| 0:00.0 | Okay, those are the first round quarterbacks from 2024. |
| 0:05.8 | Whoa. |
| 0:06.6 | In the early action on Sunday, five of them played and four of them won. |
| 0:11.5 | And Michael Pennix, Jr. lost to one of the others. |
| 0:14.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:14.3 | Drake May. |
| 0:15.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:15.3 | That was something. |
| 0:16.1 | They had a chance to go five and one, but obviously the Seahawks last night beat the commanders. |
| 0:20.6 | We'll be talking about that coming up. For now, though. Man, I mean, this class is special. It's special. It really is. And we question J.J. McCarthy, and I know we'll talk about that later, but, I mean, again, he made big plays. It wasn't perfect game, but he certainly is not a deer in the headlights. And there was a lot of |

Do we ride with the unproven kid? Let's think about it. Actually, hang on for Daniel Jones more money than the Colts did. But Jones saw a better path to play an indie because he thought, you know, Kevin O'Connell can make anybody a good enough quarterback. |
| 1:28.7 | So more pressure on McCarthy to be that. |
| 1:31.1 | Then Aaron Rogers wants to play for him. |
