There are pro's and con's to that argument. Of the teams that played in or even won the SB without a star QB, there are enough to say it's not essential. But they still need to be a good QB. Even recently there are good examples of average or above average QB's winning it (hell, Hurts won one).
But, there's an argument for a) a HoF QB being more likely to lead you to the SB and b) getting there more than once. Only 2 non HoF QB's (Roethlisberger and Plunkett) have won more than once.
Note, these numbers will change upwards assuming some of the non-HoF QB's become HoF, like Brady and Mahomes. But they won't go up massively.
HoF QB wins - 29 (48%)
HoF QB losses - 20 (33%)
HoF QB's to win SB - 16 (44%)
HoF QB's to lose SB - 10 (22%)
