just pointing out the blatant falacy of your statement that no bad QB has ever made it this far.

there's a difference between bad and "not great". Dilfer and Collins are not BAD QBs. would I make either the cornerstone of my franchise? no. but teams don't make the conference final when the one man touching the ball on every offensive play is "bad".

there's a lot more to team success than the ability of one player. for example, as much as I hate him, kerry collins came into the NFL with more ability than phil simms. but go on thinking pro football is a video game.

Well you got the first sentence right. But Dilfer and Collins are most definitely BAD QBs. Then there's good ol Kordell Stewart who's a very bad QB and made a few conference championships. Given how Kurt Warner has performed since his last trip to the conference championship it's getting hard to not say he's a bad QB.

Bad QBs most certainly do make it to conference championships, now that QBs no longer call their own plays it takes less talent in that spot to have a good season and a good playoff run. Now that defenses rule the NFL the minimum talent level in QB drops even lower. Bad QBs with expensive jewelry are now a part of the game.
