bricucci Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 If you take a look back the last 25 years of Superbowl winners there are one of two factors that each team had in common: 1. An Allpro or a future Hall of fame QB leading the team 2. A top 3 defense in the league. The reason I post this is two fold. 1. The redskins will not have the first factor next year so I really hope their defense upgrades and gets back in the top 3. 2. The only coach to buck this trend in my recent memory is Joe Gibbs and the 1987 Redskins. Was just looking back and thought it might be interesting to share.

bricucci Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson--neither were hall of fame or all-pro level qbs. You didn't read the post, Baltimore and Tampa were both top 3 defenses that year. Also, Brad Johnson did make the probowl that year as well.

BogeyMan Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Brunell should have made the Pro Bowl this year. The selection of Michael Vick was a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricucci Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 I agree, but I think its a stretch to say he will next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidenreich Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Off the top of my head here are the last 19 XXXIX- New England (Tom Brady)- check XXXVIII- New England (Tom Brady)- check XXXVII- Tampa Bay (Defense)- check XXXVI- New England (Tom Brady)- check XXXV- Baltimore (Defense)- check XXXIV- St Louis (here's an argument, although Warner had a great season) XXXIII- Denver (John Elway)- check XXXII- Denver (John Elway)- check XXXI- Green Bay (Brett Favre)- check XXX- Dallas (Troy Aikman)- check XXIX- San Fran (Steve young)- check XXVIII- Dallas (Troy Aikman)- check XXVII- Dallas (Troy Aikman)- check XXVI- Washington (Mark Rypien, was the defense great?) XXV- New York- (Hostetler, defense?) XXIV- San Fran (Joe Montana)- check XXIII- San Fran (Joe Montana)- check XXII- Washington- (Doug Williams Baby) XXI- New York (Phil Simms, defense?) XX- Chicago (Defense)- check i dont know the rankings, but the ones in question are St Louis, New York in 21, and our two wins. So your theory is valiadted pretty good right here........ Edit- i was doing this as hall of fame QB. Warner & Rypien were all pros in their super bowl seasons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCNightHawk Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 yah, the two factors are true. Our defense will be top notch next year as always, so we have one of the factors. I think that Brunell if he stays healthy will be just enough to get us to the superbowl level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAbrendan Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Cool analysis. However, that season, Doug Williams was brought from the trenches, correct? At that point in time, he wasn't a franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
