Without those QBs the teams you listed have won 0 SBs. It looks to me that only the Ravens have won consistently without a great QB.

Not only did the 49ers find Joe Montana and Steve Young, they also drafted Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick who took them to the Championship game and a SB. They also traded for Jimmy Grapes and went to a SB with him.
Steelers identified Big Ben. Kordell Stewart was identified by them and went to the AFCCG. They drafted Bradshaw. They found Neil O’Donnel and went to a SB with him.
The Packers found both Favre and Rodgers when nobody else thought much of them. They deserve massive credit for that.
The Broncos fell into a whiny Elway who was “the greatest QB prospect ever” at the time. Then they fell into Manning who was a HOF before he ever put on a jersey.
They can’t find any real talent themselves. They never have.
