Broncos heap praise on Panthers leading up to Super Bowl 50

If Manning wins Super Bowl 50 on February 7, he will earn the remainder of the pay cut – $2 million – back.

On the latest episode of Bill Rhoden On Sports, Bill and I wrap up the NFC and AFC Championship games, talk about Cam Newton’s triumphant season and discuss the changing of the guard at quarterback, as it relates to Manning and Newton, but also the position in general. We’ve got to still go out on Super Bowl Sunday and we’ve still got to play that game.

Newton’s Carolina Panthers are 4-point favorites against Manning’s Denver Broncos, with the veteran passer set to become the oldest QB to ever start a Super Bowl game.

They hit Brady 23 times – more than he’d been hit in at least a decade – and 16 times more than Aaron Rodgers was walloped during the worst game of his career, in Denver on November 1. He also called on the league to investigate the claims as soon as possible. Both players are key components to their team’s success.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady passes the ball as he is taken down by Denver Broncos outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware during the second half of the AFC Championship game between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots, Sunday, Jan. 24, 2016, in Denver. “He’s just really, really been outstanding for a long time”.

Kubiak tried to turn the term game manager into a positive when asked about how Manning’s role on offense has changed in his offensive system. We may never see someone with the same football I.Q.as Peyton Manning, and he is certainly one-of-a-kind.

If any of these phrases make you panic or want to hide inside the over-sized jersey you’re wearing (despite the fact that you have no idea who Reggie White is, or if he’s still playing, or even what a defensive end really does), then don’t worry. But you do have to manage the football team.

Phil Simms on the AFC title game: “Early in the game, to give somebody like Peyton, who’s looking for confidence and to get that rhythm, all quarterbacks are, they let him get that”.

Therefore, 57 percent of the 42 most recent Super Bowls, including this upcoming Super Bowl, have been represented by either the Steelers, Patriots, or Broncos. Goodell said Brady “willfully obstructed” the investigation into tampering with the air of the balls used in that game.
