Summary
It's the return of Quarterback Island! Gregg Rosenthal, Jourdan Rodrigue, Colleen Wolfe, and Steve Wyche decide which 12 QBs have played well enough to make their way onto Quarterback Island, starting with those who are on the Island and have played well enough to stay (04:00), followed by those who have played their way off of the Island (08:40) and voting on those who have played their way onto the Island (27:08). The show is wrapped up with a preview of the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Eagles and Giants (01:02:05) and a reaction to the Ravens trading Odafe Oweh to the Chargers (01:10:39).
