5 WORST Quarterbacks To Ever Win A Super Bowl - Sport
During the older era's such as Plunkets and Williams, a 50% completion percentage and a 1 to 1 ration for touchdowns to interceptions was acceptable, db's could kill receivers and qb's were treated like everybody else and got killed in the pocket, not to mention the game was based on a run first strategy and hit big plays with play action so percentage didnt matter. Even in the case of johnson and Dilfer, those defenses were allowed to do so much more, those numbers seem horrible compared to a modern era.
Ken Stabler completed almost 67 percent of his passes in 1976..He definitely wasnt a "dink and dunk" passer like you see in todays game
They managed the game which is important. You realize that troy Aikman's average game passing stats were like 15 of 20 for 190 yards and 2TD with 0 interception. Not even average but he had Emmitt Smith.
Just average stats. Just a very good game manager.
All facts!
@@donaldcummings8407 Stabler played a wide open game in an era where that was not common due to the rules for whacking QBs and receivers. In his prime, he was one of the best ever, especially adjusting for the differences in rules between the 70s and now.
LTs were not valued like they are today as well. Those scary pass rushers of those eras massacred QBs. Now teams will never pass on a Jonathan Ogden type of player
Doug Williams was a star prior to coming to DC. He won Tampa Bay their first playoff game and got them to the conference championship. The only reason that he didn't stay in Tampa was because the owner was cheap. This is a slap in the face to Doug Williams
His success was based on the fact Tampa had a great defense and strong ground game in those years. If you had to put the game in his hands during his years in Tampa, he couldn't win them. Now Washington was a different story but his success was too short there.
Calling BS. They won in 81 and 82...when he played. When he sat out in 1983...there defense and that run game was trash without HIM ...2-14
Preach these guys are hilarious and never made the nerve to call pro trash is hilarious because someone has to lose the game @@PA_MD1
Plunkett was almost out of the league before joining the raiders, but the late great Al Davis was known for taking "misfits" and "unwanted" players if he saw something in them, that's why there were so many guys in their 40s or late 30s on the team like Jerry Rice, say what you want about Plunkett but he gave us 2 of 3 superbowl championships. RIP Al Davis
Lamonica was the best all time Raider QB .
Lamonica holds the best record as a starting qb , 66 wins and only 16 losses .
Better than snake Stabler .
When talking about Baltimore and Dilfer, it wasn't just a great defense that won those games. Jamal Lewis was an absolute beast and they had one of the best place kickers of all time in Matt Stover. There was a string of 5 games that the Ravens won that year solely by Stover kicking field goals.
Yup, Lewis was a 2k rusher. Not to mention he had Shannon sharpe at TE.
Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, Marvin Lewis, Jermaine Lewis. It was the Lewises.
Very similar to when Manning won with the Broncos. Peyton was no longer himself in his prime, but that defense could have won the game outright against either offense. Denvers D scored more than Carolina and Denver did on O. Baltimore was in a similar situations back then. Just impacting the game more than either offense could, on a game by game basis
He made some good throws though. You gotta give him that.
@@richp5321 He did his job. Tony Banks probably had more overall talent, but had poor decision making leading to a lot of turnovers. That's why Dilfer replaced him.
Honestly, if plunket won 2 superbowls AND was an MVP in one of them, idk how you could call him one of the 5 worst.
It’s because the first half of his career was very unsuccessful. But once he was with the raiders and replaced injured qbs he was a beast. He was the first pick of the draft and didn’t live up to the hype earlier. But hey he’s still a 2x champ and a sb mvp so good for him.
Also, his overall stats are misleading because he played for many years on an awful Patriots team with no O line.
Yea he is in the HOF right?
@@corkythehippoman no he is not on the HOF.
@@corkythehippoman No, but he deserves to be in it. Any QB who wins 2 Superbowls deserves to be in the HOF.
His receiving corp really does deserve most of the credit though. Plunkett could throw up a wounded duck and his guys always seemed to be able to grab it. I really enjoyed watching the Raiders during the Plunkett years.
You are way off on Jim Plunkett. His career started in New England where he was the #1 draft choice, but in those days NE would not spend any money on their team and Plunkett spent an inordinate amount of time on his back under rushing defenders. He only had one target- his college friend Randy Vataha. The Raiders picked up Plunkett in a 78 trade with SF and struggled after trading Kenny Stabler, until Pastorini was sidelined with a broken leg and Plunkett was given the ball. They won the SB, the first ever wild card to do so. They came back to win it all again in 83. If Plunkett had been with a good team from the beginning his career stats would have been much different.
