How's this for a stat:
The quarterback who leads the league in passing yards in the regular season has never ever won the super bowl in the same season. Not Once. How about Passing Defense or Rushing defense or rushing offense? plenty of examples.
You cite me an example of a team with a quarterback drafted high that carried a team to super bowl victory without an awesome defense or solid running game. There are plenty of Trent Dilfers and Brad Johnsons available in free agency that can manage an offense and hand the ball off and win you super bowls. Marino never did that. It takes a complete team to win a super bowl, and a complete team doesnt necessarily mean a top quarterback, just someone who is smart and doesn't turn the ball over too much. They can be found in free agency, in the later rounds, off the bench, but great defenses and great running games are more often built on years of drafting a large pool of talented players.
