It's 2023, and Joe Flacco is an ELITE quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and about to lead them to their first Super Bowl championship

It feels like half the teams in the NFL are starting backup QBs now, but not all of them are bad. The Colts Gardner Minshew lead them to an overtime win over the rival Titans, Browns legend Joe Flacco looked solid for Cleveland, and Jake Browning won AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the Bengals!Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VeteranAndRookiePodcast

Last week, the Veteran picked against his Packers for the first time this season. And of course, he got it wrong. So after this week he will never again pick against his beloved Packers.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VeteranAndRookiePodcast
Just over half way through the 2023 season, no one is really standing out as the MVP, opening the door for rookie quarterback CJ Stroud, who could become the 2nd rookie ever to take home the MVP award. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VeteranAndRookiePodcast
The Baltimore Ravens look like one of the best teams in the NFL right now, and with some of the usual powerhouses in the league struggling, they might be the best in the NFL, maybe only behind our guests favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles. David is back on the show this week and recaps week 9 and previews week 10 along with the veteran this episode.

The NFL trade deadline came and went, and while it was nothing too crazy, there were some juicy trades, from Chase Young to the 49ers to Josh Dobbs to play QB for the Vikings now.
Welcome back to the Veteran and Rookie Podcast, just with no rookie today so we brought back Kyleigh from the offseason to take his place. It was a great week in the NFL for 1 win teams, with the Bears, Broncos and Patriots all getting their 2nd wins of the season.

And just like that, there are no more undefeated teams in the NFL. The Jets and Browns of all teams spoiled the Eagles and 49ers undefeated seasons. And looking at Philadelphia's schedule, they've got a tough slate coming up, starting against Miami. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VeteranAndRookiePodcast
The Green Bay Packers have been a roller coaster so far this season, and much of has to do with the play of quarterback Jordan Love. He's had his good, bad and ugly moments so far this season, but these things take time.
Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VeteranAndRookiePodcast
Four weeks into the NFL season and a couple of the top drafted quarterbacks are looking really good, namely Anthony Richardson & CJ Stroud. That doesn't mean the Carolina Panthers should panic, but you'd defiantly like to see Bryce Young take some strides this season and get on the level of the other rookie quarterbacks.

Many teams dominated their competition in week 3, namely the Miami Dolphins, who put up 70 on the lowly Denver Broncos. Kansas City and Buffalo had there way on Sunday too, and two of them face off this week in what could be a huge game in the AFC East!Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VeteranAndRookiePodcast
In the offseason, we hyped up the AFC North as the best division in the NFL. And there's still plenty of the season left, but two weeks in it doesn't look pretty, with three of the teams looking like they have non-existent offenses.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VeteranAndRookiePodcast
A week into the 2023 NFL season and it's already full of twist & turns. The top 3 quarterbacks all disappointed, while others like Jordan Love and Tua Tagovailoa stepped up big time for their teams. But it's only week 1, and a lot's gonna change between now and the playoffs.

After a somewhat controversial but mostly fun championship Sunday, we've got a 1-week break before the Super Bowl. So after recapping the two games from this past week, we take a look at the Pro Bowl rosters, and there's at least 1 selection that sets itself apart from the rest.
Championship Sunday is coming up, and only four teams remain. Today we look at last week's slightly disappointing divisional round and preview the two Sunday games.

Going into the penultimate week of the regular season, we might be looking at the game of the year in week 17, Bills vs Bengals. And if the Denver Broncos can pull off an upset against Kansas City, this Monday night game could very well be for the top seed in the AFC.

Just when we started believing in the Tennessee Titans, they go out and lose by 25 to the Philadelphia Eagles. This comes after a close loss to a good Bengals team and getting blown out by the Bills back in week 2.

Week 12 is here already, and we've got ourselves some pretty big Thanksgiving games coming up tomorrow. But first, we discuss the past week of football, like what's up with the Vikings, and can they recover in time for Thursday Night?
The Veteran and Rookie are coming off their first NFL game experience, which is why the last couple of episodes have been different. Today we talk about it a bit, as well as preview week 11 (Even though by the time this comes out it's mostly done)
Right before heading to Green Bay, the Veteran and Rookie discuss what the Packers should do after their disappointing loss to the Lions.
Even though this was recorded before thursdays matchup between the Eagles and Texans, that doesn't change this podcast. Philadelphia continues to dominate their compotition, advancing to 8-0 on the season. Are they for real, or are they like the 2021 Cardinals and 2020 Steelers?
This week's episode features just the Veteran going solo. Brady and Rodgers are both coming off of losses to former XFL quarterbacks, and most of the NFL continues to look mid. It feels like after one of the most exciting NFL offseasons, this NFL season feels almost underwhelming.
For the first time in the Matt LeFleur era, the Packers have lost back-to-back games. And they didn't just lose, they lost badly, especially this past week against the New York Jets. It is a long season, but early on things aren't looking good in Green Bay.
Watch the Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmEzugOOOlPtmGvsELJVqUA
The New York Giants now sit at 4-1, and most people going into the season thought they would only win 4 games the entire season. But with that, are the Giants really that good?
Throughout four weeks, the Detroit Lions have been putting up 35 points per game! The only problem... their defense gives up 35.3 points per game, leading to them starting the season 1-3.
In this episode, we look over our pick-em records and draft points so far and lemme tell you, both of us are off to poor starts. Luckily it's a long season, and we've both got time to bounce back.
Even though only three weeks of football have been played, it's still fun to look ahead and see who we think the MVP should be, and we get into that a bit today, playing start bench cut with the three current favorites to win the award, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson! We also recap this past week of football, and preview week 4!
Wow, week 2 was crazy! Several comebacks, and a few teams righting the ship after disappointing week one performances. The AFC East and starting to get interesting, from the Dolphins 21 point comeback, the Jets 14 point comeback, and the Bills continuing to dominate! (sorry Patriots, you're kinda just there) Will the madness continue into week 3?
Week 1 did not go as expected, especially with the veteran going 4-11-1 with his game picks. So now we either have a better feeling of this NFL season, or we're overacting just like everyone else, or maybe both.
Similar to last week, today we draft for what we think will be the best game, the biggest blowout, the upset of the week, our lock of the week, and our player of the week!
The NFL season is officially here, and with that, we're going to preview week 1! But instead of being boring and talking about every game this week, we drafted teams for 5 different categories: Most Exciting Game, The Biggest Blowout, the Upset of the Week, The Biggest Injury, and the Player of the Week! But once a game has been picked for a category, neither of the teams can be drafted for any other category.
The 2022 NFL season is just around the corner, and we're going to spoil it all for you guys. With 100% accuracy, we predicted every game, including the Super Bowl LVII Champions, along with the MVP.
Welcome back to the Veteran & Rookie Podcast! Today we had the original idea to rank every starting quarterback in the NFL going into the 2022 season, and also Jimmy Garoppolo because he's good enough to be a starter.
The Veteran and Rookie Podcast is a Football show featuring Benaiah Newhall (The Veteran) and Jon Colton (The Rookie). Together, these two white men release their football opinions (more like facts) onto the internet for all to enjoy.
Today we discuss our history with the game, last years Fantasy Football, Trevon Diggs, Dick "Thunderbolt" Lane, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, just to name a few.
