The superbowl thread

Manning deserves it and they are an overall better team. Let me be the first to get the 2 weeks prior to the Super Bowl started with this:

Since no one else will ever know what you're talking about Doc, I guess I should confess and explain that you noticed right away that I had put the Patriots in instead of the Colts.
With that, I guess we can get back to the topic at hand...
I think this could be a very interesting matchup. I like the Bears defense and I think any team with a coach named "Lovey" deserves a win.

My roommate would have a fit if I was pulling for anyone but the Bears. He's a lifelong fan. I guess I have to stick with my preseason pick, since I DID pick the Bears to win it all in the beginning. I think they should redo the Super Bowl Shuffle if they win in 2 weeks...Urlacher would look so damn funny trying to rap, would be hilarious!

Well, with me wanting the matchups to be the Saints Vs. the Patriots, I'm pretty much upset with the whole thing.
I really dislike Manning as a player for soem reason...I love his commercials and his persona, but as a player it's a whole nother story...And I can't explain it.
And Rex Grossman is the worst QB ever to bring a team to the Superbowl.
So...I really don't care who wins...If I wasn't a Super Bowl commercial junkie I wouldn't even watch.

I'm not a big Rex fan at all, but keep in mind that this is really his first full season that he has played in NFL. He is like our Darko Milicic Potential is there but way too incosistent.
I wouldn't say that Rex got us to Superbowl. I give more props to Robbie Gould (can you believe he was undrafted and working construction a year ago) and all the other guys on the team.

Rex is no great QB by any means but the media is piling on him unmercifully and its reached mythical proportions. If he sucks so bad why is Lovie Smith sticking with him when he has a capable backup?
Not counting the losers here are the worst QBs to have won superbowls in the past 20 years (I'm 32 and can't comment intelligently on anything before 1980)
Brad Johnson
Trent Dilfer
Kurt Warner
Jeff Hostettler
Doug Williams
Dilfer, Hoss and Williams are particularly notable since they are essentially career backups. Warner had 2 or 3 good seasons on a high powered offense but has otherwise proven to be one of the worst starting QBs I've ever seen.
Rex is still young enough to have a better career than all of those guys plus a few others (Jim McMahon and Mark Rypien) as well.

Wouldn't be the same without "Sweetness!"
When my teams are out, I try to root for a favorite player or coach who hasn't won. i.e. Elway, Jim Kelly, unless the Steelers are in it,in which case I will root for ANYONE, (even the Cowboys) against them. I like Manning, and I think Dungy deserves to win a ring as a coach. So
GO COLTS!!!!

I'm not sure how you're defining "worst." Warner had just completed a league-MVP season throwing 41 TDs with a 109.2 rating.
Dilfer had recently been a Pro Bowler, and was a consistent veteran, with 77 TD passes over the previous 5 years.
Brad Johnson was a two-time Pro Bowl selection with 140 TD passes in his 12-year career.
Doug Williams was a 7-year veteran with 98 TDs under his belt.
I'll give you Hostetler. At that point he was an unknown, and never became more than average, but he made a nice long career out of it.
Grossman has proven thus far only that he is wildly inconsistent. There were four games this season in which he had 0 TDs and three or more INTs. And Indy leads all teams with 5 postseason INTs already.
A side note on mobility... Dan Marino set the bar for statuesqueness with 87 rushing yards over 17 years. Rex has a shot at breaking that record with a grand total of 2 this season.
OK, I don't want to just pile on Rex... he has shown flashes of brilliance (or luminosity, at least) and this is only his first real year of action. But I don't think it's any stretch at all to characterize this Super Bowl as featuring the greatest disparity between quarterbacks of any SB to date.
