I’ll say this, all those other QB’s had heavy run centric offenses. None relied on their QB play like the Commanders do Daniels. Leading his team this far is very impressive.

Impressive that it has happened a number of times all recently

The kids coming out of college sometimes have the depth, smarts and creativity + skills needed. Amazing

Exactly none of these QBs made it to the Super Bowl though. Roethlisberger made it in year 2 and won the Super Bowl. He is the youngest QB to win a Super Bowl.
