I don't think that he meant mid-tier, either.

He said not overly reliant on an all-world QB, such as Manning or Luck. To me, the inference was that he thought that he could win with a good (but not great) quarterback.

A mid-tier quarterback is a middle-of-the-pack quarterback, which would be a mediocre quarterback. I don't think that he was insinuating that he could win with Spencer Rattler, a Mac Jones, a Geno Smith, or a Davis Mills. I think that he was insinuating that he could win with a quarterback who was somewhere between the 5th and 10th best out of 32 in the league.