"In those days" ?? You mean STILL. They STILL don't spend money on their team. Oh you want a raise? We can trade you to another team that will pay you.
Great post.
Williams and Plunkett were actually good QBs that had ability. They both had very strange careers where their prime was really wasted.
Exactly. Williams played in the hell that was Tampa Bay and then in the USFL.
Putting Plunkett on this list is absurd. Those of us who watched him during his day, and the horrible New England and San Francisco teams he was on, know that while he might not have been great, and certainly a hot and cold player, he was really good at times, and was a smart QB in the big games, as his 8-2 playoff record shows. For those who doubt how good a ball he could throw, watch the 1980 Monday Night Football game he played in Pittsburgh (it's always on CZcams somewhere), and watch the pinpoint TD throws he made that night in the 45-34 pinball game against the aging Steel Curtain. One could make a very strong case by using stats and W-L records that Joe Namath deserves to be on this list more than Plunkett but putting Namath on a worst QB list of Super Bowl winners (even if deserved) would be sacrilege and could even get you arrested in some states.
Or even bringing up that drunken episode where he is asking to kiss the reporter.....Funny how New Yorkers are that way, they love to white wash their image
THANK U!!!
Putting Doug WIlliams on the list is just as a crazy. Williams's career was even more up and down than Plunkett's, but it was known that he had capabilities when he was on. Suffice to say, he had the game of his life when it meant the most. One-game-wonder Timmy Smith helped out with 204 rushing yards.
I never hear any nfl documentary nor a you tuber saying that Plunkett became the first hispanic AND first minority starting quarterback to win a super bowl and he did it twice. All I hear is Doug Williams the first african descent quarterback to win the super bowl. Plunkett and the hispanic community always get the meh treatment here in USA. The first minority nfl head coach to win a super bowl is also hispanic and he did it THRICE and yet he hardly gets mentioned as a coach and especially with his hispanic ethnicity background.
@@Trancymind Hell yea!!! Thank u!! 👍
Jim Plunkett was a great QB.
He started his career with a team that sucked(pats). The guy was a competitor and winner.
And 49ers were awful, too!
Also, won the Heisman, the only one, I think from Stanford and upset favored Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. I know these aren't pro stats, but still, as you said, he was a great quarterback.
@@deirdre108 You and the other guy must be very young - because you both throw the word great around where it doesn't belong. Plunkett was not great - he was nowhere near great.
Yup. Plunkett was the prototype cinderella career story.
@@ngc-fo5te You must be young because you never watched him play.
Brad Johnson was pretty good that year they won the superbowl. He was also named the teams MVP.
Nope. Dexter Jackson was MVP in that SB
@@jackkeenan7730 he said team MVP. Every year each team gives a "team mvp" award.
@@edsoncarrillo7211 that shit be worthless my God 😂😂😂
lol his son is the starter for lsu now tho
Maybe but Dexter Jackson won the SB MVP
Dilfer had no shame in being a game manager from what I have heard, and I think that is a very underrated thing. A guy that had no issue having shit stats and understood that his job was to just not fuck it up. Not everyone can do that
Exactly - I don't think he turned the ball over much
Dilfer got a ring. Period. 😅
After firing Dilfer, the Ravens never got close to another SB with that excellent team.
Dilfer was the QB that the Ravens needed....but, then they threw him into the trash dumpster in back of the building. With Dilfer, the Ravens might have won 2 more SBs.
@@pigdroppings yeah they tried to fix what wasn’t broken
Doesn't change the fact that Dilfer was garbage.
When I was a kid I had Plunkett's football card when he played for NE. You couldn't give it away even though he was a #1 overall pick in the draft. Everyone had pretty much given up on him when Al Davis picked him up. What I remember most was that wobbling wounded duck he would throw down field. He could throw it further than just about anyone I've ever seen but it was almost always a 50-50 proposition as to who would catch it. My brother still calls BS for him not being in the HOF after two Super Bowl wins but as I keep reminding him, sometimes it helps to just hang out with the right bunch of guys. As for Hostetler, the last time I was in Buffalo, and this was 2003 or 04, "Wide Right" were still fighting words in most drinking establishments. Bills fans have told me it would have been better if they had never made it to any of those Super Bowls. Then I tell em I'm a Lions fan and they say oh, sorry.
