48. Dan Marino, Dolphins, XIX (1985)
49. Roger Staubach, Cowboys, X (1976)
50. Trent Dilfer, Ravens, XXXV (2001)

I find this list highly suspect.

[kinoxi]

Everybody knows Trent was the greatest QB of all time...

[JRios1968]

Number 1:

Number 5:

Number 9:

Oh yeah, Number 2:

Any questions?

Some of these are suspect partly because the QB’s in the 60’s and 70’s were part of offenses that operated around a running game. Back then if a QB threw for 200 yards that was a pretty good day. Nowadays a QB would be expected to throw for 300 yards.

[kinoxi]

Was sarcasm. The characteristics of a ‘good quarterback’ always have and always will change. He’s the guy behind the line when they win.

Troy Aikman should be third, his passer rating is 146, behind Montana (180) and Young (151).

Williams is 134 and Bradshaw’s was 124, but we know why he was dropped, because he played for Dallas.

Who has the most rings?
Brady.
Not even the end of story.
Ring five in a week.

[Ditto]

49. Roger Staubach, Cowboys, X (1976)

As I recall SB X, Roger did not have the kind of day he was accustomed to. Out of 82 QB SB performances, I'd say number 50 is about right for that particular day. It was not his best day for sure, but the Steel Curtain had a lot to say about that.

You notice he is also in the top 20 for losing QBs (SB XIII.)

Now that was a great game that went down to the wire. One of the top 2 or 3 SBs ever, IMHO.

[Perdogg]

If you are going to go on statistics, then this list is bogus.

[rabidralph]

Sonny Jurgensen will always be my #1!

[kinoxi]

It's an opinion poll.

[Perdogg]

Then statistics are meaningless.

[kinoxi]

Which stats are more important?

[Mr. Jeeves]

Any questions?

None whatsoever. Greatest team in NFL history.

[Ditto]

Who has the most rings? Brady. Not even the end of story. Ring five in a week.

IIRC, Tom has 'only' 3 rings now. If he wins again, he will be tied with Bradshaw and Montana who each have 4 SB rings.

[dfwgator]

And don't forget Garo Yepremian.

[JRios1968]

Absolutely! 5 times in the big game, 5 times hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy...

[Tribune7]

Leaving Namath out of the top 10 is lame. I guess the trick is to play the Broncos.

[Lakeshark]

Um.....Brady only has three.......perhaps four in a week and a half. We shall see.

For what it's worth those three rings only put him behind Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana. Pretty rarified air.
