Monte Kiffin was the genius behind that D. Not Dungy.
Point being... get a quality QB or have a defense that ranks in the top 5 of all time.
One of these is easier to achieve than the other.

I stand corrected. I remember the offense being better than the year before. Maybe that was more towards the end of the year when the Bucs were coming together more.
The point still stands that they had a great defense for a long time, and it wasn't until Gruden was hired as the head coach (offensive minded Coach) that they were able to get to the Super Bowl.
I have not doubt that the opponent in the Super Bowl had much to do with their actual winning of the Championship.
