Sam Darnold scores big for ‘system quarterbacks’ and ‘game managers’ with Super Bowl LX victory

Sam Darnold was a game manager Sunday evening and is fine with it. A system quarterback who reached the pinnacle of his profession at Levi’s Stadium.

He probably feels a lot like Peyton Manning did 10 years ago when his arm was hanging by a thread and the Denver Broncos beat Carolina 24-10 in Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s. Or Tom Brady in Super Bowl 53 when the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3. How about Terry Bradshaw (9 of 14, 86 yards) for Pittsburgh in a 16-6 win over Minnesota in Super Bowl 9?
