There are exceptions to nearly every rule. Generational QB's change the equation, Manning, Brady and so on. Every now and then there are teams that are just loaded with talent and they win above their coaching.

This is where I’m not so sure in some cases.

I think manning would have won a super bowl regardless of the coach because he was that good. His last year not withstanding. That was all defense. So this goes to your point.

I’m not as sure about Brady and don’t see him going to 8 SBs without BB. I think if you swapped them out and make Brady a colt and manning a patriot; Brady never wins a super bowl and manning wins 10.

I’m not saying Brady isn’t good. I’m saying without bb he never reaches his full potential and history remembers him as a above average QB.

Manning basically is his own coach. He did need someone to help hit his apex. But imagine if he and BB could have combined powers!
