Quoted from mof:One angle I like come from -- to consider the best QBs of ALL TIME is to consider:
1. Who won a Super Bowl
*AND*
2. Took another team to a Conference championship (and lost or won) -- (not counting backup QBs here.)
From my notes there are only six men who have done this.
The last man to do it is Peyton Manning. Can you name any of the previous 5 ?
1. ____
2. ____
3. Montana
4. Favre
5. Warner
6. Manning

There has to be an oddball in there, Hostetler? Not sure if he took Raiders to AFC championship

Hey...Brad Johnson?
Quoted from Jaybird815:Hostetler? Not sure if he took Raiders to AFC championship
CLOSE!!!
Bills knocked them out of a divisional game in January 94? in a close one... Then concussed Montana next game. Then on to go back to another losing super bowl appearance.
Quoted from Jaybird815:Trent Dilfer?
No Dilfer only Ravens. Didn't Johnson Win with Bucs and Lost Championship game to Gary Anderson miss...or was that Culpepper?
I know for a fact, some of you fellas remember the NFL from the 70s and 80s.
1. Who from the 70s and 80s won a Super Bowl
*AND*
2. Took another team to a Conference championship (and lost) -- (not counting backup QBs here.)
1. ____
2. ____
Hint 2: Both QBs have been nominated into the HOF, and yet neither has worn a yellow jacket.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Bills I don't know. But I can tell you this! If the Saints can beat Carolina on Sunday, we will have swept all three in our division! Boom, I hope it happens!
I'm really hoping for a Saints loss, that's the only way the Seahawks get the #1 seed in the NFC.

I've done a lot of research on 70s...this is a tuffy.

Joe Theisman took Toronto to a Grey Cup in 1971.
Quoted from Jaybird815:Plunkett
Can you name the championship game he lost with the Patriots from 72-75? They didn't have a winning season those years with Plunkett -- they had no O line to keep him up. He was beaten up when the Niners picked him up...
C'mon for crying out louds.
Quoted from marcus0202:Joe Theisman
NFL only, but that's a great bit of trivia I did not know! Almost -- worthy of an asterisk!

Pittsburgh
Quoted from RWH:Joe namath
never saw playoff action with the Rams -- he was a bust there. Too old. No mobility.
Quoted from guss:George Blanda
I think if we did a quiz on pre-super-bowl era two-team championship QB greats, he'd be in the mix.
Seems like McMahon bounced around and had some success somewhere but not sure he made it to conference championship
Quoted from Erik:Seems like McMahon bounced around and had some success somewhere but not sure he made it to conference championship
He won two superbowls, but one as a backup for GB
Quoted from Deaconblooze:He won two superbowls, but one as a backup for GB
Wow...forgot aboot that one!
Quoted from Erik:McMahon
I didn't know he was backup to Favre in 95-6 -- threw 1 pass in the regular season to earn a ring! haha... That's some good ROI.

He also had the GOAT for a QB.
Most know the Pats have had a history of poor drafting. This isn't something i'm making up. They wouldn't be in the shape they are right now if they drafted better. Go back and look through the last decade of their draft picks. Dpzens of picks and most, duds. Do they even have a legit #1 WR?
Most of the Pats stars weren't drafted by them. With some exceptions. Shit, even the commentators mentioned it last night.
Quoted from Jaybird815:Earl Morral?
Colts and Dolphins
Earl Morral is a slightly reluctant addition to the quiz. Going to bump it up to 7 men.
He started the MOST games in the regular season for both the 68 Colts and the 72 Dolphins.
He DID play the entire season in place of Unitas -- and win Superbowl V in 68 against the Cowboys with that last second kick in the freezing cold.
He did, however, START the championship game for the Dolphins in 72. Griese then took over and won it -- then got to play the superbowl.
WINNER (he was the first then) now I have to add him to the list of the Super-7. haha
Does this get an asterisk or not? Kinda -- because he wasn't the true starter for the Dolphins team -- BUT -- he played more than half of the season for Miami that year, and was demoted in the middle of the championship game. I guess I'll give it to him though.

Quoted from RWH:With the asterik wouldn't Doug Williams qualify? I know he won a SB with Washington and Tampa bay?
Not with Tampa
