Troy Aikman & Joe Buck Preview Super Bowl XLV on FOX: "The Quarterback Takes Ownership of the Trophy — That Isn't Lost on Any of Us"

Three-time Super Bowl Champion quarterback and FOX game analyst Troy Aikman and play-by-play announcer Joe Buck joined NFL Rules analyst Mike Pereira and FOX Sports President Eric Shanks to preview FOX Sports' coverage of Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Arlington, TX. Premier Guide Miami sat down to find out what that means — and what comes next.

Three-time Super Bowl Champion quarterback and FOX game analyst Troy Aikman and esteemed play-by-play announcer Joe Buck joined NFL Rules analyst Mike Pereira and FOX Sports President Eric Shanks to preview FOX Sports' coverage of Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Arlington, TX. The game aired on FOX.

Aikman on the importance of the quarterback position: "A lot of people are involved in winning a game and reaching the Super Bowl but the quarterback is the one position that takes ownership of the trophy. He is the one who is looked upon in a 'he has won a championship or he hasn't' way. That isn't lost on any quarterback. We know that from a very young age. When you go back to college, a quarterback who is a Heisman Trophy candidate can't lose a game and still be in the mix. Running backs are not held to quite the same standard. That's the nature of the position. I never tried to fight that as a player."

Aikman on Ben Roethlisberger and where he ranks among elite quarterbacks: "Would it elevate his stature to win another Super Bowl? I would certainly think so. He's said himself that he won't be recognized amongst the game's best like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning because he doesn't put up big numbers. This year, he would've thrown for over 4,000 yards had he not missed the early part of the season. I don't know why some have been reluctant to give Roethlisberger his due. As a former player and someone who appreciates the position, he's as big a reason as to why this team is where they are as anyone on that team. They are not winning in spite of him. He's a great player."

FOX Sports President Eric Shanks on whether a Super Bowl on cable is in the future: "I don't think in the foreseeable future, but who knows 10, 15, 20 years down the line. The line is being blurred between over-the-air broadcast and cable. There's a generation growing up today who probably has no idea what over-the-air television even means because they or their parents just get a bill in the mail every month and they pay it. I think the economics for the foreseeable future will keep it on broadcast television."

Buck on broadcasting for a Super Bowl audience: "If you're doing a game in Week 8, typically you're doing it for fans who know the teams really well. When you do a game like the Super Bowl, you have to scale it back and get back to some of the older stories that maybe you have already said before. You have to do it tactfully and you can't do it in a way that's insulting to the hardcore viewer. You have to go back and get to the story of why these two teams are here. Some of the basic things that even going into the NFC Championship Game you take for granted that people know. It's something I'm very aware of as I prepare for this game — to be a little more general as we get more people into the tent watching this game."
