Lest we forget in both 2011 and 2012 we played a LOT of good defenses (2011 IIRC the average ranking of the defenses we played was 9). And succeeded anyway.
It's also why I think some of the QB rankings he did were WAY off - defenses played. Luck looked like garbage before he got hurt and it was against decidedly average if not worse defenses (kind of like he has gotten to play against his whole career). Then you have Newton who likewise has had one of the easiest careers in terms of quality of defenses played in league history and last year overall had possibly the most cream puff schedule the NFL has had since they revised the scheduling system. And the results showed in the Super Bowl (which they only got to because the Cards and Seahawks played mistake filled offense and then could not catch up enough) where the Broncos defense treated Newton like their plaything (and he acted like a Baby just as usual).
