Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1426 Refuse to Lick a Dog
Shanahan: The burden of victory lies on Garoppolo's shoulders.

True and false, real and fake, how much truth and how much sincerity there is, only Shanahan himself knows, and I am afraid even the San Francisco 49ers players cannot be sure; but the only thing that can be confirmed is that Shanahan has expressed his position and will maintain this attitude to support Garoppolo and boost morale.

Joe Staley continued to play his role as a knight, answering Shanahan's call to protect his quarterback.

"We've played a lot of games this season where we really needed him to help us win, and every time he came through. I think that gives outsiders fodder for stories because we didn't complete a lot of passes in the playoffs, but we didn't need to do that. I think that's one of the strengths of Shanahan, too, is that he will do whatever it takes to win the game, and as long as he feels it's the best way, we will execute it without hesitation."

"The success of the team is not on the shoulders of Garoppolo alone. He is our quarterback, he is one of us, and everything we do is a complete team effort."

"I think it's a great example of how unselfish our team is in the game, you have a quarterback who doesn't care if he passes for 400 yards or 10 yards, the only thing he cares about is winning, winning with the team, and that's how we all think."

Lamar Jackson: …

Almost everyone believes that Staley is playing tricks on Jackson. After all, whether the Baltimore Ravens faced the Kansas City Chiefs in the regular season or the Houston Texans in the divisional playoffs this season, Jackson's personal statistics were very good, but the team was unable to win in important games.

If Jackson's stats were like this and he won the regular season MVP, at least in terms of personal honor, this memorable season would have ended. At this moment, Staley's yin and yang might be understood as envy, jealousy, and sour grapes. But now that he has even missed the regular season MVP, these ridicules and taunts have changed their meaning.

Moreover, he was defeated overwhelmingly in the regular season MVP voting.

From being the center of attention to being in a mess with no one paying attention to him, sophomore Jackson experienced for the first time the fickleness of human nature in real life. It seemed like a flourishing life, but in fact, there were daggers hidden in the smiles. He fell heavily from the peak to the ground.

Now, Staley continues to add insult to injury, and if you think about it carefully, you should be able to detect that Garoppolo should be secretly competing with Jackson.

however!
Staley changed the subject.

"When some running backs are running, catching, and passing, and they want to be the team's superhero all by themselves, no one blames the quarterback for his failure to do his job. Is it really because the quarterback performed well?"

"I don't think so."

"Just because that's the one that no one can offend, so we all need to cooperate with them to stage a show of unity inside and outside the locker room."

"He was both a role model and a role model, stealing all the attention by himself, and then he pretended to be directing and acting by himself, shouting slogans into the air and putting on a noble attitude."

"I don't know how you guys managed to witness all this without laughing. In my opinion, this is a farce, and everyone is playing along. It couldn't be more ridiculous. As a result, everyone is criticizing Garoppolo for sacrificing himself to help the team win. It's really very NFL."

"hehe."

Li Wei: I know the answer to this question, it’s me.

The arrow is aimed at the number one person in the league.

Although Staley did not mention anyone by name, the sharpness of his words was obvious. He was sarcastic and full of fire. Before people even had the chance to add insult to injury to Jackson, Staley's sword was already pointing at Levi's throat. It could be seen at this time that the San Francisco 49ers were sharpening their swords.

In fact, there is no historical grudge between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

When people mention the Los Angeles Rams, there is a history between the former St. Louis Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs, but the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs have absolutely nothing - the 2019 Super Bowl, which is the first time in history that the two teams have met on the playoff stage.

In fact, not only are there no grudges, but there are some origins.

Bill Walsh, the legendary coach who created the West Coast offensive system that swept the league with the San Francisco 49ers, briefly worked for the Kansas City Chiefs coaching staff before going to San Francisco; and Reid, the founder of the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty, also had a brief collaboration with the San Francisco 49ers management in the early stages of his career.

There is no grudge between us; privately, we have a pretty good relationship.

However, the absence of grudges does not mean the absence of the smell of gunpowder.

First, last season, the Kansas City Chiefs swept the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl. Although the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers are sworn enemies in the NFC West, matters within the division are handled separately. Outside the division, the Kansas City Chiefs bullied the Los Angeles Rams, which the San Francisco 49ers could not swallow.

The media followed suit, calling Super Bowl 54 the "National League West Revenge Battle."

Secondly, Levi Levi Levi.

When the entire league was pushing Levi like crazy, it used Garoppolo as a stepping stone. There were countless voices inside and outside the San Francisco 49ers who disliked Levi.

In some ways, their desire to beat Levi's even surpassed the idea of ​​beating the Kansas City Chiefs.

It's not just Staley. There are countless players in the league who have similar ideas. They just want to see Levi's embarrassing fall.

Just like when we saw Brady back then. Public Enemy.

Moreover, during Brady's years with the New England Patriots, apart from Gronkowski, very few players have defended him on and off the field, so it has become an entertainment activity for people to gather together to say bad things about Brady during the offseason, and the inside revelations from the New England Patriots are the most worth looking forward to.

But Levi is different. The Kansas City Chiefs players are like patients with Stockholm syndrome. Even off the field, even when Levi is not there, they do their best to protect Levi - sincerely. This is the problem. The more sincere the Chiefs players are, the more frustrated and angry others will be.

The NFL's annual awards ceremony added fuel to the fire.

For 99% of the players in the league, the Pro Bowl and award ceremony are the dream stage and the stage they long for. They are eager to stand under the spotlight, win their own brief shining moment, and put an end to a season of hard work.

But what about Levi?

In three seasons of his professional career, he won the Pro Bowl voting title for three consecutive years, but missed it for three consecutive years; he won important awards at the awards ceremony for three consecutive years, and even made history by winning the regular season MVP for three consecutive years, but he also missed it for three consecutive years and only sent the team manager to receive the award.

How does this make others who long to be in the spotlight but can’t find it feel?

However, Levi still wanted to pretend that he would stand by the team in preparation for the Super Bowl, and the news media and netizens rushed to flatter him, which further angered a group of players. Staley was just an ordinary member of the league who couldn't stand any of Levi's actions.
