Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1582 One-Day Advisor

"Jaren Hertz".

When Li Wei threw out a name, Mara's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Clearly, he hadn't missed the little incident on the field.

Mara shifted her position and scrutinized him closely. "Are you joking, or are you just trying to help your friend and improve his prospects in the draft?"

Li Wei remained calm. "I didn't know that I now have the ability to influence the prospects of the draft. If that's the case, the universities should remember to send me money."

It was a joke, but Mara didn't laugh; she continued to gaze quietly at Levi.

Li Wei shrugged slightly. "Mr. Mara, I will answer your questions, but whether you believe me or not is up to you to decide."

Finally, Mara believed Levi wasn't joking, and her curiosity was piqued. "So, what's wrong with Boro?"

Levi laughed. "Bero is fine. All the scouts, all the professionals, all the coaches say Borro is fine. I don't think I'm that smart. I'm not the only one who's sober in a world of fools. Mr. Mara, have you forgotten? I'm not that professional when it comes to rugby."

Mara, "But you still chose Hertz instead of Boro."

Levi, “Because Hertz was a good fit for the New York Giants.”

Without warning, Mara's face darkened, and she angrily rebuked, "What, do you think the New York Giants are not good enough for Burrow?"

Li Wei, however, was unconvinced. He didn't need to be subservient to Mara. "If Mr. Mara is willing to understand it that way, I won't particularly object. Just a reminder, the first pick is in the hands of the Cincinnati Tigers, and clearly, they're not planning to make a trade."

This isn't a question of whether someone is worthy or not, but rather whether the deal can be completed.

Mara scoffed, "That's not necessarily true. In this world, there's nothing that money can't buy."

Back then, Eli Manning refused to go to the San Diego Chargers, and the New York Giants seized the opportunity to trade Doc Rivers and the San Diego Chargers for Eli Manning.

Who knows? If the New York Giants can do it once, they can do it a second time.

Li Wei spread his hands, "My wealth is limited, and I cannot understand the world of billionaires. Please forgive my limited knowledge."

They actually... just like that, readily admitting their mistake?

But Mara didn't feel any satisfaction at all; how could she not hear the sarcasm in Li Wei's words?

Mara took a deep breath and then exhaled it all. "Suitable for Titans? What does that mean? Boro is perfectly suited to the Titans' tactical system."

Li Wei glanced at Mara, but smiled without saying a word.

Mara, "What's wrong?"

Li Wei laughed, "No, I was just curious whether Mr. Mara was being sincere or just chatting casually. Shouldn't this kind of topic be discussed with the team manager and head coach? It's not my place as an outsider, especially one who knows nothing about rugby. But it doesn't matter now."

"As I said, my opinion is just my personal view. Whether you believe it or not, and how you judge it, is up to you."

Mara regained her smile, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth. "There's no need to be so self-deprecating. It's been three years. How long are you going to keep playing the novice, outsider persona?"

It would be truly foolish for professionals to remain blind to the truth.

Is it because Li Wei was able to sweep through the NCAA and NFL in just four years that his competitors were not good enough?

of course not.

The real reason behind this lies in Levi's football intelligence. He may have been a novice, but his rapid growth has been remarkable. Now, Levi plays the role of the second brain on the Kansas City Chiefs' field. His grasp of tactics, his reading of the game, and his timing are all becoming the team's winning formula.

Naturally, people began to wonder if Li Wei's off-field insight was just as excellent.
Mara believed he wasn't the only one. Goodell must have also seen the potential, which is why he specifically invited Levi to the rookie training camp.

"Ha." Li Wei burst out laughing. "Damn it, I've been exposed."

Judging from his expression, Li Wei clearly didn't care; the composure and ease in his eyes revealed his confidence.

This time, Li Wei didn't beat around the bush anymore.

"Bro is a prodigy. He's already at the top before even entering the league. He has everything a textbook-perfect quarterback needs."

"However, he has a dominant offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award last season—an award specifically given to the best offensive line in the nation."

Mara said, “I know what the Joe Moore Award is. We all know that LSU has a top offensive line, but Burrow is not a traditional pocket quarterback. He can run out of the pocket on his own. He can judge the timing and make the right choices. He is not a pea shooter who relies on the offensive line to hide behind and pass the ball.”

Li Wei nodded slightly. "Of course. But the New York Giants don't have an offensive line like that. When Burrow faces a professional-level pass rush, the pressure is completely different. Do you believe he can still deliver a historic performance like last season?"

Mara did not speak.

Li Wei: "Everyone loves the chosen ones, and who can refuse them? Because they already have everything."

"But the real question is, what if they lose everything?"

"Mr. Mara, do you know how many number one draft pick quarterbacks have led their teams to the Super Bowl championship since the millennium?"

Mara choked, staring silently at Li Wei, a sharp glint in her eyes.

"Hehe." Li Wei chuckled. "There's no need to target me. The facts are there, and even if I don't say anything, I can't change them."

Since 2000, only three number-one draft pick quarterbacks have won a Super Bowl championship.

Peyton Manning. Eli Manning. Alex Smith.

Some might argue that the establishment of a dynasty by the New England Patriots since the millennium is an exception, but what about going back to 1980?

There are only two: John Elway, the number one overall pick in 1983, and Troy Ekman, the number one overall pick in 1989.

In other words, although everyone pays attention to top scorers, there are very few top scorers in history who can truly turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Mara immediately understood, "You mean the top scholar is all talk and no action?"

Li Wei: "No, what I mean is that the chosen ones are like flowers in a greenhouse. They haven't experienced real hardship, and they often find it difficult to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the team in the cruel arena of the professional league."

"Even Peyton Manning was no exception. He won the regular season MVP five times, but he always fell short in the playoffs. His presence was very important in the Hollywood fairy tale of Super Bowl L50, but no one can deny that the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers with their defense."

"If we're talking about the San Francisco 49ers, or the Philadelphia Eagles, or the Houston Texans, they have everything they need except a quarterback. I believe Burrow is the best option, and they can take off."

"But clearly, the New York Giants are not like that."

Mara squinted, scrutinizing Levi closely. "So what do you think of the New York Giants?"

That look in his eyes clearly said, "Watch your words."
