I have often wondered if there was any significant way to chart vs. time how Super Bowl winners are built. For example, could the formula for success be that you get your QB 1st, your OL 2nd, your WR 3rd, and your RB last, such that they all hit their prime in a certain year?
I don't have the means to conduct this kind of analysis - I'm not even sure what would be the most meaningful way to present the information would be, but there has always been something telling me that certain parts come before others before a winner is born.
(as an example, IMHO, I think WM's talent will be wasted on JP. WM's replacement will more likely be wearing a SB ring before he will be, since JP will come into his own many years from now.)
