Trent Dillhole.

He had Jamal Lewis but name one of his WR's without looking it up

No way I can name one!

BUT he did have one of the nastiest defenses behind him Matt.

I still havnt looked it up yet but I believe he had one Shannon Sharpe AKA TE/WR specialist

I had to look it up Paul. Actually not the worst WR's a team could have.

Billy Davis
Qadry Ismail
Patrick Johnson
Jermaine Lewis
Brandon Stokley

I agree about the D. I thought you meant talent around "him" on the O side of the ball.

Without looking it up I would go with the 1970 colts. Unitas at QB had Tom Matte at RB, Ray Perkins and nobody at WR, he had a HOF tight end in John Mackey. Bubba Smith, a young young Ted Hendricks were the HOFers, Mike Curtis was pretty good if I remember right, but I can't really think of any other "stars" on that team.

Do QB's win super bowls?

Tom Brady & Joe Montana's "game winning Drives" say yes.

For sure QB's win super bowls.

well duh, someone has to score the last points. Pats don't get a ring in 2001 without their defense, I think we can agree on that.

Sure but Brady was the MVP- thats not debatable.

joestalin · January 26, 2009 1:29AM

Perhaps Im missing your point, I guess what you are looking for is what team won it all with a bunch of no namers on offense. Can you really call
what Brady had on the o line weak? Sure someone has to catch it, but NE had a solid D line and a solid O line that year. Do you think they even
get into the playoffs without that? I don't.

Actually, the MVP should have went to Vinatieri in that game.

Nah, Brady probably should have won the MVP against the Rams, but you wouldn't have even won the 'Snow Game' if it wasn't for Vinatieri (and Brady in a strange way, I guess). That 2001 Pats team had the least amount of offensive talent ever. Antowain Smith, Troy Brown, etc.

Would have been nice to have some defense in the last 2 minutes in 2008, after what would have been another Brady game-winning drive.

joestalin · January 26, 2009 4:21AM

Speaking of Brady, what is going on up there. Are they going to keep both Brady and Cassel?

I know a few teams that could use a QB

Per Belechick SOP, everyone will be kept in the dark as long as possible.

No doubt about it! I was actually a little nervous about these ( hopefully bogus ) reports about him not being ready next year but knowing how the Patriots operate I should know that there will be conflicting reports about his progress. I love how Cassel is smart enough to tell the press that he would be "content" on being Brady's back up

I will give that young man his due! He knows the game..

grote15 · January 26, 2009 7:22AM

I just have this feeling that a team that throws a boatload of money to sign cassel will wind up regretting it once he's outside the NE system..

Eli Manning!!!
Oh, wait. I thought you said "with the least amount of talent."

nike24801 · January 27, 2009 11:27AM

I'd go with 1981 Niners along with the 2001 Pats, very similar teams IMO. Montana & Brady as young QBs winning their first SB w/o a whole lot of big-name players around them on either side of the ball. Only other HOFers on Montana's '81 team were then-rookie Ronnie Lott and DE Fred Dean, who just got in last year and is still a much-debated selection. Brady will have Vinitieri and maybe a Richard Seymour on D. Both with HOF coaches on the sidelines, though. How about "who is the worst coach to win a SB?"

Barry Switzer

MeteoriteGuy · January 27, 2009 12:59PM

How about Jeff Hostetler? The Giants had an awesome defense back then (just ask Montana) but I imagine their offense was lacking compared to other SB winners. An end of his career Ottis Anderson perhaps the biggest name on the offense?

alnavman · January 28, 2009 5:57AM

MY BAD, I thought the question was who was the worst QB to win the super bowl.......... if that was the question my answer below stays

maybe Tampa Bay??? awesome d, but I can't even remember who their QB was that year....

perkdog · January 28, 2009 6:00AM

<< maybe Tampa Bay??? awesome d, but I can't even remember who their QB was that year.... >>

Funny stuff- at work today we were trying to remember the QB who started or won 2 Super Bowls with 2 different teams ( Craig Morton ) and I thought Trent Dilfer QB'ed for that YUCS team but it was Brad Johnson.

alnavman · January 28, 2009 6:03AM

Brad Johnson, wow, I would have never guessed his name......show's ya how soon we forget.....

cardbender · January 30, 2009 3:44PM

Have to agree on the '81 Niners. The WR's were solid with Clark and Solomon. But they had nothing at RB. A rather no-name defense too that started three rookies in the def. backfield.

It was also pre Jerry Rice, pre Roger Craig, pre John Taylor, pre Rathman. It was all on Joe Montana.

They beat the dreaded Cowboys with 'The pass' to make it there too which at the time was a huge upset.
