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.
the league is NOT dominated by defense... more teams have set franchise scoring records in the last five years than any other five-year period since the merger.
it's easy to say now that stewart, collins, warner, and dilfer are bad QBs, but take a look at their numbers from those seasons... or better yet, talk to the defenses they scorched. bad QBs don't win NFC title games 41-0.
just like all we hear about is how pass-happy the league is, yet rushing records are getting broken or threatened every season. jamal lewis, priest holmes, very recently terrell davis, marshall faulk, edgerrin james...
donovan mcnabb is a very good qb with the potential to be a great qb, and above all he's a winner. apologies to the 50-60% of participants here who can't deal with the fact that he's black. it was rush's fight that rush picked. mcnabb didn't start it and wanted no part of it. so get over it.
