winning a super bowl shouldn't be the arbiter of whether one is top-notch or not. if it was, mark rypien would be considered better than dan marino. that's preposterous. people tend to forget that it's a team sport. qb's get tons of attention, whereas many folks can't even name their entire defensive line, or offensive for that matter. it's the same as in hockey, where crosby is 'better' than ovie, because crosby won the cup. yep, all by himself he won that.
