It is much harder to find one of those guys than it is to build a great defense, hence the mantra.
the mantra has just been around so long, people accept it as fact and never bother to see if its true. They can, of course always find anecdotal evidence that proves the point, like IDK, the 2007 NYFG.

Name a team that has won a title with a bad defense.

Or, you can look at the some actual data:
(total defense rank)
2008 Steelers (1)
2007 Giants (7)
2005 Steelers (4)
2002 Buccaneers (1)
2000 Ravens (2)
Others maybe not considered to have won on the D's back:
2010 Green Bay (5)
2009 Saints (25)
2006 Colts (21)
2004 Patriots (9)
2003 Patriots (7)
2001 Patriots (24)
3 of the 6 still had top 10 defenses. So, you either need an elite quarterback like Brady, Manning, Rodgers, or Brees, or you need a top defense. It also helps to have both.
