In the real world the replacements for Godwin and Brown were Cyril Grayson and Breshad Perriman. Grayson has 11 receptions for his entire career. Perriman couldn't even cut it with the Jets. Don't sound so ridiculous!With other good WR’s available to step in. You think real world football is fantasy football.
You can't list 10 or more average QBs to win the Super Bowl. You can't do it. Especially over the last 30 years...So in short… it doesn’t take a superstar QB at all, it just takes a QB to play well. Like Flacco, Williams, Dilfer and Eli… twice. You really made a salient point there… what it was not really sure beyond collapsing the unicorn QB theory. If we can list ten or more average QB’s who won a ring then that’s not an outlier.
1. Trent Dilfer... the Ravens team wasn't great. Their defense was. Dilfer is the only SB winning QB over the last 30 years who was completely useless.
2. Brad Johnson... same deal as above... the Bucs team wasn't great. Their defense was. The Bucs offense was pretty awful in fact. Johnson gets high marks for low turnovers, otherwise he wasn't doing much, including in the SB which came down to Rich Gannon getting destroyed by the Bucs defense.
3. Joe Flacco... the Ravens weren't even that good in 2011... they nearly choked up their playoff spot with a 1-4 regular season finish. Flacco went berserk in the postseason and carried a mediocre team to a SB title.
4. Nick Foles... torched the Patriots defense and won SB MVP.
That's your list. Two bums carried by all-time defenses, a third who carried his team on his back, and a fourth who had the game giftwrapped.
Brady won 40% of his playoff games with game-winning drives. No other all-time great QB is even close to that... Elway being the closest at 29%. Montana 22%, Bradshaw 21%, P. Manning 7%, Rodgers 10% (and you wonder why Rodgers is stuck on 1 ring).Brady played on the best teams, had the most playoff starts by far, so he has most of the records.
I'm pretty sure Edelman doesn't hold any playoff receiving records... like literally 0. And in what universe does Amendola even register on most playoff receiving lists?Edelman and Amendola hold most playoff receiving records, it’s due to volume.
I'm only mentioning Brady when it's relevant to our discussion. How exactly does one leave Brady out of a discussion about quarterback play in the postseason?Stop hijacking threads with your Brady ***********.
