Super Bowl: Mike Tolbert doesn’t care about Peyton’s rodeo
Cameras caught the 39-year-old quarterback’s exchange with New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick after last weekend’s epic 20-18 Denver win at Mile High Stadium.
The public sentiment in Super Bowl 50 is behind the Panthers (betting-wise), but the public is sentimental about Peyton Manning. That bet is in line with most wagers by gamblers who think the Panthers will defeat the Broncos in Super Bowl 50.
They didn’t exchange much of anything, they really just took a beating. No confirmation on that whatsoever. “We are on to Carolina”.
Several Panthers defenders on Thursday said Manning’s arm strength has not dropped off, a topic that has been debated all season. Manning is an all-time great, but does he have enough in the tank to knock off a Carolina team that has only lost once this season? Even though he’s got some age on him, he’s ‘The Sheriff.’ If I even get the ball from him, if he throws an interception or something and the guy allows me to be there for it, I’m probably going to bow to him. He’ll have to answer those questions.
Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas echoed Kubiak’s comments and said players are just “assuming” that Manning will choose to retire. They will land at San Jose International Airport on Sunday afternoon and stay in Santa Clara.
Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly, 24, remembers rooting for Manning as a middle schooler in Cincinnati.
While there are a handful of others worthy of the designation as the game’s preeminent player, which is certainly a subjective argument, Newton has tangibly proved to have earned the title this season.
“DeMarcus said he’d need to take some time to think about it and weigh in”, Manning said.
“When he came in here, he had won a lot of football games, and to be able to come in and get us back to the Super Bowl has been tremendous… he’s done a tremendous job of managing the quarterback situation”. You don’t see him dancing. He said he harbors no ill-will toward the 49ers. “That’s the biggest thing what people have to understand, he’s a consummate pro, he’s going to know you, he’s going to understand you, he’s going to attack you the best way he knows”, Rivera said. “It’s nothing personal. My mind-set and my focus is on this game and doing whatever I can do”.
Win Super Bowl 50, and Manning would become the first quarterback in league history to win a Lombardi Trophy with two different teams. “That’s my only goal”.