A lot of Plunkett’s losses and picks came from his early years with New England where he was HORRIBLE and is probably the worst draft bust in Patriots history. He really turned it around w us and actually became a respectable QB
I was a Patriots fan back then and Jim actually was pretty decent until injuries hampered him. The Patriots also had a bad supporting cast around him. They ended up trading him to SF for 4 draft picks.
Plunkett was never horrible. He spent his first few years on a horrible team that would not try to get good players.
@@timmccreery3646 Only when Grogan replaced Plunkett did the Patriots (WAY B4 Brady's existence) have some sort of respectability.
@@williambevins Plunkett was a tough SOB!
He wasn't horrible, the Pats were horrible.
Dick Vermeil during SB XV: “Plunkett’s eating us alive.”
And view the stats from SB XVIII. And the play-by-play. Marcus Allen had 48 yards rushing in the first half. Plunkett had 122 yards passing and a TD in the first half.
Raiders had a 21-0 lead at halftime. Of course they will hand off to Marcus Allen to wear out the clock. And Marcus (along with that O-line) were dominant.
But don’t diss Plunkett. And note: Plunkett was the play caller. Those plays weren’t ordered by Flores. Plunkett was the one calling to hand off to 32.
It’s forgotten that Marcus ran for almost 150 yards in the second half. With a big lead.
I'd put Nick Foles, Joe Flacco, Jim McMahon, and Mark Rypian on this list before Jim Plunkett!
Plunkett won the Heisman, too.
@@christhayil8354 that’s your privilege
Each of them had a good game. “A” good game.
Hell, Jake Delhomme had one of the best games (actually, best half) I’ve ever seen from a SB QB. Crown him
I was at the SB when Phil Simms went nuts. Who mentions him? He was brilliant in that game.
Plunkett has two good games. Compare Plunkett to Brett Favre.
Or this:
QB1: 13/21 for 261, 3TD and 0 INT
QB2: 18/29 for 340, 4 TD and 1 INT
One was Plunkett the other was Doug Williams.
I'm just starting this and I am seeing clips of Jim Plunkett and he was a 2 time sb champion, comeback player of the year, #1 draft pick, and Heisman winner. Jim also balled out in the SB he threw 3 TDs in 1980. Don't diminish his accomplishments. Not someone I'd put on this list. Doug Williams almost took the 79 Tampa Bay Bucs to the SB he was pretty darn good when he was healthy.
You can't say that Doug Williams was a bad QB. He played incredible in that Superbowl when it mattered the most and was the Superbowl MVP.
Doug Williams was a bad QB.
@@sludge8506 bad QB's don't lead 2 different teams to the conference championship games. One of those teams was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He led the Bucs to the NFC Championship game 2 years after going 2-26.
@@Rockhound6165 Thanks for your opinion!
It was the lowly Broncos.
@@aweewa5659 If they had had the Broncos defense from 1977, coupled with Elway, they'd have won several rings in the 80's. Fortunately for Williams, they had a somewhat DIFFERENT brand of defense...5 tds...in ONE QUARTER...to a team with DOUG WILLIAMS as qb...probably the single most disgraceful defensive performance in a big game in NFL history...
In the 70's and early 80's, a 50% completion was the floor for a good QB. It wasn't until the emergence of the West Coast offenses that the 60% became the floor. Passing before Walsh and Coryell was much more vertical with possession receivers needing to quite a bit average more per catch than now.
Yeah, remember the Oilers. Pastoring hands off the Earl on first and 2nd down, then throws deep on 3rd down. Before Bill Walsh, dink and dunk, and throwing to running backs was not done that often
Honestly now 62-64% is the floor for being a good quarterback.
33 QBs threw over 60%
@@MustacheDLuffyholy shit 33? That’s crazy
Trent Dilfer was such a boss that we all didn't even see him win SB 53.
Bro I was thinking the same thing I was like wtf? Super bowl 53? Pretty sure the ravens or giants were in that one
@@thehelpingwrench1845 He transposed it.... it was Super Bowl 35 Giants Vs Ravens.... Super Bowl 53 was Pats v Rams. Just a bad gaffe lol
@@vetwar2x445 i think the joke is that super bowl 53 was so monstrously boring that nobody remembers it
@@oakleygee5616 that too. I turned it off after the 1st quarter.
@@oakleygee5616 It wasn't a joke. Dude just read it wrong.
Trent Dilfer clearly deserves to be on this list, but I feel for him in a way. Imagine doing everything your company asked you to do and they experience the best year in their history, but you still get replaced because everyone thinks you're the worst at your job. Granted, the company's success was largely on the strength of another team, but that's still got to hurt a little.
