Backup NFL QBs that will Become STARTERS in 2026 // Do Rebuilds Even Work?
Description
Which backup quarterback could shock the NFL and earn a starting job in 2026? Brian Peacock and Matt Williamson predict the most likely QB2s to rise, spotlighting names like Mac Jones, Malik Willis, and Tanner McKee. The hosts debate the value of rehab stints for struggling prospects such as Justin Fields, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis, analyzing which routes actually revive careers.
Team-building is front and center as the crew answers if complete tear-down rebuilds—swapping out GM, head coach, and quarterback—have ever truly paid off, citing the 49ers, Cowboys, and Patriots. They break down the Raiders’ roster woes, discuss possible Max Crosby trades, and examine whether the NFC outshines the AFC in power this season. Would you rather invest big in CJ Stroud or gamble on Bryce Young? Tune in for bold quarterback takes, NFL rebuilding strategies, and sharp roster analysis.
