Trent Dilfer on the other hand was a very average Quarterback, but still won a Super Bowl while being an efficient "game manager" for the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, while relying upon strong running game (Jamal Lewis & Priest Holmes), and one of the greatest defenses of all time.

I think that comparing average robots that end up on historically good alliances to game manager quarterbacks is a bad comparison. Majority of the robots in the 2nd pick on top alliances usually do one specific thing on the field really well. I would compare this to being like Julian Edelman or Wes Welker in football or Matt Bonner in basketball. These are players who are overlooked because they don't have the obvious physical attributes but do small but very important things well like route running or shooting threes.
