You can insert any NFL QB into your argument but you don't because it would sound ridiculous, you feel that fact that they are brothers makes it sound more like a conspiracy. "It's mathematically impossible for Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady to make it to 8 Super Bowls in the past 13 years" and they are both in the same conference so that actually is way more fathomable of a conspiracy than two other QBs in different conferences.... if you are going to make up BS theories at least put some time and effort into it.
And you have obviously have never played sports a day in your life. Let's take a look at HS sports for a second since I'm sure you'd come up with some conspiracy for college if I went there. What about that football team in Alabama, Hoover that has won like 5 state titles since 2003, no such thing as a dynasty? Or Archbishop Wood here in Pa, they have 4 in that same stretch.
I'll even throw in my own experience with HS baseball. My junior year of baseball we went 4-16 and didn't finish over .500 for years before that. My senior year we limped into the playoffs barely and then mowed through districts and into states smoking teams that had beat us throughout the year. Kids that didn't play very well throughout the year game up big for us in that run but I guess an NFL caliber QB can't play well after not playing so well before that.
How about the fact that there are 3 High Schools within 50 miles of each other here in rural Pa that have combined for 7 state champions in softball in the last 12 years and lost in the finals 5 times in that stretch? This past year two of them played against each other in the finals. That's gotta be mathematically impossible right?