See my comment concerning his Playoff Game against the Raiders.
He didn't really contribute to their success, they just relied on him to not fk up. They knew he was more of a liability than an asset, & he spent the rest of his career proving them right.
@@chizorama As someone from Maryland who watched the season intently after undergoing surgery, you're talking out of your ass. Billick hated him and that was it. He resented that Tony Banks, his guy, had to be sat after struggling for so long and then Trent went out and won it all. He was cut for GRBAC who came in and was so hated we forced him to retire.
There's no reason he wasnt brought back and given the chance to at least resume his backup role.
damn right, the apparent messiah grbac had one good throw against the broncos then he sucked as bad as boller,lol @@booradley6832
Back when Plunkett and Doug Williams were playing, almost all QBs had lower percentage completions than in modern games. The rules let defensive backs play much more aggressively back then.
Exactly with plays like Jack Tatum and Neil cozy. Definitely very violent active defensive backs.
its sad. the NFL is manufacturing stars with these new rules. it used to be having a superstar QB was a luxury and they were special players. now almost every team has one because of the rules and if they don't they can put anybody in there and they will look like a superstar smh
Congrats, Roman numerals name, for the dumbest statement anyone has heard in years.
@@booradley6832It is pretty bad.
If I were one of those QB's I'd say to myself - who cares, I got my ring and you don't, period...

Back when the Patriots were like the Detroit Lions
Absolutely. See my own response to this ridiculous report.
@@christhayil8354 The Patriots were Great back then. John Hannah, Stanley Morgan, Sam Bam Cunningham. Russ Francis, Steve Grogan.
@@thespy7795 no tf they weren’t they sucked lol they went to like one Super Bowl I think In that era
@@ThatNofbody You dumbdikhed, they finished 1st or 2nd ALMOST every year. They don't HAVE to go to the Super Bowl to be a Great and Competitive Team. Grogan, House Hannah, Stanley Morgan, Sam Bam Cunningham, Russ Francis were some of the Best Players of their era and the Patriots were a Top Team!
Doug Williams had injury problems.afterwards but he lit up the Broncos. He was a very good passer in TB but was constantly hindered by the weak offensive line. The Skins had a great offensive line which gave him the time he needed
That first half of that Super Bowl with Williams was amazing.
The best pass I ever saw was thrown by Jim Plunket. My seat was on the 20 yard line. Cliff Branch was running a fly pattern. Plunket let the ball loose from his 30 yard line. The ball was in the air 50 yards. As he crossed the 20 yard line, without looking back, Branch put his hands out waist high and the ball settled into them. The defensive back running stride for stride never knew Branch had the ball!
Jim Plunkett? Are you out of your minds?
Josh R.; U R so SPOT-ON!!!!! Jim Plunkett (along w/Doug Williams) DOESN'T DESERVE 2 b on this FBS list @ all.

Harping on completion percentage and TD to INT ratios on quarterbacks who primarily played before the ascendency of the West Coast Offense shows a certain degree of historical ignorance. I'll just observe that Terry Bradshaw boasts a career completion percentage of 51.9% and threw exactly 2 more TD passes in his career than he did INTs.
It was a different game then.
Also before the ascendency of the 'protect the QB at any cost' and 'don't bump the receivers' rules.
@@timclaus8313 facts they used to assault wide receivers
@@bagofrats3464 Yeah, when you watch clips of old games from the 70s and 80s especially, WRs were getting bumped and banged all the way down the field, and often hammered just as the ball arrived. Hence the 'defenseless receiver' rules (actually a decent idea for this one).
Nah Foreal ol school teams was running the ball majority of the time outside of like Dan fouts
Nobody Said Bradshaw was elite
Brad Johnson was a solid QB. Went to the playoffs a few times with the Vikes too.
The Ravens dumped Trent Dilfer and lured Elvis Grbac away from the Chiefs with a $30M salary, who then promptly finished out the 2001 season with a QB rating WORSE than Dilfer's the season before. Sadly for the Baltimore Ravens their head coach Brian Billick wouldn't know QB talent even if it bit him in the keister
i’m actually family friends with him and this is so true oml
I bet they wish they kept him 2001
@@rethink62 yeah, I mean think of the talent in regards to receivers they could have put on the field with that $30M, which is almost twice that amount in today's dollars
Yet BIllick was the offensive coordinator on that Vikings team when they went 15 and 1 with Cunningham at QB and Moss and Carter as receivers.
