This might be true, but he definitely carried this team for a few years before that.

And as far as his coming back cost the team a couple of Superbowl appearances, I disagree. We don't know for sure the QB situation would have been any better. This team has not drafted QBs well recently and we can't assume we would have landed any free agent QB.

I’m like you, I really don’t think there was anyone out there that was any better. His injury was unfortunate and the injury to Taysom and Murray cost us. That being said having to bring in Hill or Winston when you want to take a shot down field isn’t a recipe for success.
