That's just one extreme to the next. No.

You can win SBs with merely good QBs... but your D better not be bottom tier, and players have to step up to make plays.

Russell Wilson... Flacco (lol)... Eli Manning... even his bro Peyton was shit the year he won the SB...

Aaron Rodgers (yes elite) only one 1 long ago, and he needed a trio of elite WRs and an elite D to do it.

Brees (yes was elite) could only do it once, and it was when he had the #1 takeaway defense.


The better the QB, the better your chances. duh.. derp. Yes, obviously.

KC doesn't have the elite QB.. no one said they did. They had (have) a very good one.

Sadly, breakdowns... (often in the form of injured players) all over... have plagued the team. Drops, officiating... the Chiefs... CHIEFS... NOT JUST SMITH... have been horribly unlucky and un-clutch in the playoffs. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Wilson, Flacco, and Eli were all great in the playoffs when they won SBs. Flacco and Eli in particular were extremely clutch.

Rodgers made those receivers look better than they truly are, and if you don't agree see what happened to Greg Jennings when he signed with the Vikings.

You aren't wrong, you aren't going to win with a bottom tier defense no matter what... but you don't have to have a top 5 or even 10 unit if the QB is the real deal. You also aren't winning it all with a merely good QB if the defense isn't elite. Even then, that typically isn't enough to finish the job.

They were great because someone was coming down with their passes.

Funny how that works.

Or, were they great because they had the sack to make the throws?

I can promise you one thing off the top of my head. There's no way Smith makes the throw to Jacoby Jones to win in Denver that Flacco did, and there's no way he makes the throw to Manningham on the GWD that Manning beat the Patriots with.