@@waynejohanson1083 he was a rather good OC and performed that job rather well with the Ravens as well. It's when he tried to be GM that his inability to judge talent was laid bare. People need to find their lane, and stay in it 😉
Joe Namath 50.1% passer who threw 27 or more INT's three times in his career, while throwing 50 fewer TD passes than picks. Made the Hall of fame because of his personality.
Bingo! Actually his whole career is a combo of personality and the media, especially sports guys, falling over the guy with man-love.
It was New York. Broadway Joe. Lots of New York athletes have been overcelebrated because it's the media center.
It's a hall of fame, not a hall of statistics. But yes, Namath should have been on this list.
The AFL finally beat the NFL. That's why he's in. If you didn't live during that era, you don't get it.
They have the ring(s) I'm sure they don't care what we think.
Fr bro
You're correct.
Dilfer was well aware of what his job was on that team and he isn't shy about stating it.
Deep down they do
They were still bad.. the numbers are there.. nothing can change that..
I played HS ball for Dilfer’s HS coach. He came and spoke to our team one year during summer camp back in early 00’s. I remember feeling conflicted because here’s an NFL QB… but I was thoroughly unimpressed lol.
Trent Dilfer knew his role. Snap the ball, hand it off, let the defense eat. Best game manager ever.
Plunkett shouldn’t be on this list. Remember, those stats are representative of a much different league 40 years ago. He was solid.
I'd put Nick Foles, Joe Flacco, Jim McMahon, and Mark Rypian on this list before Jim Plunkett!
Agreed
Let’s be honest Trent Dilfer is one through five
Trent Dilfer was screwed when was drafted by the Bucs. He never had a position coach. I don't call a former tight end a quarterback coach. He needed a qualified quarterback coach. He also has one more superbowl ring than Dan Marino.
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer lmao a qb coach stop it he just was not good nfl is not for everyone
@@damonjohnson7044 look at how many quarterbacks go through the NFL. Most of them have position coaches. Rookies especially need position coaches to teach them their proper form and to eliminate any bad habits. Really good quarterbacks that are successful in the NFL have a position coach. That being said how many of your favorite quarterbacks have a super bowl ring. He was brought in to manage the game. He did it. He won a super bowl. You don't have to light up the scoreboard to win It. I can think of a lot of really good quarterbacks that never won a super bowl. Go back and look at the stats for the last 30 years at quarterback and Archie Manning was one of the most statistically sound quarterbacks. He didn't even have a winning season. Course he played for the saints. wasn't entirely his fault he just never had good people around him and they never had defense.
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer Anyone with football knowledge wouldn’t ever mention Dilfer and Marino in the same conversation.
@@Triqkshot true Marino only went to the super bowl once. He lost. That's the point.
Trent Dilfer is the greatest stealth quarterback ever. True, he didn't have much arm and couldn't run very fast but he knew how to throw the short pass and he was a better game manger than Brain Billick. He helped to win seven strait games and a super bowl on nothing more than the short pass and the pure determination to win as a team. If Mr. Billick had checked his bruised ego and held on to Trent the Ravens may have gone back to back super bowl wins. Instead it took seven years and 10 different quarterbacks, plus the firing of Brain Billick, to get the Baltimore Ravens back on track to their second super bowl win.
Thanks bro.
Thank you for being a beacon of truth. Billick was the entire reason that Trent got kicked out, for a significantly worse QB in Grbac. Tony Banks was his guy and he was so upset that his guy wasnt the one to win the super bowl. Trent went on to win 15 straight starts for Seattle(as a backup.) A mentor figure that didn't even demand to be a starter after winning a superbowl. That's the kind of guy you hang onto.
Doug Williams started his career with the brand new TB BUCS. When he got his opportunity at the end of his career with a good team he shined. He was AMAZING in that Superbowl. Also, had he not been injured in the 1979 playoffs THERE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY THAT HE WOULD HAVE LED THE BUCS TO A SUPERBOWL VICTORY.
Wait a minute. Plunkett on this list? How is he on this list when Joe Namath has almost exactly the same career stats!! He is in the hall of fame!!! Either Namath belongs here or Plunkett in the hall.
Namath is only in the hall because of New York bias and the whole guarantee thing...isnt he a below 1:1 td to int ratio?...maybe im wrong
@@BodieB way below like 173 to 220 if memory serves.
Funny comment 😂
Namath's fame isn't what he did on the field stats wise, it's that he made the AFL a legitimate league and competitor. Him winning Superbowl III had a lot to do with the merger.
