Teams with more appearances:
Patriots - Brady (HOF)
Packers - Rodgers (HOF)
Seahawks - Russ (I think he is, recency bias will hurt him)
Ravens - Flacco/Lamar
Steelers - Ben (HOF)
Chiefs - mostly mahomes (HOF), Alex smith
Eagles - team
Colts - manning (HOF)

Considering Andy dalton was the qb for a decade over that time frame, it’s pretty impressive if you ask me.  

Consistent Super Bowl threat, no.  But I believe there are only 5 active QBs that have won a SB: Mahomes, Rodgers, stafford, Russ, hurts.

Outside of Brady/mahomes, what team is a “consistent” SB threat?

Yes. The 5 times with Dalton was indeed impressive.

They kind of lucked into Burrow and Chase. Their goal was to hire Taylor and have him revamp the team around Dalton with a modern offense, but it went so bad that they lucked into Burrow. Then, they un-Bengal-like signed a bunch of free agents Bell, Reader, Hendrickson that all hit. And they had draft picks like Bates that hit. But, most of those guys are gone and they haven't replaced their production...especially on defense.
