I don’t think it comes down to being great on offense or defense specifically. I think you need to either be elite on one side of the ball and competent on the other OR good on both sides of the ball.
Some of the examples above aren’t really relevant anymore. Are the Brad Johnsons or Trent Dilfers of the world going to be the QBs on Super Bowl winning teams in today’s NFL? Not likely.
Before anyone brings up Foles, the Eagles wouldn’t have had the 1 seed without Wentz having the season he did. Foles wouldn’t have made it to the Super Bowl as a wildcard.