Namath was a legit elite quarterback for 5 full seasons though. He was universally recognized as one of the top players in the league for that stretch. He suffered injury problems and was never the same after that though.
Bob Greise should be on this list. In 72 when the Dolphins went undefeated, Earl Morral was the QB in some of those games. Greise only completed 7 of 14 passes in the Super Bowl. He won 2 SBs because he had Kiick, Csonka and Morris running the ball.
This list proves that individuals don't win Super Bowls, teams do.
Yes, Bob Griese was average as hell, and Morrell won 3/4 of the games that season.
Earl is considered the greatest backup QB in NFL history!
Just like Eli... eli shouldve been here
@@happybeingmiserable4668 As Earl said during a 1989 interview, "When you get the chance to do the job, you have to do the job. That's all there is to it."

Plunkett is a legit HOFer. He was left for dead after New England misused him out of college, a crap 49er team picked him up with a washed up O.J. Simpson, then Davis picked him out of the scrap heat to hold a clipboard and wear a headset for Dan Pastorini. The Raiders were sucking with Pastorini. He broke his leg. Plunkett went in. Results? He finally had a decent team around him. Two Super Bowl wins, one being the MVP.
He beat out Joe Theismann and Archie Manning to win the Heisman, amidst similar criticism. That's when he played the Rose Bowl against Ohio State as an 18 point underdog, and won. He's been a winner his entire life, especially on the big stage.
Numbers don't mean shit. He had the misfortune of using up years of his career on terrible teams and badly run organizations. When he got his chance, he won the biggest game in the NFL twice.
That great team you mentioned he had around him, hadn't won shit in years until he showed up.
Doug Williams had an incredible SB game. His arm was powerful and beautiful to see in motion.
When he said “a team winning a Super Bowl with a not so great QB” he showed my great uncle Doug Williams. I am offended
Dang bruh that’s jacked up
me too! His numbers would have been better if he'd not played at Tampa.
Real shit luv, I thought I was tripping!! I caught that fuckery also.
Thad; I'm offended also (but 4 different reasons). He was viewed as.a "USFL castoff" yet he was the QB of the Bucs (in its early stages of the franchise) when they lost 2 the LA Rams in the NFC Championship Game from the 1979 NFL season that led 2 SB XIV (14). He EARNED &:DESERVES 2 B A SB Champ.
That’s cool Doug Williams is a beloved figure in Washington sports and he’s been a front office guy on the team for many years
Glad to see people respecting and defending Plunkett. He definitely deserves to be in the HOF.
Yes, Plunkett is HOF level QB.
No he doesn't. And he won't ever be in the HoF
That very point (about HOF) was passionately argued for at all times by John Madden.
He doesnt and he will never get into the hall.
I enjoyed watching him but he isn't a Hall of Famer,no ProBowls,kots of mediocre seasons,Raiders defense,Marcus Allen,Cliff Branch were bigger than Plunkett in SuperBowls but he did his share!
Damn, my Bucs had their hands on a lot of Super Bowl winning QB’s at some point in their careers.
Tony Banks out of Michigan St. was an early St. Louis Rams QB that was traded to Baltimore where Dilfer took over. Jeff Hosteller was to be signed to the 1999 Rams as Trent Green's backup, but after drafting an Ohio St. QB it was deemed more financially feasible to retain Arena QB Kurt Warner for another season.
Way off base with Doug Williams. He was the quarterback of an expansion team and eventually took them to the NFC Championship. He came to DC at end of his career at the behest of Joe Gibbs and saved the day after the Jay Schroeder meltdown. Jim Plunket was an awesome QB as well. You need to keep in mind the league was no where as wide open as it is now, a lot of running and a lot less passing.
Or... they sucked. And they sucked in real time, not just looking backwards. Does anyone even remember Williams in the pantheon of Montana, Elway, Marino, Kelly... I mean...come on dude. It was a fluke game from a fluke player without the skillset to carry a team before or since. Just... random. Sometimes dumb luck strikes the untalented.
I grew up watching Williams he was elite no question there. Not sure what Guitard is talking about.
The degree of difficulty on Doug's throws make that 50% rate impressive. No checkdowns. Just mid range and deep balls. Legendary stuff.
@@julesbadguy5878 ok... so why did he fall apart and fall into obscurity and into the high difficulty section of "football trivia night" at local bars? 'Cause he was 38-44 as a starter and threw 100 TDs in 88 games and nobody wanted him as a QB. He had the greatest fluke game in NFL playoff and in Super Bowl history and reverted to what he was before he got to that game. A nobody. He lost his job to Rypien of all people for God's sake!!! ... He's a one hit wonder that never did anything before and never did anything after. One great game. And nothing else.
