IMO, it is much more than that.

Other than being a Packer fan, was is your reasoning?
You need an owner willing to spend, enough revenue streams to allow him to, a coach who knows what they are doing and a talented roster.
They got the owner.
Who knows if they have the coach or not, but they can at some point.
They have certainly had talented enough rosters.
Only item missing is the money.
To say a team won't ever win a SB just because they won't isn't a valid reason.
As for the Cards, why don't you give the Stadium FIVE GAMES before drawing a conclusion. Ravens won it all once they got a new home (which allowed them to bring in some high-priced FAs like Sharpe and Woodson). Pats won it all once they got a new home. Steeler's new home allowed them to keep their top players from leaving (Hampton, Smith, Ward, Farrior, Porter). Bucs won it all shortly after their new home was built. In fact, I bet you can go back through virtually all the recent SuperBowl winners and see that they have had increased revenue streams via a new Stadium in recent past.
That isn't to say a new stadium will do it, just that it is PART of the equation. Specifically, the money it generates. That money allows teams to be aggressive in FA to address needs. Allows them to pay a premium coaching staff. And allows them to ensure they can keep their top FAs from walking.
