Mark Rypien won a Superbowl MVP

He also shares that record with 6 other QBs.

P Manning
Foles
Y A Tittle
George Blanda
Sid Luckman
Adrian Burk
Joe Kapp
Drew Brees

Now.... my extensive NFL knowledge doesn't go super far back... but I'm willing to bet there's an average QB or two on that list.

Foles also did it to a terrible Oakland team that had 4 wins and allowed the 4th most points in the league that year.

You would lose that bet. Every player on that list were pro bowl players. Most were champions, and  current or future hall of famers.

Alright... you made me do some work...

Adrian Burk
TD–INT:
61–89
Yards:
7,001
Passer rating:
52.2

Average no? Sure he made a pro bowl or two.... but pro bowl doesn't mean much. His career stats are average I'd say, even for the era of football he played in.

Joe Kapp
Rat 48.9
Yds 5911
Y/A 6.4
TD 40
Int 64

I mean come on.... I'm not even saying these guys were garbage... Alls I'm saying is winning an award for being great once (a pro bowl, or a singular great game) or happening into some sort of record doesn't exactly elevate you beyond average.

Being better than average is playing above an average line for a long period.
And to be honest, Foles has actually been less than average for the majority of his career. Save for one season and a couple games with a really good Eagles roster.
Outside of Philly Foles played like poo with poo around him.

Dilfer is a champion too btw.
So ya know, rings don't tell the whole story either.
