3 of 4 QBs remaining have already won a Super Bowl

Patriots - Brady gets his 4th ring at age 37, his 1st in 10 years, giving him the most all-time along with Montana and Bradshaw. Might have a few years left to get his 5th

Packers - Rodgers gets his 2nd ring at age 31, his 2nd in 5 years

Seahawks - Russell Wilson gets his 2nd ring at age 26 in just his third year. Becomes the 8th QB with consecutive SB wins after Brady, Elway, Aikman, Montana, Bradshaw (twice), HOFer Bob Griese, and Bart Starr

If Rodgers or Wilson get their 2nd ring, they will be tied with the 6th-most all-time SB wins alongside Elway, Staubach, Bart Starr, etc. And they will have plenty of time left to get their 3rd, which would put them alongside Tom Brady, Trok Aikman and Steve Young as the only QBs with 3 rings (and just behind Montana and Bradshaw)

Colts - Andrew Luck gets his 1st ring at age 25 in just his third year, putting him alongside other QBs with one ring like Peyton Manning, Brees, Rodgers, Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas, Favre, etc

Yup, and five of the eight playing this past weekend are among the seven QBs with rings.

 

Think about this, if New England wins next week then that will mean eleven of the past twelve AFC representatives in the Super Bowl will have been quarterbacked by Brady, Manning, or Roethlisberger.  Yay parity!!!

how 2014's final four QBs fared (regular season & postseason combined) in their first three years as a starter:

40-12* (76.9%) Tom Brady 2001-03.........2-0 in Super Bowls

41-13 (75.9%) Russell Wilson 2012-14....1-0 in Super Bowls

36-17 (67.9%) Andrew Luck 2012-14........0-0 in Super Bowls

31-22 (58.5%) Aaron Rodgers 2008-10.....1-0 in Super Bowls

* Brady did not start the first two games for the Patriots in 2001

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
