49ers made it to a Super Bowl with Kaepernick even though Alex Smith went down in their 10th game.
Eagles won a Super Bowl with Foles after Wentz went down toward the end of the regular season.

For most teams though, that's very likely true.

Yes, it is possible to have a successful season and even win it all as exemplified by Foles getting hot at the right time. I acknowledge as much. But I'm still locking in on my take that if the elite QB goes down, most teams aren't getting that Foles like magic out of their backup QB. It would be an interesting study to further examine how this historically looks in the NFL but I'm not jumping into such research.

I'm taking the overly simplified position that we need Burrow on the field to win the Super Bowl, not a backup.
