#9 is # 1
If only he enjoyed a running game and front line...sigh.
How about them Redskins.

[Pharmboy]

Stay tuned. Don’t count your rings before they’re forged.

Brady has 3 rings, Bradshaw has 4.

3. Doug Williams, Redskins, Super Bowl XXII (1988)...Stats: 18-29, 340 yards, 4 TD, 1 interception in 42-10 win over Broncos. Williams started only two games in the 1987 regular season, but he was in top form, rallying the Redskins from an early 10-0 deficit. The Redskins scored touchdowns on five consecutive drives in the second quarter.

The perfect quarter. Probably the most surrealistic thing I've ever seen on a football field.

Well, the second most surrealistic. I had a team that did the same thing once. Four plays, touchdown. Two plays, touchdown. Three plays, touchdown. One play, touchdown. Two plays, touchdown. Halftime. And this was against a reasonably good team by the standards of our league. But that was a beer-and-pretzels adult recreational league, not the Super Bowl.

49ers are now stuck with John York for an owner

IMO, it all comes down to the owner - - look at what happened to the Patriots when Bob Kraft bought the team.

[PigRigger]

Phil Simms is either #2 or #3. Missed only 3 passes. Not even Montana or Young did that.

As I recall, two of those incompletions were drops.....it was almost the perfect game....Pretty much the same game Eli needs to play in Phoenix....

Truly was the greatest QB SB performance I ever witnessed....

[JRios1968]

Amen...

[ops33]

As much as I love the Packers and Favre, Joe is the greatest quarterback to play the game.

[Doohickey]

Staubach lobbied hard to call his own plays. Tom Landry told him that if he were still playing at 40, he could call some plays.

You need a history lesson. New England has been to 5 SB’s and has won 3 of them. Brady was the QB for those 3 wins. Two QB’s have the most rings - Bradshaw and Montana - 4 each. Don’t believe me - go to this site - http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/history - and check it out yourself.

[7thson]

As a Redskins fan, I also admired the 49ers when Montana was the QB. I remember one playoff game where Montana picked us to pieces. On some plays, if Darrell Green was any closer to the receiver he would have been called for interference - that’s how precise Montana was in that game.

"7. Troy Aikman, Cowboys, Super Bowl XXVII (1993)...Stats: 22-30, 273 yards, 4 TD, 0 interceptions in 52-17 win over Bills"

My favorite Super Bowl of all time! That was one hell of a fun game for us Cowboys fans and was the beginning of a few great years of football for Dallas.

[Non-Sequitur]

I’m surprised that they could find 19 perfomances worse than Rex Grossman’s.

[7thson]

Another guy who doesn’t know his football. Unitas and the Colts beat the Cowboys in SB V. Johnny U even threw a TD in the game. Look it up.

[7thson]

Plus, the receivers of that era had the bump and run to contend with, where you could bump the receiver all the way down the field until the ball was in the air, coming toward him. I would like to see some of todays elite receivers have to put up with that stuff.

[PigRigger]

Well obviously Nomo won't be on this guys list anytime soon...

Not that I like to kick someone whan their down, but this is absolutely hilarious....

Die-Hard Cowboy Fan Lamenting Loss To The Giants

[Tribune7]

I can see their thinking but they put too much emphasis on passing stats. The idea is not to throw but to win. I think they were a little hard on Griese too.

Now, granted a QB might not have all that much to do with a win (see Trent Dilfer, who they rank ahead of any Griese performance), but in Namath's case, he's the guy responsible despite no TDs.

[Tribune7]

As a Giants fan I never hated the 49ers the way I hated many of their other rivals (Philadelphia in particular)

Throughout history Philly has found wondrous ways of beating the Giants :-)

[7thson]

There are so many qreat QBs that never won a NFL championship. Sonny Jurgenson (he was on the Eagles 1960 Championship team but it was Norm Van Brocklin who won it), Fran Tarkentan, Y.A. Tittle, Dan Marino.

[Alberta's Child]

I'm not old enough to remember Unitas, but I've long said that Dan Marino was the best quarterback I've seen in my lifetime. Put him on a complete team with a good running game (something Miami never had while he was there) and solid all-around defense, and he would have had at least 3-4 Super Bowl rings.

He didn't have the mobility of a QB like Montana, but for those of us who see the ideal quarterback as a guy who can simply drop back and complete passes to his receivers no matter what kind of defense he's facing (his methodical shredding of the Chicago Bears' vaunted defense in that 1985 game -- Chicago's only loss in their stellar 15-1 season -- was a real eye-opener), he was the perfect specimen.