@@datguitarplayer1656 You’re forgetting one factor, which was the coaching. You realize Joe Gibbs won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different quarterbacks. Not to mention, we had a beast O-line at the time.
@@julesbadguy5878 elite? At what ?
It's absolutely ridiculous to use completion percentage of different era QBs as some kind of barometer to judge "greatness". A completion percentage in the mid 50 percentile was considered par for the course 35+ years ago (i.e. Plunkett, Doug Williams, etc.). It was a lot harder to complete passes back in the day when receivers actually feared going across the middle and offenses didn't have the "dink and dunk" passing attacks that spawned from the early West Coast versions where you use a shorter passing game like they did run back in the day. Today, anything under 65 percent is considered an "inaccurate" passer.
You get it. Most of these statisticians, sports writers and younger fans have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to comparing QBs who played in completely different eras. I actually crunched the numbers for the entire 1970s decade and the average passer rating back then was just under 67%. And that was a time when QBs could basically get pile drived into the turf after they threw the pass, receivers getting mugged down field before the ball even got near them. Rushing the ball and great defenses won most games back then. A QB putting up any rating above a 75 was a top 10 passer in the league back then
Well said. Look back to the 70's, and who had the consistently best completion percentage? A guy named Ken Anderson, who played for Cincinatti...and what offense did they run? Their offensive coordinator was Bill Walsh....and his system already incorporated lots of short, easy throws...just as Montana would be the standard bearer for completion percentage in the 80's, again employing that Walsh system...Today, the game is dominated by offenses that allow lots of easy throws to pad stats...Back in the old days, most guys didn't have that luxury...
Excellent list.
During the era that those QB's played in defenses were allowed to hit them just like they hit any other player. Coaches used to place a bounty on the QB's head for any player to receive if they managed to knock the QB out of the game. QB's were not allowed to simply go into a baseball slide and be protected from getting clobbered, blows to the head were not only allowed they were encouraged, going for the knees was encouraged also. The modern-day QB is treated like he is a primadonna, and he needs to wear a pair of Daisy-Dukes.
Yea that's what I say to people talk shit about namath all you want but no qb today could survive a season in his era tho the real guy I wish we could have seen in the modern era is Johnny Unitas first qb to break 30,000 and 40,000 passing yards in a career a 3 time NFL Champion and winner of superbowl V
Wasn't Doug Williams the MvP with 4 touchdowns 🤦🏿♂️
Yes
It's about a career... 49.5% completion, 100 TD and 93 INT. That's called garbage
@@tankeater Just like others on here throw around thew word great too often - you, like so many other kids, use the word garbage where it doesn't belong. Doug Williams was not garbage in his era - stop comparing stats 40 years ago to today - which is exactly what you are doing. By your argument basically every QB before 1980 was garbage.
Williams was great, I don’t care what anyone says. He was great with the Bucs but hardly anyone could catch his balls, early on.
@Mr. No Weapon (The Prince Of The Talkbox) What the hell is prolly? Type in English!!!
Doug Williams and Brad Johnson were both awesome in the SB
Plunkett and Williams were good QBs, who started their careers on teams that were in the cellar (Plunkett on the Pats, Williams on the Bucs). Williams carried the Bucs for many years, and did so often with a very tough running style. By the time Plunkett got out of NE, he was physically in bad shape. He had a good year with the 49ers, and then went to the Raiders. And like Williams, in spite of injuries, they had very good years. Stats can be deceptive. Go back and watch the games and you'll see what I mean.
Also, both QBs were superbowl MVPs. That didn't just happen, they earned it.
WIlliams was great QB damaged by the ineptness of the Bucs and in now way should be on this list.
Plunkett was a very good QB but Raider strategy was to throw bombs which are generally low percentage completions.
The problem with this list is that it doesn't consider how good (or not) the QBs were *at the time* they won the SB - it just tallies up their end-career stats. Jim Plunkett was a late bloomer, but he was playing very well by the time he won those SBs. Conversely, Peyton Manning and Johnny Unitas were on their last legs and just barely scraping by when they won SBs at the end of their careers.
Geno Smith is blossoming into another Plunkett.
