As others around here have quipped - Father Time remains undefeated.

I never said anywhere that Super Bowl success is built upon an "aged" veteran. My reply was to the statement that QBing in today's NFL is now a "young man's game". I was trying to point out that this is not true and success more often comes as a result of talent and/or experience for a QB. I'll take that over fresh young legs or a young strong arm any day.
