Big Changes at Quarterback
This new season of the NFL brings with it some new changes. The two most famous and known quarterbacks namely Peyton Manning and Tom Brady won’t be seen in NFL to start the year. Peyton Manning of Denver Broncos, an NFL veteran, has retired after winning the Super Bowl 50 in February. NFL has never witnessed a start without Manning since 1998. Peyton has been an extraordinary quarterback for Broncos for almost 17 years. Broncos have announced their new quarterback after Manning’s retirement, Trevor Siemian, will be starting as the new quarterback for Broncos in their game against Panthers.
Luckily, Tom Brady, quarterback for New England Patriots, will get to play in NFL. The reason he is not starting is his suspension due to some controversial activity in games two seasons back. Tom Brady was accused of playing with an underinflated ball. This illegal activity resulted in the suspension of Brady from NFL for the first four weeks. He will be back in business in the fifth season of NFL. Till then, New England Patriots have found a new replacement in Jimmy Garoppolo. The NFL has never witnessed a start without Tom Brady since 2001. Jimmy Garoppolo is somewhat inexperienced since he has played only eleven games in two NFL seasons. It will take more than one person to fill the gap created by Brady’s absence. The Patriots will have to put in a team effort to continue their success.
New England Patriots are also favorites to win the Super Bowl LI. It would be safe to wager on New England Patriots since they have made through to AFC championship in five straight seasons in the presence of Tom Brady. The offense and the defense of Patriots have everything that it takes to win. You can feel safe to bet on the Patriots.
