The Starting 5 are back at the mics for another wild week in football. We break down all the biggest storylines from around the league — upsets, breakout performances, and who’s quietly fading fast. Then we dive deep into the new NFL trend taking over: rookie quarterbacks getting tossed straight into the fire with zero patience and no veteran mentor in sight. Are teams ruining future stars or just speeding up the learning curve?

As always, we wrap it up with our fan-favorite segments — “Stud or Dud” and “Bet the House” — plus a few hot takes you’ll definitely argue about in the group chat.
