Eli?
Kidding.
Uh, Brady's first SB winning team was pretty run of the mill, and not all that much better in the first round of the playoffs. I think, moreover, there have been plenty of near-miss super bowl stories from not-so-great teams, like Marino, as you mentioned, but also Warner this year, the 2003 Panthers, the 1985 and 1996 Patriots as well.
I guess the Raiders of 1980 would probably be called the "worst" super bowl winner of all time, but Jim Plunkett isn't exactly on the verge of Canton. Anyway, looks like your big picture point holds. Downright sucky teams don't win the SB.
