This might be the first SB that I do not watch  

Be careful, I have a theory that once an NFL fan intentionally misses one Super Bowl they are never as fully 'into' the NFL as they once were. The veneer is gone, and all of the hype surrounding the game becomes annoying background noise in ones life. Its like when you're a kid and you find out Santa isn't real. Its never the same. I'll publish research on this one day. The Huddle nerds can peer review

Were you attempting to paint this as a negative because you're about to convince me not to watch the SB. LOL!

Is breaking this addiction really that easy?

I'm serious. Not trying to get too deep/political but the SB is a marketplace for corporations and pop stars to sell you poo, masquerading as a'must see' cultural event that 'brings us all together'. They also play on FOMO to make you feel like a loser if you don't go to that SB party.  The game usually actually sucks (Conference championships are historically more competitive), and the actual play time is around 25 minutes, out of the 5 hours that the game is 'on'. Go fishing in two weeks and once you realize you didn't miss out on anything.  

There are two types of people that don't care about any given Super Bowl. People that have never watched or cared about the Super Bowl, and people that used to care and intentionally missed one.  If you've always watched and have never even considered missing the game you will always continue to watch and never consider missing the game. Break the habit once and you'll be free. You'll see it for what it is.

Oh, I see it for what it is. It's an absolute commercial spectacle. I'm a football junkie. I watch for the game. Commercials are beer breaks and halftime is dinner time. I'm just watching the game not the spectacle.

What is fascinating to me is that the majority of the audience is NOT watching the game lol. They are watching for the commercials and halftime. 99% of the public despises ads and commercials 99% of the time. Everybody 'hates to be sold something' but the Super Bowl is the exception for some reason. I'd really like to understand this one day.

Not to mention the entire generation of young girls and other women who didn’t care about football but now do because of her. 
 

I have nieces that are super into football now because of her. More people watching the games isn’t a bad thing imo.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
