That's the difference between an elite QB and Jimmy.
Why do you guys keep singing the same song. I thought we already went through this, that Jimmy G isn't elite.
Tell me do you need an elite QB yo win a Super Bowl??
Elite - not necessarily
Better than Jimmy - yes
This.
I say no.. not this. We nearly won 2x. You can't tell me you turned your TV off after Q3 of the SB or NFCCG. We were handed 4th qtr leads in both. Tartt + 3rd and 15. Plays there to be made.
IMO neither game would have been close enough for a comeback if we had a better QB.
So yeah I'll say again
Elite - not necessary
Better than Jimmy - yes.
Jim Kelly and Dan Marino are far greater QB's than Jimmy G. Just wondering if they won a Super Bowl??
Really? Dan Marino and Jim Kelly?
It's 2022, even Trent Dilfer winning would be a bad example and that was 20 years ago. The game has changed so much you're comparing apples and oranges.
Even if we were to accept Kelly/Marino, we can strike Kelly from the list because the guy made SB's but lost to a more elite QB each time.
You would have been better off mentioning Nick Foles winning, at least that's recent.
Even then you're asking for a highly unlikely exception. Not quite lotto ticket exception, but you're hoping for "any given Sunday".
Some fans just aren't keen on 50-50 bets every week and would like a QB who stacks the odds a little more in our favour.
That's simply how I feel. Jimmy is a coin flip when the game falls on him. In a playoff series when you have potentially 3-4 coin flips the odds are really not in your favour.
Not sure how you can go and say Jimmy didn't have faults in this game.
