Why Denver winning SB 50 means there's hope for the Eagles

Caution: hot take coming.

The Denver Broncos just won Super Bowl 50 with a record low 194 yards of total offense, and I say this is good news for the Eagles, along with every other poor–to-middling NFL team.

For quite a few years now, my guiding principle has been that you need great quarterbacking to win the Super Bowl. Look at the names of the winning QBs over the past decade plus: Manning, Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Roethlisberger, Wilson and Flacco. And whatever you think of Joe Flacco overall, the year he won it, he had one of the best playoff runs of any QB in NFL history.
