In the super bowl. As in made it to the super bowl. As in they won the conference and went to the last game of the season

All I remember from 2013 was losing to the legion of Boom 43-8.

The fact that the Broncos averaged 40 points a game and Manning threw a gazillion touchdown passes doesn’t really mean much to me.

I’m sure Chiefs fans will be disappointed if they don’t win the big game again this year.

Same with Packers and Saints fans if Rodgers and Brees don’t get another ring.

What or who are you debating here?

You keep rattling off super bowl teams as if they’re bad or something

It's about odds. Odds are a great QB will be great from year to year. The same can not be said of defenses. I'd like to introduce last year's and this year's Bills defense as exhibit A. Mahomes is Mahomes. He didn't go from the best to one of the worst in one year.

Bills aren't exactly the best example.

The Chiefs had the worst defence in football when they lost to the Pats in the 2018 AFC Championship.

They came back the next year with a defence that allowed 13 PPG across the 2nd half of the season last year and was a big part of their Super Bowl win.

If it was only as simple as having an Elite QB I think Rodgers and Brees would have more then one ring.

Phillip Rivers definitely seems deserving of one as well no ? How many years did the Chargers have an elite overall offence and went nowhere ?

There’s one super bowl each season. Both those guys have been to multiple and have won one. Another elite QB has 2 in that timespan, another has 6. How many exactly should Brees and Rodgers have in the past 15 years?

Rodgers lost in the NFC Championship game last year and Goroppolo attempted 8 passes.

The 49ers had 74 yards passing that entire game.

There’s one Super Bowl anytime recently where I can say there wasn’t a great or elite QB playing. Baltimore and San Fran.

Kurt Warner went to 3
Brady has been in 8
Roethlisberger 2
Rodgers 2
Peyton 4
Eli 2
Brees 2
Cam Newton went when he was MVP
Russell Wilson - 2

Great QB’s go to Super Bowls

Phillip Rivers is the exception

When did the worst passing offense in football make the super bowl, or AFC championship game, like the worst defense in football made it to with Mahomes at QB

And Joe Flacco (tied with Eli Manning) has a better Winning percentage in the playoffs then all of those quarter backs with the exception of Brady and Warner.

Elite QB’s guarantee you a playoff birth.

That’s pretty much where the correlation ends.

I would not say Big Ben was elite in his first super bowl win.

Wilson was not elite in 2013 when the legion of boom laid an epic butt whipping in Denver.

I wouldn’t say Brady was elite in 2001 or 2018.

Peyton Manning went 7-2 in 2015 as he only started 9 games due to injury.

He completed 59% of his passes. He threw 9 TD’s and 17 INT.

I don’t think it gets much worse then that.

And that’s including the 49ers who I think threw like 30 total passes last year in two playoff games to get to the Super Bowl.

In 2015 the Denver Broncos had a team QB rating of 76.3, second worst in the league. Peyton sucked in the Super Bowl but they beat the league MVP and the NFLs best offense.
It happens.
Speaking in absolutes and promoting extremities to prove a point only leads to circular arguments that get us nowhere.

Yes, the MVP and best offense, in the super bowl, because that’s where those teams are almost every, single, year

How is that assuming it’s easy to get one or have access to one? I don’t get it.
