Its really hard to get one of those guys and sometimes teams luck into them but a team can win with the next group of qb's as long as the team around them and the coaching is great.
And if he's so freaking correct shouldn't it be Brady vs Rodgers every year? or Brees?
Whats his explanation for them only having 1 SB victory each? Oh, don't tell me its a team thing??????

You just said it all right there. "... a team can win with the next group of qb's as long as the team around them and the coaching is great."
Just what the Chiefs have been trying to replicate for 25 years. It ain't easy. It's the hard way, if we're being objective.
This is why Mahomes was always QB1 in my mind. He was the only guy with a shot to reach that elite ceiling IMO this year. I know I wasn't alone in that camp. And sure, he's far from establishing himself as that guy as he has only played in one game, but the traits you look for, the traits we see in those blue chip QBs... he has them all.
It remains to be seen if he will reach his ceiling but the point is that finally the Chiefs are trying to do this thing the right way. If this thing works out, having an amazing surrounding cast all of the sudden becomes much less significant. Maybe you just need a good defense, not a great one. Maybe you just need a good coach, not a great one.
