I have yet to see a championship team that has not had great talent through out the lineup playing quality football during that portion of the season. Montana could win it all but when the 85 Bears came calling and the pass protection broke down Joe did not look all that magical. Currently one of the top QB's is Brees at last count he has 0 rings to his credit yet anyone who wants to tell me he is not a great QB is only showing how clueless they are when it comes to what it takes to win championships.
See, this post is right on the money. Brees has not won a Super Bowl. It is absolutely stupid to think that he is therefore incapable of it. No one suggests that he and the Saints can't win a Super Bowl. My question is, why not?
This is his 9th year in the NFL. Some people seem to conveniently forget that he was with the Chargers before the Saints. Not only that but he had growing pains with the Chargers. Including a season with 18 turnovers and another with 20.
Now suddenly he's considered some kind of iconic winning QB that we have no parallel to. I find that to be utterly ludicrous. The fact of the matter is he has 7 years as a starting QB in the NFL and has led his team to the playoffs twice and is 1-2.
8-8, 4-12, 12-4, 9-7. Those are his years with the Chargers. 10-6, 7-9, 8-8. Those are his previous years with the Saints. His team has missed the playoffs the last 2 years. Tony's team missed it last year. The year before he led his team to the playoffs with a 13-3 record. Yes, they lost. So have Brees' teams.
I am not disparaging Drew Brees. He is a damned fine QB. Anyone who thinks he cannot win it all is out of their freaking minds. So are the people who think Tony Romo can't because he hasn't. It is utterly stupid logic fueled by bitterness over past failures.
When you have a top notch QB, and the Cowboys do, you have a shot at winning it all. Every player is part of the problems with a team and part of the solution with a team. You have to grade whether a player is more problem than solution or more solution than problem.
Tony Romo is far more solution than he is problem. Anyone who thinks differently is crazy.
