NFL teams of the 1990s that would've won a Super Bowl if they had an above average QB?

I can’t remember yesterday and you want me to remember good teams 30 years ago that needed a QB?

Hebert wasn't all that bad. The problem was you had OC Carl Smith punting or kicking a field goal on every 4th & short. His play calling killed the offense.

1990: Giants did win it with a pretty average QB in Hostetler. Probably the third best team in the NFL that year behind 49ers and Bills.

1991: No one beating Redskins.

1992: No one beating Dallas or SF.

1993: Same.

1994: Same.

1995: Pittsburgh could have beaten Dallas with good QB play.

1996: Only way GB *maybe* doesn’t win it is if they had had to go play Dallas at Texas Stadium for about the 10th time on a row.

1997: Denver or GB.

1998: Should have been an iconic SB between Denver and Minnesota. Both had good QB’s already.

1999: Rams, Titans, and Jax all had good QB’s. Bucs didn’t, though,

All told, I’m going 1995 Pittsburgh and 1999 Bucs with the best chance.

The Giants beat the 49ers and the Bills in the playoffs that year.

There was nothing wrong with Bobby Hebert. He was a bomber at NW state and the USFL. The problem was he didn't any explosive Wr's and his OC was Carl Smith.

And I don’t think they were as good as either team. Both beat the Giants in the regular season. 49ers lost Montana in the NFCCG and Bills were a narrowly missed FG away from winning the SB.

Not going to look it up but bet the 49ers and Bills were favored in both playoff games. The stars aligned for the Giants that year.

Really? Look up Hebert's stats in his 3 games. Grant it, the 87 match up against Minnesota was over at halftime. The defense didn't show up, and nobody could stop Anthony Carter, including San Francisco the following week. He crapped the bed vs Atlanta, and Philadelphia.

Both lost when it mattered most. And the 49ers lost Montana because he got murdered by the Giants defense.

They were. The 49ers playoff game was the Matt Bahr with 5 field goals, 15-13 final score.

The bucs would of won at least 1 maybe 2.

We had 4 guys(Sapp, Brooks, Lynch, Barber) currently in the hall of fame on defense for the second half of the 90's. Also Hardy Nickerson had his best years for Tampa that defense was fricking loaded. Shaun King would of taken us to the super bowl without the robbery.
