No matter what QB it is, he still needs to be surrounded by talent. What, can you find a QB and say, "Well, we're all set on offense. We've got a great QB. Let's surround him with horse-crap, because this guy doesn't need any talent around him. Let's spend the next 8 years drafting all defensive players."

Give me a franchise QB and a top 5 defense, and I'll take my chances with the rest of the league.
Now, clearly you can't have crap talent on offense surrounding that QB, but solid role players on offense can win a SB in that scenario.
See Tom Brady.
