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

    • It’s a fan message board. Fans are going to debate players. Especially the QB. I hope no one is genuinely upset about any of the dialogue on here. 
    • Teddy Bridgewater was a check down QB….saying that doesn’t mean that he literally can’t and won’t throw downfield in a season.  Bryce Young was never drafted to be big armed downfield passer.  I don’t get those out defending him when it’s pointed out that he just  isn’t that.   And finding a game or two where he goes downfield doesn’t change much.  Because all QBs eventually go downfield.  Just like a Delhomme or Favre will play it safe in some random games.  Doesn’t mean they aren’t gunslingers that got gambling in their DNA. 
    • Yeah, Fitzgerald was smart to sign with the panthers--not sure how many NFL teams were in the Market....I was surprised to see Morgan re-sign Tuttle and Ray--even if Ray's contract is completely unguaranteed--but with Brown, Wharton, Brown III, Robinson, Cam Jackson--maybe Crumedy--Tuttle could be excellent depth--but at DE, not DT, imo.  Once again, it appears that Morgan may have found UDFAs who have a shot making the team--last year, there were 2 who contributed in a meaningful way.  This year, I see CBs Thornton and Reid with a legitimate shot to make the roster.  I also think LB Nomura has a legit shot (Morgan has to love this guy) as well as LB Bam Martin Smith from USC.  Finally, I think one of the safeties will stick. In all, I expect 1-2 CBs, 1 LB, 1 S, 1 OL, 1 K to make this team. Predictions:   CBs Thornton and Reid make the 53-man roster.  LB Tuasivi Nomura makes the 53-man roster as a ST ace and ILB depth OL Michael Tarquin may make the roster to groom as a potential RT replacement for Moton.  Moton, BC, and Nijman are on expiring contracts.  While I like what I am hearing about Kandra, the OG room is very crowded.  Lewis, Hunt, Zavala, Kingston--but he could compete for the 4th G job. S:  Trevian Thomas, Isaac Gifford are probably the front runners, but Jack Henderson from Minnesota might be able to win a S spot as well.  I expect all three will not make the 53, but the darkhorse name to watch is Henderson. Henderson's Pro day: Minnesota DB Jack Henderson had arguably the BEST overall workout of any Safety in this entire draft: 40yd. 4.47 vertical. 40” Broad. 10’8” Shuttle. 4.15 3cone. 6.70 Bench. 12
