Watched a panel discussion on the NFL Playoffs. It was interesting and thought provoling.
They all agreed that the teams with the best bQBs have historically dominated the playoffs in the Super Bowl Era.
Lenny Dawson and Bart Starr at the very start, Terry Bradshaw, Jim Kelly, Manonica, Montana, Young, Aikman and Marion. Then we move into the modern era and Brady, Manning, Favre, Ryan, McNabb. Then they got to today and Allen, Burrow, Mahomes, Murray, Herbert and Hurts.
The point they were making is that every one of the successful teams had a quarterback that wasn't just a great player, they were also great leaders. They brought the whole thing into the now. They all agreed that the exception to the rule was Purdy. He hasn't played long enough to establish his legacy but one guy caused a stoppage and an argument when he said, "If you can't place Purdy in the same grouping as Allen and Hurts then what will you call Purdy if he and the 49ers win the Superbowl?" He really upset the panel when he said, Purdy is already ahead of Josh Allen because he's made it to the NFCCG and Allen has not.
Then they talked about other teams and how they might catch up. When they got to the Patriots the panel was split. They all agreed that Mac Jones was certainly able to play at the same level as the top three in the AFC, but he lacks that "look" or "Takeover attitude". Half of them said that he has a "Too Casual Approach" and he never displays that pitbull ferociousness that other high level QBs seem to exhibit when the game is in their hands. One guy thought he was funny when he said that Mac has that look when the play calls don't make it in time. They all laughed.
Listening to these guys, they felt that the present staff in NE wouldn't make many major changes because BB has never thrown the dice. They also all agreed that BB has to make some huge moves on the OL and upgrade the WRs if he wants to begin thinking about improving the team. One guy made a statement and no one argued. "Blichick is getting older and like most older people, prefers to stay in a comfortable rut. Don't expect him to change."
They predicted that the Jets, especially owner Woody Johnson will make a huge move. They believe Johnson will get Aaron Rogers and his $110M salary and never blink. He made tyhe decision to go get Favre and he's never hesitated to add a name or a star to the team. They all believe that the jets are a QB away from contending and possibly knocking the Bills from their perch.
If BB does make moves to enhance the quality of the OL and does add a #1 WR, I think Mac has the physical tools to take this team to the next step. If Bill does play 'catch up'makes major moves and improvements, can Mac take them to the house?
