It's been said that the NFL might be TV's greatest reality show. The league's immense popularity, coupled with today's never-ending media cycle, has created non-stop headlines, podcasts and talk shows discu sing and debating the NFL's biggest stories.Quarterbacks are typically the focus of articles and conversation, as writers, podcasters and TV talking heads spend countle s hours discu sing the legacies of the players who play league's Pat Sims Jersey most recognizable position. When asked which of the remaining four quarterbacks' legacies would be most altered with a win in Super Bowl LVI, former quarterback and currently CBS Sports NFL analyst Phil Simms didn't hesitate. Simms pointed to the two quarterbacks playing in this weekend's NFC Championship Game." and ," Simms said this week. "The hope they have this problem: What if they win the Super Bowl? Are they going to get rid of a Super Bowl quarterback? That would be interesting."Simms Vontaze Burfict Jersey has a unique understanding of the NFL media. For 14 years, he was a starting quarterback in the nation's biggest media market. Since his retirement after the 1993 season, Simms has been on the other side as a member of the media. When it comes to the narrative-driven media, Simms specifically touched on the unrealistic expectations that Stafford dealt with during his time with the . Instead of getting credit for leading the Lions to the playoffs three times, Stafford was often blamed for Detroit never making it beyond the wild card round. "I hear it all the time. All the quarterbacks that used to play in the NFL love Matt Stafford," Simms said, "and really, a lot of the media doesn't and people that talk about him. ... I followed his career and all these guys close. He lifted the team up to the playoffs because he was better than the team and he made the comebacks to get them in that position. Then they lose the game, and it's, 'Matt Stafford can't win the big one.' Please."Now maybe if it happened this year, if he had lost the first game, we could say that because it is different, playoff football. But I think he's answered that question in the first two games." Joe Burrow Jersey LAR QB #9 Simms said that a similar, inaccurate narrative has been created in regard to following the ' overtime lo s to the in the divisional round. Despite throwing four touchdowns that included two in the game's final two minutes, fragments of the media have questioned Allen's accuracy following Buffalo's season-ending lo s. "What does he have to do to get everybody to shut up? Jeremy Hill Jersey " Simms said of Allen. "Well, I think he's done it, so I think everybody should be quiet for at least until the next game where he doesn't play well."Fortunately for Stafford, the ' first-year starter played well enough to help lead the Rams past the and in the first two rounds of the playoffs. He delivered in the game's biggest moment late in last Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. With the score tied and le s than a minute remaining in regulation, Stafford hitfor completions of 20 and 44 yards to set up 's game-winning field goal as time expired.Stafford would surely like to end the 2021 season the way Simms ended the 1986 season, when he took home MVP honors after helping lead the Giants to a 39-20 win over the in Super Bowl XXI. Regardle s, Simms knows that some fragments of the media will find something to chew on during the long offseason. "It's a different world now," Simms said. "We had it easy with the Michael Jordan Jersey media. I thought the media was very fair during my whole career. There were many things written about me that were bad or how bad I was and this and that, and most of the time, it was correct. And I thought writers in New York, they treated us fairly. ... I think the biggest difference is TV. There's football shows on around the clock, and of course, the opinions vary and there's many people that are on there just to be negative, and somehow no matter what you do they're going to find the negativity, and you've got to live with that."
