TRAILER

'Luck' Trailer | Full Series Coming July 11th

This is the Andrew Luck story as you’ve never heard it: Why did the greatest quarterback prospect since John Elway walk away from the game before he turned 30? The Athletic’s Zak Keefer spoke with over 25 of Luck's former teammates, rivals, coaches, executives, staffers, friends, and journalists, in an attempt to peel back the curtain in a way that’s never been done before on one of the most unique NFL careers of the last three decades. Interviews include Jim Irsay, Tony Dungy, Chuck Pagano, Bruce Arians, Bill Polian, Chris Ballard, David Shaw, Robert Griffin III, Jacoby Brissett and Peter King. All six episodes of The Athletic's miniseries 'Luck' will be released on The Athletic Football Show feed on July 11th. Be sure to subscribe to The Athletic Audio+ on Apple Podcasts for bonus content, including the full interviews with David Shaw, Chuck Pagano and more.

A great show idea

Hello love the show! I was looking at some of my old stuff in my room and I found this paper that had an exercise that I want to share. Me and my grampa drafted the starting qbs on 5/13/2024 for the next three years I picked: MaHomes, Cj stroud, Lamar, Jalen Hurts, Dak, Tua, purdy, anthony Richardson, Jayden Daniels,Hebert, Caleb Williams, Will Levis, Adrion o Connell, drake Maye, Jj McCarthy, and Kyler. He picked Jared Goff, baker mayfield, Kirk cousins, Josh Allen, Jordon love, burrow, geno, Trevor Lawerence, A rod, Russ Wilson, Dashawn Watson, Derek Carr, Matt stafford, b.young, Danny dimes, and Bo nix. What do you think who did better? why? And why were some of these guys replaced?
Time stamps

Truly don’t understand how adding time stamps for every pod is difficult. I don’t want to listen to all 5 hours of a free agency breakdown, I want to listen to the guys talk about my team.
JJ McCarthy is not a Bust

I don’t understand how you guys continue to make JJ McCarthy out to be a simple bust in the NFL! This is insane!
hot take for yall to check out

I don't even know if you guys check Apple Podcasts but i have a hot take I'd love to hear yalls opinion on. I think that due to a crack down on defensive penalties (late hits, def pi, targeting, etc) offensive skill positions players have become less skillful over the past 20 years and inversely defensive players have become more skillful out of necessity. i don't think this applies to the line of scrimmage because it seems like the team that wins the line of scrimmage wins the game 75% of the time and I pray it stays that way. obviously players like JSN, mahomes, and CMC would succeed in any era but I think it is way easier to plan an offensive skill position that it was 20 years ago. whereas safeties, corners, and linebackers have it way harder. Imagine if you dropped freaks of nature like fred warner, derwin james, or nick emmanwori(definetly not seahawks homerism) with their current cell skill set into the 2008 season and they were able to hit and grab to their hearts content.
