Let Freedom Ring - Busting the Myth of the Salary Cap

[GTripp0012]

Now, the greatest QB seasons of all time (Manning 04-06, Brady 07, Marino 84, Young 94) are 3+ wins better than average, and since the position is so volatile, probably 7-8 wins better than the very worst seasons of all time. So there's a ton more variance in football than in baseball, which as FRPLG and Schneed pointed out, is a sample size issue.

So while I would agree based on that that QB is the single most position in sports, it's still not an important enough position to make or break a team. A great quarterback can consistently get an above average team into the playoffs, but the rest of the roster is so important in football because you have to build strong consistently to sustain winning.
