Episode 116: SB Nation National Columnist Thomas George

Bill and Jamal are joined by SB Nation national columnist, Thomas George. George discusses his fascinating new book, Blitzed: Why NFL Teams Gamble On Starting Rookie Quarterbacks. The three discuss the tough decision NFL teams make when deciding whether to immediately start or sit a highly touted rookie quarterback, the big hits and big misses over the years, and quarterbacks that have simply been pleasant surprises, such as Tom Brady or Dak Prescott. Thomas, Bill and Jamal also talk again about the Colin Kaepernick effect and the current state of player protest in the NFL, how it has evolved since Kaepernick first took a knee in 2016, and how Kaepernick's and other players' protests will be viewed in the history books.
