We have the new "Comeback King"

Ran across this while I was perusing Panthers news this morning. It's a pretty cool read (bonus points from me for knowing what a shounen manga was).

"One of the evergreen storylines in professional football over the past several years is how Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers"has done it again". Like the overpowered protagonist of a shounen manga, Rodgers has time and again done the improbable in clutch situations, leading his Packers kicking and screaming to victory in games where they appeared to be down for the count. Any Rodgers comeback, such as the one he led in Week Six against the San Francisco 49ers, is almost always met with the NFL's muses singing the praises of how absolutely amazing and perfect he is in every way.

There's one problem with that narrative: Rodgers doesn't have the most fourth quarter comebacks among NFL quarterbacks. Cam Newton, of the Carolina Panthers, does."

It doesn't seem like he has that many. Probably the most lowkey clutch I've ever seen.

I'll admit, I was pleasantly surprised myself.

The media loves its narratives and rarely will let facts change them. That goes for pretty much all media, not just the sports outlets.

I need to see the receipts. Is this the most 4th quarter comebacks since 2011, or most comebacks in general? Because I cannot believe that he has more than Brady who has 10 years on Cam.

Cam is nowhere near the top in career comeback wins

Would only be possible if it's "since entering the league (2011)"

Andy Dalton has more in the same timeframe.

Career wise, Rodgers has 19 and Cam has 17

You guys are going to let something insignificant like facts get in the way of a good article. SMH

I seem to remember a knock on Cam the first season or two was that he couldn't lead a team back from a large deficit.
