I don't know what to make of it...really. Wheels are kind of turning about it now.
I guess I'd have to see the stats of other QB's that have consistently gone deep into the playoffs (no, Alex doesn't count...that doofus has only led his team to a mere 6 playoff games in 12 years).

January 2003 was the last time the AFC had a Super Bowl QB not named Brady, Manning, Roethelisraper or Flacco.
Clearly that's because of defense.
