50th Super Bowl: Manning’s Broncos face Newton’s Panthers
Ticket prices ahead of Super Bowl 50 between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers are at an all-time high.
“I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to”, Newton said.
It will be a memorable Super Bowl no matter what happens.
That’s QB Leadership 101, Super Bowl style, a formula that works in any culture or era.
“Everything we get, we’re going to cherish it, embrace it. Bring it to us in Santa Clara because I can tell you one thing, once we get up there it’s still going to be the same formula”. This is the quintessential “Old School vs. New School” matchup: The 13 year, 48 day age difference between Manning (39) and Newton (26) is the largest between starting QBs in Super Bowl history.
Rivera served as defensive coordinator for Lovie Smith when the Bears won back-to-back NFC North division titles and a trip to Super Bowl XLI.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera, who became a head coach the same year that Newton was drafted in 2011, seemed puzzled as to why Newton is still polarizing to some.
The Super Bowl potentially could be Manning’s final National Football League game and, if so, he will attempt to make a glorious exit in the way that his boss, Broncos executive John Elway, once did.
The one big thing the Cardinals must focus on in 2016 is sensibly shoring up their front seven in order to generate a more effective pass rush. We’re gonna play a team that we are completely unfamiliar with. I knew Von very well because he was right down the street from us (at Texas A&M).
Young threw for 3,969 yards, 35 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions to break the best passer rating mark held by Montana and also broke Joe Cool’s record of most touchdown passes in a Super Bowl with six. And when I say “Panthers”, I mean everyone in the organization.
“Don’t change”, Rivera said. “I think we came to show up who we really are, and that’s what thieves do”. One of us has to win, and I’m not trying to lose. “But we’ll be ready to go in two weeks”. The area of the airport where the players get off the plane and go to their vehicles is inaccessible by the general public. “I’m just sticking to what he had for me, and this was a tremendous honor to get to the NFC championship by getting cut by Tampa and being able to make some plays here (in Arizona)”. “To me, this victory sort of is a great example of what this entire season has been like”.
