Aaron Rodgers only has a decent O-Line as do the Steelers. Steelers get the nod because they can actually run the ball on a regular basis.
The main reason both QB's have been successful is because both Ben and Aaron have become masters of improvising and moving around while still remaining accurate. People were expecting the next evolution of QB's to be a bunch of guys like Vick but rather we ended up with a relatively large group of Steve Young incarnates. Plus with all the crazy blitz packages in the NFL these days it seems that you need either A) A QB with a ridiculously quick release (ie Peyton) or a guy with great pocket awareness and mobility (Big Ben, Rodgers).
Also keep in mind both Super Bowl QB's have been among the most sacked QB's over the course of the past two years. Our main problem as it relates to our problems up front is that we've had virtually 0 resources poured into our line before 2010 (where we saw 5 players added).
