Well hell then I'm going with my 4 and give me Alex Smith. He's by know means a great starter but KC just does not have the weapons and that "offensive genius" Reid wouldn't know what to do if he had the weapons. Come to think bout it tho Seattle pretty much has the consummate gm manager starting for them now already. He's certainly no A-Rodg,Brady, Peyton, or Brees anyhow.
Which playoff-bound team could win the Super Bowl without its starting QB??

#38Good point about KC, their D has wilted against decent QBs. Maybe my original point about NE's D still has weight?Originally posted by R.P. McMurphyCowgirls don't have a defense or a smart enough hc, KC can't beat good teams in reg season and unless they are playing Jeff Tuel, Fitzpatrick etc that defense is not great. Look at the #'s vs Peyton, Rivers, Luck vs the rest of the field they have faced it's night and day all padded stats. Gonna add Zona to my list and possibly a dark horse in Philly. So Seattle, Frisco, Zona, Philly in that order for me. In order to pull this off you have to get some offense at least with a good/great rb and a couple playmakers ,bring a defense that's gonna pack a lunch and smack the other team around for 60 min,control line scrimmage on both sides and probably even throw in a big play on special teams. Mentioned the Hos already but Brady won his first as a reliever as well! Anyone think of another?
Brady won his first after starting most of the season. Bledsoe was the "reliever" in the AFCC.
If we go back to the 2000 Ravens, Dilfer didn't start until mid season after Tony Banks went down.
But we have to go back to 1990 to see Hos take over for Simms week 15 and take them the rest of the way.
Before that, go back to 1987 Redskins and Doug Williams taking over for Schroeder week 17 and going all the way.
Originally posted by R.P. McMurphyNext ? Lol... Are we talking the backup on current rosters? Or are we just being hypothetical here and wondering which team could pull it off with a "decent" Dilfer esque type guy if their #1 went down? To be honest I don't even know who holds the clipboard on most these squads haha.
Yeah, it's a very academic exercise. I guess it's a hot topic because Romo and Rodgers went down, who's next?
Someone mentioned Foles, but he's kinda like Dilfer who started over half the year, that's not really a true backup.Comment -

#42i agree. Seattle are San Fran have the 2 most complete teams. Although Kaep and Wilson are goodOriginally posted by BennyBigNutsThe Seahawks and 49ers both could absolutely 100% win it all without their qb's.
they both suck and if either were to get hurt, you may even catch an upgrade out of the injury.
Russell Wilson- currently THE most overrated Qb in the NFL now that all the jerkoffs have realized how garbage ELI is and always was.
they are no where near the caliber of a Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Cam Newton...Comment -

#46Orton is the best back up he might be better than Romo but Dallas can't win a playoff game with that Defense EVER with any QB.Originally posted by Big BearYou could say Cowboys bc kyle orton is the best back up in the league.

#59Far as Vick goes I disagree. No way I want to put that much trust into a low I.q. wildcard like Vick who is going to go off the script too much and probably give the other teams QB (who I'm gonna assume is a Rodgers, Brady, Manning since we are in a SB ) 3/4 extra possessions off bonehead turnovers. Just give me the safe smart guy who is gonna stick to the gameplan while not trying to do too much In this spot and let the cast around him mainly the defense dictate the pace and flow.Comment -

#65Lol no doubt Bradshaw was dumb as a stump I believe someone said once he could not spell cat if you spotted him the c and the t hahahah. That was a little different era though and Terry was never asked to do too much there is no way he could lead in today's nfl and do the job of a Peyton or Brady. It's about leadership and accountability too and making your guys BELIEVE more than anything. Look at Rgme he is a prime example of a smart guy that just does not get it. Still though end of the day I want a guy under center that possesses leadership and has something working between the ears.Comment -

#66Then you have a guy like Tebow who inspires and a born leader pretty much opposite of Rgme. However he obviously lacks the skills required at the pro level and to me comes across dumb as a stump as well. He may be well versed in the bible but the way he stutters and mumbles thru interviews is sad. He certainly does not seem like a guy that is well spoken or well versed in other areas of life. I've heard some mention he should go into broadcasting....god help us all lol!Comment -

#67Tebow scored 22 on the wonderlic, still way below the NFL average for active Super Bowl winning QBs: 30.7.
I like Tebow and wish he'd find a way back into the NFL. I see nothing wrong with expressing one's personal beliefs, ESPECIALLY since it seems so politically incorrect to do so. In some ways Jesus' message is anti-establishment and anti-authority, but instead finding authority in a personal savior which ultimately can only be witnessed personally. I'd like to see more Tim Tebow religious types in the NFL, hopefully with more intelligence, questioning the authority everywhere and perhaps even within the scripture itself. In a sport that's meant to distract us, I'd like to see more voices offering an alternative message to the consumerist tripe between timeouts.Comment -
