You're confusing correlation with causality.

Great teams win championships. And yes, great teams have great players, including at the QB position, but you're assigning too much value to it in hindsight.
How many QBs are in the HOF BECAUSE they have a ring? How many of those guys would not be in the HOF if they didn't have a ring?
Your argument becomes circular at that point. Super Bowl winners need a HOF QB, and a QB is HOF worthy by winning SBs...

Terrible analogy.
Unlike in basketball where an elite player like Lebron James can simply take matters into his own hands and score on every trip down the floor, the QB can only be successful when his friends are being cooperative. His o-line cooperates by preventing large, agile, and angry defensive linemen from plowing into him before he even has a chance to get his feet set. And hsi receiving corps cooperates by creating a reasonable amount of space between themselves and the defender such that a pass can be safely attempted, and then also by catching that pass when it comes spiraling in their direction.
ETA: Oh, and he doesn't play on defense or special teams either. That's sort of an important consideration.
