October 13, 2025 QB Elation with Baker Mayfield, QB Panic with Jalen Hurts, And Colleen Wolfe Selects the Top Quentin Tarantino Character for Road Trips
Here are some takes: 1. Weird as it sounds to say about the reigning Super Bowl MVP, Jalen Hurts is officially holding the Eagles back. 2. NFL teams should make like MLB and hold locker-room celebrations after every playoff win. 3. The existence of Myles Garrett proves you shouldn’t break the bank on defensive players. Colleen Wolfe joins the show to address these knee jerk takes. Plus, Geoff Schwartz gives his thoughts on which QB will be taken first in the '26 NFL draft. Dave Dameshek and the gang crack open Week 6 on Football America!
