So...Having a 'Franchise QB' Doesn't guarantee a superbowl?

Have you seen the talent they keep plugging in around him? Give it up already.
What talent? I saw Manning toss 11 interceptions in three games trying to overcompensate for the lack of talent around him. I also recall the Colts having one of the worst defenses in the league for multiple years in the 2000s and having the 32nd rushing attack last year. The owner and Polian got complacent with Peyton working some magic, that much was obvious when they stayed in-house with the coach.

We clearly have a different opinion on what constitutes talent.

yeah, Manning made the playoffs with Tamme and White, and Garcon who is legit.. with no running game until Rhodes came back to save the day..

I'd rather have one then not.

In the past 10 years, I can only think of two teams that didn't have a franchise QB that went onto win the SB (Tampa and Baltimore)

the rest: Manning(s), Roethlisburger, Brady, Brees, Warner

to add to that point, those 2 teams won around the same time, and before rule changes took place..

and to add to that, one of those teams had a defense the likes of which we may never see for a very long time, and the other one had a coach that just the year before was the head coach of their opponent

      Tua has maybe 2 passes further than 5 yards.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I'd give the rookie WR's more credit than that. Bryce did actually earn most his yards against the Chiefs, but that Saints game was all rookie WR's yac. It was probably like 80ish of the 170 total passing yards were yac by JT and Coker. The throws have been accurate though and he's obviously playing with more confidence. I still want to see something over 40 yards in the air at some point that looks good/accurate

      We’ll agree to disagree.  Maybe change my wording to better roster would have been more accurate. Gamecocks have some nice defensive players….but they are also thinner than Clemson all around.  it’s at Clemson.  Dabo.  Better overall roster.  And they are favored slightly….which essentially supports my prior post that either could win but if you had to pick without a dog in the race Clemson is the smarter pick.   straight up vs Carolina? I trust Clemson’s O more than Carolina’s.    Top 10 vs top 60 with the QB edge.  And Clemson’s D has some real studs on it too.   Which is what Vegas says.   I’ll make my pick game day.  Will depend on who can and can’t suit up for Clemson.  Carolina has been much healthier this year.  But ST could be the difference.  That Louisville game exposed some massive flaws in their kick game.  You don’t really want ST weakness showing itself vs Beamer
