Episode 37 (8/22/22): The Sports Guru’s Return - Ranking All 32 NFL Starting Quarterbacks and Highlighting Notable Backups, Which Jones Will Have The Better Season: Daniel or Mac?

The sports guru Mike Hurley returns to the podcast with his elite expertise and football knowledge to help break down all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks with Joey based on how they think each signal-caller will perform this year. Joey and Mike start out by ranking their top 5 quarterbacks in order from 1 through 5 (2:06-12:27) and (12:28-20:30).After that, the next tier they discuss is which quarterbacks sit in the 6 through 10 range (20:33-28:10) and then, the 11 through 20 domain (28:11-1:06:00). During that segment of quarterbacks 11-20, they go on a 10-minute rant on Daniel Jones and where Joey has him placed in his rankings (29:19-40:00). During the argument, Joey points out all of Daniel Jones’ improved surroundings: a new offensive coordinator, an offensive-minded head coach with success as a playcaller, and a competent general manager. They debate where Saquon Barkley was drafted in the 2018 NFL Draft and where Daniel Jones was selected in 2019, both of which Joey would do all over again.Following that, Joey and Mike move down the list and rank their bottom 12 quarterbacks in the 21 through 32 range (1:06:00-1:21:57). At the end, they highlight notable backups and talk about where they would place them in their rankings if they were to play a majority of the season (1:21:57-1:29:25). To close out the episode, Joey and Mike reflect on their overall rankings and which player was the biggest surprise in each of their lists (1:29:25). The sports guru and Joey will have another episode out tomorrow on division predictions and where each team will place.
