Not Good enough captures all the nondescript journeymen, Foles, Sanchez, Palmer
The prototypical Choker is Romo, is the other Manning hadn't gotten his SB victory against Chicago a case could be made for him as well.
There aren't enough elites to go around, so you make do with Good Enough and both work like heck to edge towards elite and vigilantly continue to suss out an Elite.
You think only Elites can get to a SB, I differ insofar as I see enough Good Enoughs out there than can get there as well.

Yea the difference is probably repeatability. Elite guys give you a chance every year. Good enough guys walk the line.
