The Future of NFL Shot Calling

As much as we all admire Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, there time is close to coming to an end. They have reigned over the NFL for many years now, winning many championships and helping their teams become powerhouses but it is almost time for them to hand the reigns over. Manning and Brady do still have a few good years left in them and could still be considered the best in the league but let’s be honest, they will not be the best forever. Every year there is a new wave of young QBs entering the league but there are two that are ready to take over the reigns and become the NFL’s best.

The next 6-7 years will be led by two guys that have been through a vast amount of controversy and doubt. Each of  these guys took their perspective team’s starting QB jobs with the world looking at them wondering whether it was the correct decision, and neither has missed a beat. Both of their teams are poised to make a big playoff push this upcoming season and they are the vital reason behind it. If you haven’t already guessed, the two quarterbacks that WILL be the future of the NFL are Philip Rivers and Aaron Rodgers.

Rivers has had much controversy surrounding him, whether it be his loud, fiery attitude or the mystery of whether the San Diego Chargers should of kept Drew Brees instead. Aaron Rodgers on the other hand was drafted to replace a legend, Brett Favre, and we all know how that story goes. Both of these guys have taken these doubters and kicked them in the gonads. Neither has had huge playoff success yet, but we are not too far from it. They both have the talent and teams needed to make a Super Bowl run and we could even see it happen this year.

I know many will wonder and question my thought on this, especially the Rivers selection. There were two other successful quarterbacks drafted along with Rivers in 2004, Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning, so what about them? They both have Super Bowl rings while neither Rivers nor Rodgers do, what’s up with that? Big Ben and Baby Manning are very talented players but I just do not see that spark from them, maybe it is just me personally? I am not saying they are not great, and they may even still win more championships, but Rivers and Rogers have something about them that just gets my jaw to drop.

It is now time for two great Hall of Fame quarterbacks to pass on their hold of the NFL’s elite to two, talented gunslingers that are ready to take over the NFL and become the shot callers.

This is just an opinion…so please Pardon My Bias.
