I seem to recall a 2002 Philadelphia Eagles team that made the playoffs after Donovan McNabb was injured in November 2002. The backup made it through one game before being injured, and the third stringer (A.J Feeley - now with the Dolphins) had a winning record. It can happen.
But as everyone else is saying, you need a good front office to win consistently in today's NFL. Two of the best teams at cap management/personnel decisions have been the Pats and the Eagles. If you want to win one season, blow cap money. If you want to win consistently, choose the right players in the draft and don't overspend in free agency.
