This is so completely ridiculous. QBs make the team. And pointing to Foles taking over for Wentz does not count. Foles was already familiar with the system, was a starter in the league with experience, and he played lights out the past couple weeks.
You know they had to beat a Case Keenum led Vikings team to get to the super bowl right? Even Wentz is only in his second season. So is Goff who was already in the playoffs. Blake Bortles is terrible right? Maybe the rest of the team is what actually matters? Maybe all these teams were able to get by with average qbs because they were good all around.
What happened to Green Bay when Rodgers went out? They sucked.
Right, because they had a ****ty team all around. Rodgers has been relatively healthy most of his career. The packers have still only been to one super bowl in that time period, and it was the year they had one of the leagues top defenses.
Why have the Jets sucked for so long?
The Jets made back to back AFC championship games in 2009 and 2019 with Mark Sanchez as their Quarterback.
The Browns? THey have no QB.
They have no anything.
The QBs are the most important position, and only if you have a really good defense can you generally win without having a good QB, particularly in this day and age.
Patriots had a great QB, and a so so defense. Eagles had a so-so QB and a great Defense.

9 St. Louis Rams 1999 526 32.9
10 Indianapolis Colts 2004 522 32.6
All within the last twenty years, all with great quarterbacks. The 1999 Rams are the only team in the top ten to win the super bowl that year.
