Although this chart is focused on the Super Bowl, it should be noted that prior to the Super Bowl (those grey circles), Bart Starr won three other championships, Johnny Unitas won two others, and Len Dawson won one more.
Is the X-axis sorted by anything after “# if Super Bowl wins”? That is, for all the QBs with 1 win, is there a reason for the ordering?
Might be nice if it was by most recent SB victory.
Nick foles has the same number of super bowls as Aaron Rodgers lol
However you sort it, by numbers or by look, Tom Brady always comes out on top. Even for SB losses.
I am figuring the “B. Griese” is actually Robert “Bob” Griese with two wins and one loss in the Super Bowl and not his son Brian Griese who had one SB ring as a backup to Elway (not sure that counts in your chart). So maybe that would be R. Griese although no one would know who that was. LOL
I didn’t realize Bradshaw had 4 rings in 6 years. That never gets talked about. More impressive than any 6 year stretch of Brady’s career.
It’s crazy how fun Brett Favre used to be to watch, and then to see his career reduced to this. I’d be sad if he hadn’t already made me sadder.
But god DAMN Terry Bradshaw! That guy is suprisingly humble for being one of the absolute best to ever do it.
So the only quarterbacks currently active that have won a super bowl at Mahomes, Wilson, and Rogers (Foles retired in September), and Rogers might be done.
If the Chiefs win and Wilson and Rogers walk away after this season, we will have exactly one active quarterback who has won a Superbowl, something that hasn’t been the case since 1969 (SuperBowl 2).
TB and Elway have tied for the most superbowls lost. Wow.
The vast majority of bowl-winning QBs win one, maybe two, then spend the rest of their career chasing that high but not quite getting back there. Elway and Manning stand out in this regard, ending their careers after a win. Elway is exceptional in that he won back-to-back bowls before dropping the mic.
great work! what software did you use?
Great data except it should only count superbowl wins when the QB started.
This data also pretty conclusively tells you that u less you land a hall of fame quality QB you are wasting your time.

What happened in Mahomes last season?
Why did Elway retire after winning 2 in a row?
