You can have mediocre QBS win SBs because of the teams around them, I know I don't need to make a list, but Dilfer, Johnson, Flacco, and Namath come from the top of my head.
Marino never won a SB because he just didn't have the team around him.
Yet people are quick to say that he took his team to the SB.... Can't have it both ways. Can't give him credit for taking his team to the SB then claiming he "didn't have a team around him to win one".
Hate Dilfer, Johnson, Flacco and Namath all you want but the fans of those teams would rather have those "mediocre" QBs and win the SB than Marino and have the claim of the "Best QB to never win".
Just like Dalton, when he wins, it is because of the talent around him. He loses and it is because of his play alone.
It isn't outside the realm of possibility that those guys did what was required to get the job done, which is to win the SB. Sometimes you don't have to be spectacular you just have to know what is needed and to do it.
Eli didn't just do it once though, he did it twice. If not for him Brady would have 7 wins. Thanks to another QB that would be disrespected by you, Foles, Brady would have 8.
