Name any of the starting WR's, TE's, or even RB's from the 80's Broncos teams and tell me if any of them ever lead the league in anything.
John took 3 teams that weren't SB quality teams to the SB because he was so good. They had talented players on D but the O was barren for a decade and a half until he got help.
Every great team who has won multiple SB's have had a 3 headed monster for their QB. John didn't get that until Shanny finally came along though Wade knew it and set the foundation.
Montana proved you can't go to a SB without talent around the QB. Every year Belly goes out and gets one or 2 WR's and one or 2 RB's to make sure tommy* has the tools to win.
Give tommy* the 3 amigos and Steve Sewell and Orson Mobily and he doesn't make it to a SB.
