Albert Breer· Nov 5, 2025
Breer predicts Brock Purdy and Jacoby Brissett will be the starting quarterbacks in the Week 11 Cardinals-49ers game, and expects the Colts to commit to Daniel Jones going forward. He also thinks the top of the 2026 draft is weak while the 2027 class is strong, and names Kyler Murray and Tua as potential 2026 reclamation projects.
