If the only point of the thread is that you can win games in the NFL, and even a Super Bowl, without an elite QB, then I absolutely agree. It’s possible. I don’t agree that it is the most reliable way to win, or the easiest way to win, or the fastest way to win, but it is a way to win.
It's NOT just 'possible' it's happened, time and again!! Another point is, the definition of elite. I think you have to have time to prove that you are 'elite'.
Example: I would not classify Watson as elite, I think it's premature.
Lastly, there are QBs that come to an elite status that were never Heisman winners or college studs.
In fact, look at the GOAT Brady for example.
