Summary

Charles McDonald is joined by Bleacher Report QB guru Derrik Klassen to discuss what they saw in Week 2 of NFL action and talk all things quarterback as they decide which first-year starters are playing the best so far. The duo start by recapping Week 2, including David Bakhtiari's war against turf, the NFC North's early struggles, the wildest game of the week (New York Giants beating the Arizona Cardinals), Zach Wilson and Josh Allen being put on a leash (with differing results) and Nick Chubb's disastrous knee injury. Next, they evaluate Jordan Love, Desmond Ridder, Sam Howell, Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson to determine who inspires the most confidence through two weeks of football.

Welcome back to the exam list. Today, we're talking about quarterbacks, one topic that nobody

0:05.7

ever likes to talk about or delve into or spend years of their lives arguing about. But we are

0:11.7

joined by Derek Classam of Bleacher Report to go over all things quarterbacks, young quarterbacks,

0:18.1

old quarterbacks. We're just going to get right into it. Week two, example is coming to you now.

0:30.0

Derek, my friend, I'll go through today. Not so bad. I got to say, I'm not a fan of the double

0:43.2

header action. It's a little exhausting after a full Sunday football and those games were

0:48.8

they didn't really get you excited to end the week of football on, but you know, other than that,

0:53.2

we're cooking, we're doing good. Yeah, so for those of you who don't know, Derek does quarterback

0:58.3

central centric work for various outlets. Right now, the biggest 20s to work with is a bleacher

report. So the Monday night double header for quarterbacks playing like poo all at the same time.

1:11.1

That was not a fun experience for me. And I'm sure for someone like you who cares more about

1:16.5

quarterback play than I do. I think they are scourges upon society and defensive players are

1:21.7

persecuted class of people. But I'm sure for you, that was a not great night of football outside

1:28.5

of maybe Cleveland's quarterback having a done moment. That was probably at least the most fun part

1:33.6

of it is seeing him lose the game on multiple defensive touchdowns, given up, you know, not

1:40.2

going to not going to complain about that. I will say, I don't remember if we got a Bryce

1:45.2

Young Interception, which is sad because I really wanted them to hit the cycle on the double header

1:49.7

for all quarterbacks to throw an interception because I know for a fact the other three did

1:53.4

a little faster than I throw an interception last week. I know he gave up the strip sack,

1:58.7

but that's not that's not the same because even then we would have needed all the quarterbacks

2:03.2

to give up a strip sack. And I think only a couple of them did it. We needed them all to throw

2:07.1

the interception and Bryce kind of failed us there. Bryce had two strip sacks. One of them got
