Quarterback "Storylines"
Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2021 7:57 am
Teams win championships, not just their quarterbacks.
However with the final four of NFL pro football playing for a SB championship, some very interesting storylines. Other than perhaps Vegas of course, who else could have written a better script than Tom Brady joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and taking his team to a SB win in --get this-- Tampa Bay ? Or is it Tompra Bray ?
Either way, Brady has a chance to do something no quarterback has ever done since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger.
Win seven SBs, you say ? That too but become the first QB to win SB games in two seperate conferences, with different teams. Only Van Brocklin and Peyton Manning had won with different teams, though Brocklin did it in different divisions. A loss to either Rodgers and the Pack or the AFC Champion would be his eighth championship game, lost.
Mahomes has his own storyline, very similar to Brady. He could not only lead his Chiefs team to back-to-back SB victories but be the first since Brady did it for NE in 2003/04 and 2004/05. Mahomes can also do, what hasnt been done since Brady as well ... win two SB games, his first four years in the League. Pure speculation of course since he has to pass concussion protocol, then win the AFC Championship game first, his third straight appearance.
Josh Allen is another young pup who can help his Bills team win their first SB but one thing is for certain; a younger QB from the AFC will face an older veteran from the NFC, for the Super Bowl championship ...
The other older veteran is of course Aaron Rodgers, who has his own storyline by trying to join the elite greats of multiple championship winning QBs, if he can take his Packer team all the way. Despite being a future HOF player, he is far more noteworthy for his regular season statistical excellence than winning more than one championship, something Steve Young, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning had to endure for many years, at least until Manning finally got that elusive second championship.
Great storylines ... just how the networks want it. Hopefully the fans will enjoy them by witnessing intense, competitive close games between the best of the best, teams ...
