Just about any QB in this league is capable of winning a SB if their defense completely dominates. Denver proved that with one of the worst QB performances ever. I don't think anyone will argue that it can't be done. But this defense isn't the 2000 Ravens, or the 2002 Bucs, or even the 2015 Broncos. Our defense will have to play pretty perfect for this to happen.
I said it before, but since his biggest asset to this team is his aversion to turning the ball over, he pretty much needs to own that. He can't turn the ball over and not score points. Twice this year he's thrown back-breaking picks in the end zone. He simply cannot do that. This team, more than most, needs those points when they are in the red zone. Even if it's just three.
I'd love to have a top shelf QB...but we don't. We have a decidedly average QB. This is what he is. We just can't come away with nothing when we get inside the 20. Those are absolute killers.
