Lamar Jackson will now go scorched earth on the NFL
Oct 2900:25:55Tap to summarizeThe 2-5 Baltimore Ravens just may morph themselves into the AFC's most feared team. Lamar Jackson waited a little longer. His hamstring is healed. And now? This schedule softens up, starting with a game Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins. Here's a quick solo pod taking a look at the quarterback and the team that has a realistic chance at running the table. I also mentioned Jackson's private QB coach at one point. Those previous pods can be heard here and here. Subscribe to Go Long for full longform NFL coverage. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Transcribe →The J.J. McCarthy Conundrum: A chat with Matthew Coller on the present & future of the Vikings QB
Oct 2800:32:15Tap to summarizeThis 2025 Minnesota Vikings is now all about one man: quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The pressure's on... especially with how Sam Darnold is playing in Seattle and Daniel Jones is playing in Indianapolis. Both players were in the Vikings' building last season. Not to mention, Bo Nix is lighting it up for the Denver Broncos. He was an option in the 2024 draft. To get answers on everything McCarthy, I'm joined by Matthew Coller of Purple Insider. In theory, the Vikings have the right coaches, the right weaponry and even a pair of solid tackles. Operating on McCarthy's rookie contract, they made a point to pay up for players in free agency, too. Things haven't gone according to plan. The Vikings are now in danger of falling out of the playoff race early. They play at Detroit this week. Above all, they need to figure out if McCarthy is their guy. Nothing matters more. Coller supplies fantastic insight on the inexperienced quarterback who's finally healthy from a high ankle sprain. For complete longform NFL coverage, subscribe to Go Long at GoLongTD.com.

Transcribe →Jordan Love's Finest Hour: A Green Bay Packers chat with Peter Bukowski
Oct 2800:31:53Tap to summarizeFor all of the talk about Aaron Rodgers into Packers-Steelers on SNF, this was always a Jordan Love moment... and he delivered. Here on the Go Long Podcast, I'm joined by Peter Bukowski of The Leap and Locked On Packers to make sense of Love torching the Steelers. We've been in on this quarterback for a long time. Miss our column at Go Long on the game? Here's my take on Brian Gutekunst, Love and the Packers. On the pod, we drive the conversation forward. Patience paid off. The Super Bowl is officially the bar year-in and year-old for this team. It's time to let Love, the $55 million man, cook in this Matt LaFleur offense. Be sure to rate, review and share if you enjoy.

Transcribe →"American Kings" with author Seth Wickersham
Oct 2701:00:48Tap to summarizeYou've got the football in your hands every play. You absorb all fame, all glory, all blame, all PTSD associated with the position. There's no profession quite like American Quarterback. But what are the roots of the position itself? How did it become so worshiped and mythologized and scrutinized? ESPN Senior Writer Seth Wickersham took on this sprawling project with his book, "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback." Purchase it here. With exceptional access to the best quarterbacks in NFL history, including Steve Young, John Elway and the Mannings, Seth brings the position of Quarterback to life as only he can. Man, I loved this conversation. We get into the book, the profession, the hunt for NFL truth and so much more... capping of course with some Caleb Williams talk.

Oct 2400:53:31Tap to summarizeBaker Mayfield is squarely in the MVP hunt. Sam Darnold's renaissance rages on in the Pacific Northwest. And raise your hand if you saw the Daniel Jones revival coming. Elsewhere, Carson Wentz's fairy tale story isn't so merry. Aaron Rodgers? It is... complicated.

Transcribe →Warren Moon on his trailblazing Hall of Fame career, power of belief and mentoring Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward
Oct 2200:45:49Tap to summarizeThe NFL wasn't ready for an African-American star quarterback in the late 70s. Warren Moon forced the league's hand. We chat with the legendary Pro Football Hall of Famer all about his unparalleled rise from to the University of Washington to the CFL to nine-time Pro Bowl passer. Moon previously hung out with Go Long subscribers on a Happy Hour. He's now opening up on the burden he carried as a star in college and the pros. Moon never really was able to enjoy all of his success and openly wonders how he would've performed with a clear mind. But today? His impact on the sport is obvious every Sunday. We also get into his mentorship of No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward. He's always giving the Titans quarterback advice. Which QBs does Moon like to watch today? Josh Allen is near the top of his list.

Transcribe →Ty & Bob Pod S4 E7: J.J. McCarthy Decision, Micah Parsons' obliteration, Bears go 4-2, Lions lower boom
Oct 2202:03:45Tap to summarizeThings are heating up. Once again, the NFC North is shaping into the league’s best division. A year ago, Sam Darnold was a major reason why… and the Minnesota Vikings decided to use their money elsewhere in the offseason. J.J. McCarthy’s ankle is still hurting. After Carson Wentz’s struggles vs. Philadelphia on Sunday, we can’t help but look back at the team’s monumental quarterback decision. Elsewhere, the Green Bay Packers’ all-in trade for Micah Parsons continues to look genius. He was a menace in the desert. Chicago’s run game was more of a freight train against the Saints. Ben Johnson’s off to a strong start. And that decimated Lions secondary edged Tampa Bay’s decimated receiving corps. Here’s your weekly two-hour dissection of everything NFC North with Pro Football Hall of Famer Bob McGinn. Paid subscribers to GoLongTD.com can access an ad-free version of this episode. Miss our feature on Lions defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad? It's right here. Also, here's the piece on Ty'Ron Hopper mentioned on the pod. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
