Others may not agree with that belief, but I feel it’s a reasonable argument…, unprovable, but reasonable. That defense was legit, it destroyed the Saints offense.

So what percentage of influence would place on the outcome of victory based on QB play?

Because this discussion is about to get real interesting in seven months where no less than four other teams just changed their starting QBs...

Tom Brady's experience and poise was absolutely the difference in TB getting to and winning the SuperBowl; yes, a great defense was also necessary...

Something Sean Payton took years to figure out, accept after winning only one Superbowl and getting rid of the only competent D-coordinator he had at that point...
