Matthew Stafford finally gets the chance to prove himself as a franchise quarterback

Exactly what is a franchise QB? After doing some research, it turns out their really isn't a clear and concise definition for that particular label. There are numerous adjectives used repetitively in seemingly every attempted description: consistency, reliability, talent, leadership, and football IQ. While I wholeheartedly agree that any franchise QB needs all those outstanding attributes, my definition has always included the one quality impossible to know for certain about any QB until he gets the opportunity to prove it; can he win the Super Bowl after leading his team to the highest pinnacle in the NFL.
