Welcome to The Athletic Football Show. I'm Robert Mays. Really excited to talk to my buddy Derek

Classen today about quarterbacks at a crossroads heading into this season. This isn't necessarily

guys who have a lot riding on the 2025 season. Most of the players that we're going to talk about

on this show are established starters. Most of them,

if not all of them, have gotten paid on like massive second contracts. A lot of them are

entrenched with their teams. It's more about whether they'll take one road or another

based on some changing circumstances surrounding their teams. New play callers. Maybe they took a step back last year and worried if they're finally going to take the step forward that we might have anticipated for them. So we're talking about guys like Jared Goff today. We're talking about Kyler Murray. We're having a little bit of a Trevor Lawrence discussion. That will be different than the one we've already had on this show this week. I promise you that.

And a few other guys that we just think this season is big for them in what kind of players they are in the way that we talk about them. There's something riding on this year in a slightly

different way, even if it's not contracts, jobs, all of that stuff. These are guys that we

really wanted a chance to discuss in some way, shape, or form that we really haven't been able to dig into that much out of that stuff. These are guys that we really wanted a chance to discuss in some way,

shape, or form that we really haven't been able to dig into that much on a lot of the other

shows that we've done so far this summer. So really enjoyed this discussion with Derek

Klesson. Hope you guys do as well. Let's get to it right now.

Talking quarterbacks at a crossroads today on the athletic football show we've done some versions of this show over the last couple weeks just who has the most at stake this season

things like that but this is a different sort of discussion like a lot of the quarterbacks

we're going to talk about today i don't think they necessarily have a lot at stake. They're guys that have been extended. They're guys that some of them are the best players in the league. They're going to be the quarterbacks of their teams next year. So in terms of like money and jobs, there isn't a lot riding on these guys, Derek. But I just think that a lot of the quarterbacks we're going to talk about today, for one reason or another, have come to a fork in the road of their career, whether it's

year three in a new system, whether it's you have the right play caller now, what are you going to do?
