Would have loved him as a target for Rodgers at Packers.

Only 30, damn. Is there a reason for his retirement cos I know its been rumoured for a while.

Lots of niggly injuries...heart no longer in it...financially his future is secure....

Lastly, like Barry Sanders...playing for the Lions has destroyed him.

Megatron - what a player.
 
My video's better.

Why am I awake watching the Pro Bowl?

And why isn't Aaron Rodgers there?
 
Again Beyoncé and Bruno Mars as HT acts? Man, that's boring. Or are they just supporting Coldplay like Missy Elliott and Lenny Kravitz did with Katy Perry last year?
 
I honestly cannot wait for Sunday! It's been a great season and full of surprises, I just hope Sunday is the same. Both teams are (apparently) at full strength for Sunday too so everything is setting up nicely for a great game.
 
Any bets out there which are realistic and worthwile to make the game a little interesting? Wanted to put 50 on the Panthers but doesn't seem like good value at 1.44.
 
Looking forward to it this weekend. Quite torn on who I'd like to see win. No real feeling towards the Panthers so I'd have no problem with them winning and they'd be deserving of it too.

The Broncos ended our run in the playoff's so I should want them to lose. I've found myself almost rooting for Manning though due to so many people putting him down and saying how terrible he's been this year. I'd quite like to see him pull it off just to wind those people up and it'd be a nice moment for him to bow out with.

50/50 for me.
 
I'm so excited.

It's tough. Yes I support the Patriots but what separates the NFL for me is fans sitting side by side in any stadium.

I want to see Peyton win "that" Super Bowl. An amazing career. Intelligence. Revolutionary.

But then I look at Cam. He's revolutionary. He's changed the game. The way he's been, he reminds me of Ronaldinho (call me a nutter, but it's the way he enjoys his game and plays with a smile).

I want to see a great game. That's all. I love this sport and whilst I think that last year can never be beaten as a pats fan, I hope we get a closer game than my heart tells me we will tomorrow.

I hear you mate. It's the quarterback who has defined the past against the quarterback who COULD define the future. Cam has been that great this year that players of his skill set could have an impact on the future Brady or Manning "pocket passers". His skills could see a new QB prototype.

This game is incredibly intriguing.

Lol Even Raiders and Niners fans?
Tbf there's little tribal/community alligience to NFL clubs, (unlike GB Packers or College Football teams for e.g) so that too helps with the neutral crowds.
 
Very little culture of what you guys have in Europe in terms of 'away' fans.

The home crowd truly is the home crowd and a few teams are widely supported, so you'll see their fans in numbers at opposition stadiums - Cowboys being a good example, Steelers are another.

Divisional teams and fans hate other...but again, due to a lack of tradition, the fan bases rarely come into contact, hence the lack of violence

Russell Wilson?
 
Can't wait for the game. Obviously disappointing the Pats aren't involved but the way this Carolina team is playing, I'm not too disappointed we won't be facing them.

If the Broncos are going to win, it will have to be their defense who steps up. They manhandled Brady but Cam is a different beast & Carolina have a running game too which will be a factor. I expect Carolina to win big & I hope they smash Denver & Peyton into retirement.

No doubt a worthy mention, but Cam, if he continues to develop to the max, will be able to do things no other QB has ever been able to do.

Keen to hear what Kam can do that Wilson hasn't already, whilst also still developing from what was previously a run first offense.

Edit - Apart from flips and shit

It's not about what he's already done. Wilson has the potential to be a comfortable hall of fame player. He's mobile and he is a great passer. But Cam can do all of that but can also add a running game as a virtual second running back due to his size.

I can't say who will be better when they retire because both have a lot to prove still. But Cam could do things no other QB has ever done.

I think that's a pretty fair assessment.
