Really Flacco is the only guy on that list that I'd consider not a top 7-8 QB in the league...and he caught fire in the playoffs.
The last SB winners going back to 2003: Brady, Manning, Eli Manning, Roethlisberger, Rodgers, Brees, Flacco, and Russell Wilson.
I would not consider Eli, Flacco or Wilson to be elite QBs, but rather above average QBs. So, i wouldn't say it's "really rare" for an above average QB to win a Super Bowl.

Dalton flings the ball into the stands.
How many of his receivers are open, though? And how many INTs did that lead to PRIOR to 2015 when he WOULD try to throw to receivers on the run?
