There are two types of quarterbacks who have played in the Super Bowl: those who won multiple rings, as is the case with Tom Brady, and those others who missed their first and only chance at the Big Game. After his defeat in the LVIII edition, many begin to wonder in which group he will be placed Brock Purdy.
This February 11 was the culmination of a dream season for Purdy and his San Francisco 49ers. The team had returned to Super Bowl for the second time in five years after winning the NFC West with almost no opposition and emphatic victories over the Green Bay Packers y los Detroit Lions in the playoffs.
Even the Super Bowl, which this year was played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, got off to a promising start for the Niners, who finished the first half with a 10-3 lead. However, in the end, they lost 25-22 in overtime against the Kansas City Chiefs of Patrick Mahomes.
The defeat was a hard blow for the Californian franchise, and it remains to be seen if the team and Purdyin particular, will they be able to recover and return to the Big Game and even if they will be able to win it.
The quarterbacks who were one hit wonders
Although Purdy He is barely in his second year, with his entire career ahead of him, analysts and fans are already beginning to compare him with other quarterbacks who had glory within reach and never had another opportunity to be crowned champions.
The list is headed by a legend like Dan Marinothe star quarterback of the Miami Dolphins who lost the Super Bowl XIX ante Joe Montana and the 49ers. “Boomer” Esiason was another privileged arm that only had one chance, in the Super Bowl XXIIIalso defeated by Montana.
Over the past 30 years, that list has grown exponentially, with players like Stan Humphrieswho lost the Super Bowl XXIX as owner with San Diego Chargersalthough he had previously won the Super Bowl XXVI as substitute for Mark Rypien para los Washington Redskins.
Drew Bledsoe lost Super Bowl XXXI with the New England Patriots as a starter, but later won a championship ring as a substitute for Tom Brady en el Super Bowl XXXVI. It is the same case of Jimmy Garoppolowho lost the Super Bowl LIVE as a starter with San Francisco, but had previously won the Super Bowls XLIX y LI in back of Brady.
Garoppolo He is still active, and although rumors say he has one foot outside the Las Vegas Raiders, he still has a chance to be crowned champion as a starting quarterback. Ten years into your career, time is running out, but the possibility still exists.
Purdy and the new challenge
In case of Brock Purdy is different from Garoppolo. The Niners quarterback is only in his second year as a professional. Although he missed his first year in the NFL due to injury, he has a long career ahead of him and San Francisco is a talented team with the potential to form a dynasty.
Jared Goff is another player from this new generation of quarterbacks who has demonstrated his talent in the Super Bowlalthough he lost the Super Bowl LIII under the reins of the Los Angeles Rams. However, his recent performance at the head of the Detroit Lionswhom he led to the NFC championship game, has generated great hopes around him.
Joe Burrow leading the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI and Jalen Hurts with the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII also showed qualities to lead their team to the Big Game. Although they both lost, they still have time to return to a championship game, and then they could join their names with those of the great legends of the field.
