0:00.0	Welcome to the Ringer NFL show. I'm your host, Shield Capadia, with my friend Stephen Ruiz,
0:05.8	and we are talking shaky quarterback spots today. This is an assessment of the most vulnerable,
0:12.5	uncertain quarterback situations and how those situations might play out this season. So anyone can do,
0:18.2	you know, coaches on the hot seat. We're kind of doing starting quarterbacks on the hot seat. And so the exercise is simple here. We each ranked
0:25.3	week one starters most likely to get benched at some point this season and how early will they
0:31.9	get benched. So we're next week, Monday and Tuesday, Ruiz, when everyone's saying, settle down.
0:39.7	It's early. It might not apply to these guys.
0:42.6	These might be some quarterbacks who have to have a sense of urgency because their starting spot might get pulled pretty early in the season.
0:48.3	No, the more I thought about it and the more the wider I cast at my net
0:51.8	and consider guys that are not on my radar for getting bench,
0:55.0	the more I realized like maybe like guys 22 through 32 all have a shot. I'm not saying like any like
1:01.6	those those early 20s guys are going to get bench, but I'm saying I can envision a world,
1:06.2	a scenario where that does happen. Okay. Well, I'm excited for that because I felt like there were a few
1:10.6	obvious choices and then I kind of had a harder time after that. So I'm curious to see how many
1:15.7	of our picks align and what this looks like. So let's take a break. We come back and we talk about
1:21.2	quarterbacks most likely to get benched during the 2025 season. This is the Ringer NFL show presented by Fandul, and the NFL is officially back.
