Super Bowl 50: 10 worst quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl
For me watching, it was a competitive enviousness that I grew, and I was like, ‘Dang, he gets it.’ From grabbing D-tackles and D-ends and orchestrating lifts, because now (Panthers defensive coordinator) Sean McDermott, who is a hell of a coach, but his job is easier because he’s got players like Luke and (LB) Thomas Davis playing for him.
Oher is having his best statistical season, and the Panthers (17-1) are the highest-scoring offense in the league and will play the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl on Sunday. A Super Bowl Champ as a player, Rivera looks to become just the fourth person in National Football League history to win the Super Bowl both as a player and a head coach. “I don’t get it. I don’t know what you guys want to know, man, but it is what it is”.
“(Football) is something that you’re always going to be passionate about, something that you’ve always loved, going out there and getting paid for it, so why not enjoy it?”
This is probably the biggest advantage for the Panthers over the Broncos in the Super Bowl. Among them is one is a retired city administrator from San Francisco who can’t wait to show visitors how the Bay Area does football proud.
“Well I’m trilingual myself”, Newton said. As we all know, the team that wins the turnover battle usually wins the game. “Panthers fans have been awesome to us and I’m proud to be here and happy to be a Carolina Panther”. “They will come…. I’m a patient guy and I’m ready whenever the opportunity presents itself”. “We play as a team”.
They attend movies together, gather to play video games at Newton’s condominium and travel together to find a food truck on their hoverboards during a break from team meetings – at least until Rivera outlawed the vehicles from the facility.
He’ll be matched up against All-Pro Von Miller and Pro Bowler DeMarcus Ware at different points during the game.
It is exhilarating when real life intrudes on Super Bowl Week, something serious for a change. “It’s not a good feeling at all”.
He has watched Manning so intently the past couple of months to learn whatever he can from the five-time NFL MVP, noting, “I even picked the seat beside him in the team meeting room just to get his energy”. He has had tough stretches before when he didn’t get as many chances as he’d like.
“Let me see it”, Peyton Manning asked excitedly.
Panthers center Ryan Kalil said Oher had the flawless personality to fit in on Carolina’s comedic offensive line. “I have a bad habit of saying, ‘Just one more.’ And one more can turn into 10 more”.
“We’re hoping to get something done with Brock this offseason”, Elway said. And he is very thorough, and a big part of it is finding guys who fit what we do….
Aqib Talib – The talented cornerback will have his work cut out trying to stop either Greg Olsen or Tedd Ginn, but he’s one of the best cover corners in the business, and we expect him to do good things against Newton’s arm. His versatility also has allowed the Broncos to run more two- and three-tight end sets. “He’s been a great addition to our team”.
