Out of curiosity, was Marc Bulger a good QB or did he benefit from having Bruce and Holt as his targets? The running game featured Faulk in for a bit then SJax afterwards. Just thought I’d ask the question...
Of course he wasn't, but that wasn't the question the OP posed. Warner had a spark of greatness that Bulger didn't seem to have. Oh Bulger would gun the ball down the field, but you didn't feel like you felt with Kurt in the same situation. I expected Kurt to do something great in crunch time, and he often did.Yes but he just wasn't as good as warner.

Maybe? I think Goff is more durable than Bulger was, although it's hard to know for sure.Things being equal, I'd trade Goff for Bulger today and not look back.
Yes he was good just not as good as Warner.

Joe CU Buff Klopfenstein...argh. I am a Colorado guy and his pick so high killed me. Head scratcher at best.I think if the Rams had picked Andrew Whitworth in 2006 instead of Joe Klopfenstein in the 2nd round that year. A young Whit might have saved Bulger from a lot of hits.
Joe Montana had the greatest WR of all time and the very definition of a system around him. That same system won Super Bowls after Montana and carried on with even greater QB stats after Montana left.Meh. Both he and Warner were products of the system. Trent Green and Jamie Martin could have done the same until the league caught on. It was a revolutionary offense, and we all saw what happened to those two QBs when they had no surrounding talent.
Good QBs? Sure. Big deal though. So were Archie Manning, Jeff George, Jake Plummer, Rich Gannon, Tim Couch, Andrew Luck, and so on. If you don’t land in the right situation, you’re fucked. Or you can be a meh QB and hit jackpot. Jim McMahon, Trent Dilfer, Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler, Brad Johnson, Nick Foles, etc.
The only truly GREAT QBs are Dan Marino, Tom Brady, and Joe Montana. The rest can be put in different tiers between very good to meh. Burger and Warner were good in small windows. Those other 3 were always great. Know why? Because their teams kept the same systems - tailored TO them - for basically their whole careers.
Change my mind.
