And as your Peyton Manning example shows, if your defense is dominant enough, you can win without an elite QB. Peyton was instrumental but he wasn't elite at that time. And they won the SB 27-10. Build a D that can consistently hold teams to that number and your chances are good even without a great QB. Add a good, and clearly ascending QB, and your chances increase to very good.
They faced to BIG bad wolves in the Steeler's and Pats, let's not forget about them.
Both tougher opponents than what the faced in the SB.
They needed 43 points from the offense to get through them.
Don't march out stats on ME for they do not encompass the headiness and experience Peyton Manning demonstrated in those games.
They don't even come close.
