Here are six things you didn't know about some famous Super Bowl QBs:
| 1. | John Elway lost his first three Super Bowl appearances before winning his last two in 1998 and 1999. Elway is the only quarterback in history to start in five Super Bowls. |
| 2. | Prior to the 1966 season and Super Bowl I, Bart Starr had already led the Packers to 3 league championships. As such, he is the only quarterback to win 5 NFL championships. |
| 3. | As of the induction class of 2010, Plunkett is the only retired quarterback with multiple Super Bowl starts who has not been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brady and Roethlisberger are still active. |
| 4. | Steve Young, Jim McMahon and Earl Morrall have each won multiple Super Bowls, though not all as starters. McMahon (XX) and Young (XXIX) each won a Super Bowl as a starter, while Morrall took over for an injured Johnny Unitas during Super Bowl V and led the Baltimore Colts to a win over the Dallas Cowboys. |
| 5. | Phil Simms has also won two Super Bowls but watched one from the sideline. In Super Bowl XXI Simms had the game of his life. Then in Super Bowl XXV he was sat out due to a broken foot suffered in week fourteen against the Giants eventual Super Bowl opponent the Buffalo Bills. |
| 6. | Before winning two Super Bowls with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders, Jim Plunkett sat out for a year in 1978 after having been released by the San Francisco 49ers in 1977. The Niners received Plunkett in a trade with New England in 1976, but a massive and disastrous team makeover by GM Joe Thomas, brought in by a young Eddie Debartolo, Jr. when he acquired the team, swept Plunkett out the door. |
