That's 21 years of Super Bowls, and those that will likely make the Hall of Fame make up 17 of those wins.

A lot of those had great defenses. Peyton won both of his SBs due to his defense. Eli isn’t elite but his defense definitely held it down both SB runs. Early in Brady career the Pats D carried him.

Also if Rodgers and Brees are so great why have they only won a SB each? Must take more than a QB.

 

[IheartRomo]

How then do you explain Eli, Flacco, Foles, Dilfer, Johnson?

 

[sunalsorises]

This is a bit of a chicken/egg argument in that there are a lot of great QBs to never have won a Super Bowl. It's also true that winning a Super Bowl will elevate a decent QB to "great" status (see Eli, Big Ben, and Wilson on your list)

 

[CATCH17]

QB’s win championships. Defenses are just on whatever ride the QB takes them on.

Rarely does a defense actually win a championship and too many times a good performance in the Super Bowl by a defense, any defense, will make people say defense win championships.

The game is all about the Quarterback and nearly all the great QBs have a ring.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Although Flacco is considered not a great QB now. He had the GOAT performance ever for a QB in the playoffs that year.

That Ravens defense gave up over 30 points twice in those playoffs during that Super Bowl run.

Great teams win SB. Until or unless the QB starts blocking for themselves, catching the ball and running as well as play defense this is still a team sports.

Here are Peyton's playoff stats both year's he won SB. Not going to do this for other QBs.

2006 Cmp% 63.4, Yards 1034, TDs 3, INTs 7
Won 23-8, 15-6, 38-34, & 29-17

2015 Cmp% 55.4, Yards 539, TDs 2 INTs 1
Won 23-16, 20-18, & 24-10

That Bucs team sure wasn’t much of nothing until Brady came along.

Almost all of these NFL teams are the same. The league is designed that way. They want parity.

The guy who touches the ball every play makes the biggest difference. Playcalling as well.

Bingo...team game. Tough to make it without a QB, but how often does a QB alone make that run to a super bowl victory?

Maholmes couldnt get over the hump until they got better on defense.
Brady left NE because they didnt have the firepower anymore so he went to a loaded Tampa team.
Seattle has been a really good team but not the same since they had to break up that defense
Peytons last super bowl he was a bus driver on a great team
Eli was carried by his defense on those super bowl runs


Not knocking any of these guys, but no one can do it on their own. Put Maholmes on the Lions and they probably have a few more victories, but they aint sniffing the super bowl.

If you put Mahomes on the Lions with Rodgers nearly out the door they are competing for a Super Bowl within 3 years. Maybe 2.

It took Brady 1 year at the age of 43 to win a Super Bowl in Tampa.

After they rebuild their roster you are exactly right. Easiest way to rebuild your team is landing a franchise QB. Still cant get there until you give him some help though.

Bucs had talent on it which is why Brady went there. Problem Bucs has was Winston who was an int machine but Tampa had weapons and talent on that team before Brady. I do agree the importance of QB never said otherwise but being a great QB does not make you a SB winning team. Wilson he is on the list yet when he won it was the Seahawks defense and Lynch that carried the load, they did not even as Wilson to throw that much. Big Ben great player but Pitt defense played big roles in their wins. Peyton he won and Denver brought in a hell of a defense. Ravens SB again defense. I don't pretend QB does not mean anything, it is critical but you do not win SB without a team of talented players around that QB. Rodgers in my view one of the best play the game yet 1 SB? because he has not had the needed talent in GB to win. You act as if QB and playcalling is all that matters? lol BS teams still win SB. Even Tampa Bay defense last season destroyed Mahomes, he could not do anything in that game and Brady sure as hell was not playing on the defensive side of the ball

Rodgers has not won a SB 10 years, how the hell is he taking Lions to the SB?

You look at HOF QB and you will find some other HOF players around them. I agree with you it is not a knock on any QB, they are very important to the success of a team but it is not them alone, it takes a group of men to go out and win SB. To pretend these other guys are just there doing nothing is a joke.

Defense wins championships. Nothing will make me believe otherwise. Other than a Hail Mary from Aaron Rodgers maybe
