Barkley is 1 guy
They don’t win without Jalen Carter or many other players.
Key contributor? Hell yeah. But do they win without him?
Well, if Philly held KC to 20 points in the SB 2 years prior, they win that game too
And Barkley did shit in the SB win
Team game, they won because of the sum of their parts
Obviously Barkley can't hike the ball to himself. That's about as far as your argument has merit here. Love yuh man but this is an odd hill on which to plant your flag.

With a healthy Kupp, we likely win the 2018 season SB. Without him, in no way do we win the 2021 SB. Yet it is still a team game.

There is a reason elite players get paid elite money. By your premise, everyone on the team would make elite money.

I think you guys are comparing apples against oranges.

If the Eagles don't have 1 of the following 2 players, they don't win:

Barkley

or

Carter

It's a team game but those 2 players put the Eagles over the top of the Rams.

They were that critical in that game.
And I'd be OK with someone saying the Beagles don't win the SB without Carter or even one or two others. The question is centered around whether obtaining a certain player or type of player puts a team over the top to win the SB. Of course you need a really good team to even get there and there will be key players that make it happen. The Rams are a SB quality team. Is there a player that would put them over the top? No one knows for sure. But if you had a RB doing what Barkley can do, I think most would agree that we would be pretty unstoppable as a team.
