Welcome to the Ringer NFL show. I am Nora Prince-Yati. I am not Kevin Clark who would normally be here with you on Thursday.

Kevin will be back with me breaking down all of the week 10 action on Sunday night.

But until then we're going to have a really fun conversation with Mallory Rubin about some of the young rookie quarterbacks that we've seen play so well this year.

And then we're going to talk to Danny Kelly and Kaelin Jones and revisit some of our preseason picks.

Today's episode of the Ringer NFL show on the Ringer podcast network is brought to you by State Farm.

Getting great car and home insurance from State Farm at a surprisingly great rate. That's like drafting a player that becomes an all pro, the real deal.

State Farm agents provide personalized service so you can customize your insurance to fit your needs, like a GM putting together their very own roster.

You need a team that supports you and State Farm's got a great one. In addition to agents, the award-winning mobile app helps manage coverage, pay bills, file claims, and more.

With a great price and even greater service, State Farm goes from strength to strength.

Choose insurance that always brings its A game. When you want the real deal, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

Alright, so we have Mallory Rubin here. Hello Mallory. I'm very excited to talk to you about some quarterbacks today.

Oh my god, Nora. What a delight to be here with you. Thank you for having me. It's an honor, it's a privilege. I can't wait to chat.

How is my pal Halo?

He's passionate to be on a passionate. He is currently napping in a particularly vibrant and expansive sun square.

He, like me, he, like you, just loves to watch rookie quarterbacks. He has a lot of thoughts on Herbert, he's a long time to withstand.

He's doing great. He's excited about our focus today.

And I will, I should probably just tell all of our listeners, I will be doing this entire podcast with a paper bag over my head as the result of maybe a two a talk of I lower related conversation that took place on this podcast that in hindsight, not looking so great, but I'm excited to unpack all of that.

Listen, listen, I, I just want you to know that Bangalixman has forgiven you.

Okay. Now she's not going to ever say that to you directly, but I have known Ben for a long time and he has a pure heart. And so I think you guys can find your way forward together.

We did offer Ben the opportunity to call into this very podcast and just like yell at me for 10 minutes and he declined because as not already said, pure of heart, kind of soul.

But a fellow college football fan like you are, which is why I'm pumped about this conversation because I kind of want to get a vibe check going on these rookie quarterbacks who've been so exciting this year. Yeah, we love a vibe check.

But just because you're a huge college football fan, watched all these guys and I'm curious just what it's been like seeing Joe burrow then Justin Herbert now to a playing as someone who had a lot of history as a football watcher with all these guys before they were in the NFL.
