The original question was "How many of the top 5 paid QBs have won a SB?"
Then you go back to 2013 to list three examples where teams who presumably had QBs who were not top 5 paid won the SB anyway: Ravens in 2013, Seahawks in 2014, and Eagles in 2018.
So in the span of 6 years there were 162 occurrences of a team not having a top 5 paid QB (6 seasons, 27 teams each year that don't have a top 5 paid QB ). And three of those 162 teams won a SB. That's 1.9%.
Over that same 6 year span there were 30 teams who did have a top 5 paid QB and 3 of them won a SB. That's 10%.
Conclusion: a team with a top 5 paid QB is more than 5 times as likely to win a SB as a team without one.
I wonder what would happen if you did it the way I mentioned and looked at qbs in championship games (going back say 5 years). Because the Patz hogged the superbowls, so maybe asking about the SB doesn't give a clear enough picture. The criterion is simple--it;'s qbs on their 2nd contracts or beyond. There are exceptions like Foles who was on a back-up qb's contract.
