I agree it wasn't a coincidence that they went to those teams- and they only joined them because they thought they could win- but neither one was considered a Super Bowl contender without them. It only further proves the point. Peyton and Brady were so good that they could take even mediocre teams (8-8 and 7-9 respectively) to a ring.
We don't have to agree on this but I think Hubbard's point speaks for itself. The ripple effect of a generational quarterback on a team's performance is profound. :p
They weren't mediocre rosters though.
They were great rosters with bad QBs (Tebow and Winston).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
