I'm not going to play the disqualify game with you. It's embarrassing that you're even trying it.

That is an outlier. That is the point. It's very rare they cobbled together an offense, the QB grinded it out and it worked to win games. Win in the playoffs and Win a Super Bowl.

They won reg season games with Ben passing 93 177 173 149 135

It's a war of attrition to win it all in the NFL. It's harder without a great QB. It's harderest when you add to scoops of lame WRs and Pass Blocking on top of that.

It's pretty obvious that is the crap Reid and Alex Smith were dealing with in 2014. The off-season made it even more obvious in what was done to change that.

Changing Alex Smith isn't happening.
Let's see what happens when a non great QB is givin a decent shot because he isn't sabotaged by a lame group of targets and a piss poor OL.

Super Bowl? I doubt it. But that's life in the NFL for most teams most.
