Usually the around talent gets wasted or you win maybe one superbowl. Rarely are there multiple wins without an elite qb.
The mix for what exactly? Rodgers won a SB in 2010 when he had a dominant defense. Hasn't been back since. The Seahawks won in 2014 when they had an elite defense and run game, haven't won since. These teams make it to the playoffs but then get worked by more complete teams. The 49ers have been to more conference championship games over the past 5 years than Seattle has, so how are they "in the mix?"
Yeah imagine if the niners drafted like the Packers or the seahawks. We would be the browns or lions. Fighting to not go 0-16 each year. Both teams get away with it every year and make the playoffs and have a shot at winning a sb.
I mean I don't have to mention mahomes, or breeze, or peyton manning, or any of the other elite qbs but I will anyway. If your qb is elite your always in the playoffs trying to win a sb. When your like the niners and rams you can get close with every other position being dominant for a few years but the windows are short followed by years of reloading the roster.
An elite qb puts you in the playoffs with a shot at a sb their entire career. If you don't have one you need to either get insanely lucky and go on a role or have elite recievers, tight ends, oline and a dominant defense. Then you only get a small shot for a few years like the jags had, rams, eagles, etc...
