^^^^^

Agree with pretty much all of that.

But teams win Superbowls even without elite QBs.  If the coaching and culture had been better, there's no reason Romo or Dak couldn't have won a Superbowl.

Heck, even Trent Dilfer won a Superbowl.

oh I definitely agree that Romo was good enough and Dak is good enough to win a Super Bowl with the right coach and pieces around them. but they aren't the kind of guys that will put the team on their back and elevate the team up another level.

Trent is probably a bad example, he had arguably the greatest defense of all-time and was handing the ball off to Jamal Lewis who was an ELITE RB in the early to mid 2000s and is a guy to who this day is one of only a handful to rush for 2,000 in a season. Jamal Lewis only played 10 seasons and missed like 2 of them but he should probably be an NFL HOF'er one day. When he was healthy he was automatic 1,000+ yard a season rusher. He was a DUDE. Straight up man child.

Great example would be Jalen Hurts. Eagles built a gnarly DL/front 7 and signed an elite RB and had a great OL and road that to a Super Bowl. Hurts is a really good QB that plays on a stacked team.

Jim McMahon & the 85 Bears

J Mac was actually a very good QB before that asshole Packer wrecked him.

I've always been a Cowboys fan but I really liked watching the '85 Bears play football.  That season is some of the earliest NFL that I remember following on my own and not just because my parents of grandparents had it on the TV, and I would search to see if the Bears were going to be on and make sure to watch it.

Probably the best defense I ever watched. That was a fun year.

and Marino ripped them to shreds. most talented QB/greatest pure passer the game has ever and will ever see imo.

Steve Fuller started at game for Da Bears

Marino finished the game 14-for-27 for 270 yards with 3 touchdowns and an interception.

young Marino before all the knee and achilles injuries was insanely nimble on his feet and had the most magical arm of any QB that's ever picked up a football. dude was much like Barry Sanders at RB- just a singular otherworldly talent and so obviously head and shoulders above anyone else at their positions in terms of pure talent and ability.

He comes from well before the time I was paying attention, but my dad always found it unbelievable that Marino didn't get a ring.  

[FearlessF]

Marino had the greatest arm of history at his time, for sure
my little brother was a Dolphins fan at the time, so I couldn't give Dan the respect he deserved

Jerry Jones trading for Joe Milton. Lol.
