1 reason every NFL team can win the Super Bowl

Green Bay Packers

If they had held their focus just a few minutes longer against the Seattle Seahawks, the Green Bay Packers would have faced the New England Patriots in last year’s Super Bowl. Would it have changed the outcome? We’ll never know, but it would have been a fascinating game.

At the end of the day though, there’s one thing that gives the Packers the edge in winning another Super Bowl: quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is one of the few elite quarterbacks in the NFL today, and the team around him has very few flaws. Defensively, it’s a team which was solid last year, had a decent secondary (which they have improved) and a nice pass rush.

Offensively, the Packers have multiple weapons for Rodgers to throw to, an excellent running back and an offensive line that is one of the better ones in the NFL, even when they are banged up.

So the difference between the Packers and other similarly stacked teams is Rodgers and if they win a Super Bowl, it will be because he plays at his best. Rodgers gives this team a weapon that isn’t easily contained or slowed much less stopped.

There are only a few quarterbacks who, like Rodgers, tilt the field in their team’s favor. They aren’t fool-proof (ask Andrew Luck) but at the end of the day their presence makes a major difference in the outcome of a game and the possibility of a Super Bowl.
