Like 70% of the winning AND losing QBs in the SB the last 20 years have been universally seen as career elite QBs, can I quantify them as top 4 in their Conferences, no. But Universally seen as Elite, yes.Excluding the Pats (I consider them a one-off team) how many games have the 'top 4' QBs won SBs in the last 20 years? No, you didn't say SB, I know that, but the goal isn't Championship games - it's SB wins. Even then, if the 'top 4' dominated the Championship game, often failed to lead their team to a SB.
I agree, top tier QBs raise the odds of succeeding and I, like every fan, want my team to have a top 4 QB, but, excluding TB, those top 4 QBs haven't taken their teams to a SB often.
