SUPERBOWL 50
|
Who's going to win? The New England Patriots What's going to be the best matchup? Cardinals vs. Patriots What is the most one-sided matchup? Panthers vs. Broncos Who's going to be league MVP? Tom Brady (or Cam Newton if Roger Goodell if he has his way) Who's going to be superbowl MVP? Tom Brady or Gronk if he does bad. Will Peyton manning retire? Yes he is old and bad. Who's going to win?? Arizona 33....New England 20 Super Bowl MVP? Larry Fitzgerald League MVP? Cam Newton Will Manning retire? Eventually, yes, but not now. He will play for one more season after this. He is neither old nor bad. He is still in the Top Five to seven QBs in the NFL. When he's healthy, of course. BTW, that list looks like this...--in no particular order----.Aaron Rodgers; Carson Palmer; Cam Newton; Kirk Cousins; Tony Romo (when healthy); Peyton Manning; and the very underrated Ryan Fitzpatrick of the Jets. (Yeah, you heard me right: put him on any of the playoff teams and see what he would do. See what he would do with Brady or Palmer or Cam's Offensive line. He would throw for over 4000 yards and 30 TDs, that's what! LOL) Next years's biggest Bounce Back Teams....The Cowboys, who might win it all if Romo stays healthy. And the Lions, who will go to the NFL finals. The Raiders will be the AFC Surprise, going 11-5 and making it to the AFC finals. Remember where ya heard all this! LOL See what he would do with Brady or Palmer or Cam's Offensive line Brady is the best quarterback in the league. There can not be a dispute. His offensive line sucks. He doesn't throw picks. He is a good leader. He expects greatness from himself and all around him, elevating the play of his teammates. He isn't afraid of taking hits. He doesn't take stupid risks. And the stats show it all. You can't argue that the fact that he had good teammates made him good. You could say Belichick made him good. But he has been consistently number one, even when he had horrible receivers. Everyone else you named is pretty good, but some of them are just slingers and often get lucky: -Tony Romo -Aaron Rodgers -Ryan Fitzpatrick Others have recently had better stats due to having good receivers: -Carson Palmer -Ryan Fitzpatrick -Kirk Cousins --------------------------------- I respect Peyton Manning, but he just isn't good anymore. He is the best mentally (arguably behind brady), but physically he is too weak and old. He threw 17 interceptions. They weren't ill advised passes like almost everyone you named throws. He just didn't release them with the correct power. Find me a stat that shows he is currently better than Blake Bortles, Tom Brady, or even his brother right now. --------------------------------- He is neither old nor bad. He is still in the Top Five QBs in the NFL. When he's healthy, of course. Did you and I watch the same season? He's old, long past his prime. He's just lost his touch. I wouldn't expect him to play for another season; he's smart enough to know that would hurt the team. Top 5 QBs, IMO, are: 1) Tom Brady 2) Cam Newton 3) Big Ben (incredibly underrated, too) 4) Carson Palmer 5) Andy Dalton 1

I don't care how this sounds do you but sports, the NFL at least are rigged for the most part. I know a guy who's been calling games for years now. IK this probably sounds silly and unreal and honestly I don't care if you dont believe me, we will just have to see if his predictions come true. His website: http://freetofindtruth.blogspot.com/ He also has a 4 part video series(Would be one big one but youtube restricted his time limit) here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ 1

Peyton Manning is one of the best QB's of all time. He holds ten times more records than Tom Brady. Peyton Manning only threw 17 interceptions because he was recovering from several previous injuries.The Broncos also have a much better defense than the Patriots. Not to mention that the Broncos BEAT the Patriots the last time they played. While Patriots fans may argue this was because of the absence of Edelman, the Broncos were missing Peyton Manning and many players on the defense including but not exclusive to Chris Harris Jr. and Von Miller. It is for these reasons that I believe the Broncos will at least make it to the Super Bowl. We were missing EVERYONE, not just edelman. We only had brady to lead us on offense; that too without an o-line. Peyton Manning's injury was because of his age and his inability to play through injury. It is true, Manning is one of the GOATs. But TB12 is THE GOAT. And Peyton Manning is done. He's old and tired and broken. Osweiler is currently better than him physically, he just needs to learn how to read a defense. the pats offense and especially O-line and recievers are completely rejuvenated and ready to beat the Broncos 1
