Few scenes Sunday seemed more incongruous than Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger on the sideline watching their teams trying to score without them.
It’s fair to say neither New Orleans nor Pittsburgh is much of a Super Bowl threat without its veteran quarterback, each having taken its team to an NFL title. Sure, Mason Rudolph looked solid enough, throwing for two fourth-quarter touchdowns in the Steelers’ 28-26 loss to Seattle. And Teddy Bridgewater, although he struggled against the Rams’ strong defence on Sunday in a 27-9 loss, is considered by many the best insurance policy at quarterback in the NFL.
Brees’s career was in doubt in 2006 after shoulder surgery made teams wary of signing the free agent who had lost his job in San Diego to Philip Rivers. Miami wasn’t sold he could be effective again and the Saints couldn’t be certain, either. But they took the gamble, which led to the franchise’s best string of seasons, including the 2009 NFL championship.The Dolphins are still searching for their franchise QB.
