And many of those rare cases are now 20 years old (Brad Johnson in 2002, Trent Dilfer is 2000). In the last 10 years, it's been almost exclusively elite QBs that have won the Super Bowl (Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers). The only exception in recent history was Nick Foles who was backing up an (at the time) elite QB in Wentz.
I don't think its unreasonable to say "you should strive to replace an average QB with an above average or elite QB, if possible. Your chances of winning will significantly increase if you succeed in doing so." and that's what the Dalton Line was all about. Identifying those QBs that, ideally, should be replaced.
it's really not that rare in recent times. 2012 Ravens, 2015 Broncos, 2017 Eagles. This is all relatively recent
But I would like to hear your opinion on 2 current quarterbacks
Kirk Cosuins and Matt Ryan. What are your thoughts on these guys?
