The Ringer NFL Show

Aaron Rodgers is one of the most prominent faces of the NFL—and also one of the league's most controversial figures. As he begins what could be a legacy-cementing season with the Jets, Nora Princiotti takes a look back at his evolution from a media darling and almost-host of 'Jeopardy!' to a lightning rod of a cultural figure who peddles conspiracy theories.

The Carolina Panthers have benched sophomore quarterback Bryce Young in favor of Andy Dalton, leading The Ringer’s Sheil Kapadia to declare that the former no. 1 pick’s time in Carolina is likely coming to an end soon. Plus, he and Steven Ruiz discuss whether Derek Carr’s success is sustainable, and why Caleb Williams shouldn’t shoulder all the criticism in Chicago. But before all that, Nora Princiotti tells Sheil which 0-2 teams she believes could make a playoff run, as well as the teams she’s writing off. The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.
