Super Bowl Winning Quarterbacks

Which Quarterback Has Won The Most Super Bowls?

Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady is in a class of his own when it comes to Super Bowl success. He won his first Lombardi Trophy in the 2002 Super Bowl, upsetting the “Greatest Show on Turf” Rams to bring the Patriots their first-ever Super Bowl title and claiming the game’s MVP award. He would add additional titles in 2004 and 2005 before a lengthy hiatus. Ten years later, in 2015, Brady’s Patriots overcame the Seahawks’ legendary “Legion of Boom” defense for his fourth ring, tying Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw for the most all-time. In 2017, Brady led a record 25-point comeback against the Super Bowl betting odds to defeat the Atlanta Falcons and claim his record fifth ring. He padded his lead with a sixth and seventh championship in 2019 and 2021, except his last one came with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, not the New England Patriots to cap off the most Super Bowls in the history of Super Bowl QBs.

How Many Quarterbacks Have Won Multiple Super Bowls?

In the history of Super Bowl quarterbacks, there have been 12 different quarterbacks who have won multiple titles, accounting for almost half of all Super Bowl wins (24). 9 are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame—Starr, Griese, Stabler, Staubach, Bradshaw, Montana, Young, Aikman and Elway while two more (Brady and Peyton Manning) are surefire first-ballot inductees when they finally become eligible.

Eli Manning is far from a guarantee but his two Super Bowl wins against Brady’s mighty Patriots ensure that he has a puncher’s chance. McMahon and Simms are conspicuous outliers, and Aikman and Eli exist around the fringes of true greatness, but winning multiple Super Bowls is a nearly guaranteed way to put yourself on the shortlist of all-time greats at the position. While Hall of Fame inductee and seven-time Pro Bowler Steve Young won a total of three Super Bowl rings, only one of those rings came with Young as the starting quarterback; he won the other two rings as fellow Hall-of-Famer Joe Montana’s backup.

Of the 14 men to win multiple Super Bowls, 9 are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame—Starr, Griese, Stabler, Staubach, Bradshaw, Montana, Young, Aikman and Elway. Two more (Brady and Peyton Manning) are surefire first-ballot inductees when they finally become eligible. Eli Manning is far from a guaranteed induction thanks to a precipitous drop in play in the latter half of his career, but his two Super Bowl wins against Brady’s mighty Patriots ensure that he has a puncher’s chance. McMahon and Simms are conspicuous outliers, and Aikman and Eli exist around the fringes of true greatness, but winning multiple Super Bowls is a nearly guaranteed way to put yourself on the shortlist of all-time greats at the position. While Hall of Fame inductee and seven-time Pro Bowler Steve Young won a total of three Super Bowl rings, only one of those rings came with Young as the starting quarterback; he won the other two rings as fellow Hall-of-Famer Joe Montana’s backup.

Has Any Quarterback Won the Super Bowl with Different Teams?
