He was unable to get players to elevate their game.

OK, I can buy that Marino was still elite over Aikman during the early 1990s. Aikman was still "near elite".
By posting the list of QBs for the past 20 years, I was trying to show that only 2 of 20 super bowls were won with game managers, and that 18 of them were won with QBs who were elite (top 4) or nearly so (top 6).
I think I proved that point.
Without a top flight QB, your chances of winning the super bowl is very slim. Alex is a bottom half QB. That was always the point of that post I made. You aren't going to win a super bowl with a game manager. It isn't going to happen. That was the point.
