A brutal dance routine continues to play out in the NFL.
A star quarterback in the twilight of his career is cast aside, unceremoniously, by the team he carried for years. He’s discarded for the new, cheaper talent.
It happened to Tom Brady in New England and Cam Newton in Carolina this year. Last year, it happened to Joe Flacco in Baltimore, and before that, Peyton Manning in Indianapolis and even further back with Joe Montana in San Francisco.
Eventually, it will happen to this sterling new generation of young quarterbacks.
