Would you said the same thing about Nick Foles, Brad Johnson, Trent Dillfer, Joe Flacco, Jimmy Garopplo, Kaepernick, Rex Grossman, Matt Hasselback, Jake Delhomme , Rich Gannon, Kerry Collins, Brock Purdy???
Is that enough names??? I never understand how people can say a QB will NEVER take us anywhere when there are so many examples of non elite QBs making it and winning the SB
Great point, and one that's mired in complexity and context. I love the recognition that the right group of guys, in the right circumstance, can find magic that leads to a real championship run. That's the nature and appeal of team sport.
I guess the issue is probably that those dozen names didn't consistently put their team in position to win it all, and if you look at each of those dozen careers, you'd find plenty of years where they got nowhere near being that level of competitor and contributor.
The consistent ones are who you search for, but sometimes the 'circumstance one' is enough, although often only for a limited period.
