Joe Flacco had “an inordinate amount” of great players to cover for him?
I think it’s relevant to point out the QBs who were only 1 game away from winning it all.
Jared Goff, Colin Kapernick/Alex smith, Matt Hasselbeck, Rex grossman/Kyle orton, cam Newton, Steve McNair, Jake delhomme, Kerry Collins, all made it to the SB, most of which lost to the buzz saw that is Tom Brady/Bellicheck. (All since 99’)
tons more examples of teams carrying mediocre QBs to conference championship games.
A superstar QB absolutely helps buts is absolutely NOT required to win a SB.
