I always thought that the whole "Super Bowl winners" when talking about Cappa and Karras was a bit overblown.
-Cappa played <50% of the snaps in the wildcard and didn't play again all postseason. Someone named Aaron Stinnie that I have never heard of started that SB, he's a backup for the Giants now.
-Karras played 1 snap on offense in the first 2016 postseason game and never saw the field on offense again. In 2018 he played 3 snaps on offense in the first postseason game and never played a snap on offense the rest of the postseason. Joe Thuney started both of those SBs who later signed with the Chiefs. We got Thuney's backup and then played him out of position.
They had played as many snaps on offense in the Super Bowl as Blaine Gabbert (a 2x SB winner, and started a game last year for the SB champ Chiefs) when we signed them.
The only reason I think it *may* not be both is because the oline problems outdate Pollack.
I wasn't necessarily touting the fact that these guys played on a Super Bowl winner as much as saying it's hard to believe a guy was thought of enough to start for a Super Bowl winner while scoring below a ten in pass blocking here.
