## Resource

NFL Analytics Schedule Planning Manager Max St. John joins Kevin Sheehan to provide an inside look at how the NFL schedule is constructed, breaking down the league’s process for balancing competitive fairness, television windows, travel demands, primetime exposure, and marquee matchups throughout the season. Then, Kevin opens the discussion to listeners by asking which NFL quarterbacks are truly capable of leading their teams to a conference championship this season, sparking debate across both conferences before offering his own predictions and evaluating where Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels fits into the evolving landscape of elite NFL passers.
