The “Other” QBs in the AFC, NFC Championship Games

Dieter Kurtenbach wrote a column for The Mercury News on Saturday opining that if Jimmy Garoppolo was starting for any of the four teams playing in the conference championship games, that team would be the favorite to win it all. That opinion is a great conversation starter in itself, but it rests largely on the fact that, at least entering this season, the three starting quarterbacks not named Tom Brady were, at least before the season, viewed as backups or below average starters. Yet, at least one of them would be in the Super Bowl, and another would have a chance to meet him there.
