Every generation of football sees the emergence and prevalence of a few elite quarterbacks.
In the 80s and 90s, we saw the likes of Montana, Elway, Marino, and Aikman dominating the sport.
Currently, quarterbacks like Manning, Favre, Brady, and Brees are clearly the best in the game.
Very rarely do we see two of the best quarterbacks in the sport facing off against one another in the Super Bowl.
This year, the football world will be privileged enough to enjoy such an opportunity.
Not only is this the case, but many believed that both teams were tops in the league through the course of the season.
Neither of these teams lost a game until December, and it's very rarely the case where one team, let alone two, goes unbeaten for such a long time.
Due to the dominance of each team, experts labeled both of these the best in the AFC and NFC throughout the year.
Neither the Colts nor the Saints finished out the season without a loss.
In fact, each team lost two games, each for their own reasons.
Still, this was enough to secure home field advantage, which clearly helped to secure a Super Bowl berth for each team.
When Indianapolis and New Orleans meet up with one another, fans will all agree about the fact that the winner will probably come down to the team with the more effective quarterback.
This is different from the last few Super Bowl meetings we've seen.
If you look at the previous two winners in the Steelers and Giants, both teams won the game on the heels of a strong defense.
It may be true that the Saints and Colts have both shown better defensive performances than in years past, but it's all about the offense when all is said and done.
Brees and Manning are both masters of their trade.
What happens from here is anyone's guess, but one thing remains true no matter what.
The world will have the opportunity to enjoy to of the best quarterbacks in the world, both of them in their primes.
