the NFC. As the Los Angeles Rams prepare to defend their Super Bowl title in year two of the Matthew Stafford era, the San Francisco 49ers are all-in on Trey Lance as QB1…or are they? Tom Brady retired, then just as quickly un-retired to come back for his 21st season in the NFL, but will he still be the Tom Brady we all know and hate at age 45? Will Aaron Rodgers keep up the psychedelic highs on the field that led to his MVP season a year ago, or will the Packers come down after losing Davante Adams and ZaDarius Smith? And then there’s the NFC East…which may just be the worst division in football. And of course, we couldn’t let Bill leave without getting a way-too-early Super Bowl LVII prediction out of him.

0:39.0	So what is the NFC looking like to you by comparison?
0:43.3	Well, there's a lot of quarterbacks in the NFC who are in really small font.
0:49.6	And that's fine.
0:50.8	Some of them I've never heard of before.
0:53.3	Some of them I feel a little old and sad because I have heard of them and I'm embarrassed
0:57.3	they're so low on the poster.
0:59.5	God help the one person who was swaying with their eyes closed, really feeling carcin'
1:05.1	and wets in this aheritet.
1:30.6	It certainly does and it feels like they're kind of the only people who have a realistic shot
