Super Bowl wins are often used to determine the greatness of a
quarterback.[1] Of the eligible players, only
Jim Plunkett has won multiple Super Bowls and not been inducted into the
Hall of Fame.
Peyton Manning and
Tom Brady are the only starting quarterbacks to have won Super Bowls for two
NFL teams, while
Craig Morton and
Kurt Warner are the only other quarterbacks to have started for a second team. Jim McMahon won a second Super Bowl ring having been a backup on the Brett Favre-led Green Bay Packers team that won Super Bowl XXXI.
Dawson was
1–0 in an
AFL Championship game (1962) played before the NFL and AFL first met in the Super Bowl.
Three pairs of quarterbacks faced off twice in the Super Bowl: Staubach and Bradshaw, Aikman and Kelly, and Brady and Eli Manning. In each case the same quarterback (Bradshaw, Aikman, and Manning) won both games.[22]
