The teams that end up in the Super Bowl each year are, by default, the two best teams in the league. It doesn’t mean that they will be the two best teams the following year, but they are the teams used most frequently to define what successful teams should look like - at least until the next season begins.
Unfortunately, that success model contains a lot of soft factors that are not easily quantifiable or replicable, like scheme, coaching, individual talent, and much more. But there are things which are quantifiable, three of which I’d like to focus on today: each team’s draft pedigree, something called The Rule of 50 (which is much simpler than it sounds), and team age.
