Was Elway any better at the very end of his career when he finally got the victory? Not hardly. He was great long before this, and not winning the SB wouldn't have changed this fact.

What a franchise QB does is allow you to have a chance to compete at a SB caliber level consistenly for a number of years, provided that you put the pieces in place elswhere.
Game managers of the world might have that one season where they overachieve, or the team around them plays historically good (like the Ravens defense).
But teams like that can not sustain excellence consistently through years.