@@Rockhound6165 geno smith will be selling insurance in another year or two...if you think that smith is anything a jim plunkett, you know nothing about football
@@user-kx3fx4eo9i you obviously know nothing about football because if you did you'd know that for the first 3 years of Plunkett's career he was a tremendous bust, a complete failure as a NFL QB. Then he went to Oakland and revitalized his career. Smith's career is going in a similar direction. But do yourself a favor, look up the term hindsight.
@@Rockhound6165 really? complete bust? the pats won 2 games the year before Jim's arrival, his first year the went to 6 and 8. he made them respectable immediately...you know nothing...you should always do some research before opening your mouth...it saves embarrassment
@@user-kx3fx4eo9i tell you what, guy. EVERY football expert considers Plunkett a bust so I'll take their council over your silly rear end any day. If he wasn't a bust they wouldn't consider his time in Oakland a comeback, genius. Also, I dare you to talk to me this way to my face. But you won't because you don't have the guts.
Hostetler saved our season that year and had a stellar SB !!! He even got knocked unconscious during a game and came back in for the winning drive. He still put up 20 on the AFC best defense with no mistakes
And he did have a nice career with the Raiders
Plus the guy was a mobile QB which was one of the key reasons why the Giants offensive game plan worked.
@allanhee in 1994, he made the pro bowl with Tim brown. Harvey Williams (rb). They had a pretty good offense but they had a porous defense and a lame head coach in art shell.
LGM!
@@garymatthews1280 lgm?
I have like two Raider QB as a Broncos fan, Stabler and Plunket.
I remember Williams. He was a pioneer. Black QBs were a novelty in them days.
If someone is described as “making history” and “winning the MVP of that game” he maybe actually doesn’t deserve to be on the list. Jim Plunkett was really good.
This reporter is a fool. Please review my comment to his jackass video.
I know right. Take him off the list and put Joe Namath on. Namath was a trash quarterback who for some reason everyone talks about like he’s an all time great. He had a 49% career completion percentage, more career interceptions than touchdowns, and only made 1 pro bowl.
@@vincevega1000 LEAVE ME ALONE, I AM GONNA REPORT YOU
@@dragonkingsports Namath was a two-time AFL MVP and he was named First Team All-AFL team. "Only one Pro Bowl" is incredibly misleading. Also, Namath had a 50% completion percentage.
@@wvu05 There is more to playing QB than just completing passes. When the QB steps into the huddle he assumes a position of leadership, or the team loses. Plunkett was a leader. Joe Namath was a leader. The greats, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, were all leaders on and off the field. This video does not understand that and is focused just on passing performance. Some teams are known for a great ground game, which (uh-hmmm) wins football games because it wears out the defense and does not allow the opposing offense time to do anything. Green Bay in the 60's had a great ground game but could also spark an aerial assault that tore up the other team. Great QB's lead the team to do these things. Namath was genius at feeling the pulse of his teammates and the opposing defense.
I feel like you could replace Plunkett with Nick Foles. Aside from the 2017 SB run and that insane 2013 season, Foles has been a fringe starter at best.
He played pretty well in 2018 after Wentz got hurt
@@aioloughlin he couldn't beat minshew or trabisky out
Expand this list to 10 instead of 5, and you could make an argument for Flacco being on it as well.
Foles has Brady’s number, but it is the only one in his rolodex.
@@johns9652 Flacco was a slightly above average quarterback for 4 seasons though. Then he got the contract but the team fell apart (partly due to his contract).
Plunkett always made me think of someone who shot putted the ball. But he was with the right team at the right time. As with the other QBs on the list, it just shows that a good team and especially good defence can make up for an ordinary QB.
This video just proves the point a great team can overcome mediocre QB play. Case in point In the modern era Jared Goff played for the rams in a super bowl and Jimmy G had also played in one for SF
plunkett was good and hosstetler was too. there was a controversy with him and simms

Let's not forget Brad Johnson replaced Trent Dilfer in Tampa - Dilfer was a beneficiary of top defenses for both teams.
Dilfer wasn't with Bucs when they won Super Bowl 37. So he only has the one ring.
I'm a Ravens & Eagles fan I remember when the Ravens started and that game against the Giants was TREMENDOUS with the Ravens scoring more on defense & special teams than the Giants did all together..
Ravens AND EAGLES fan!??? Bro I am a Ravens fan and Eagles fans get on my damn nerves. How the hell do you support both teams? Lol. Ironically, i rarely have issues with cowboys fans
@@underwood517 well the Ravens were not around when I started watching football. And the Baltimore colts were before my time. The Eagles was my pops team and my grandfather's team so I kinda went that way but when the Ravens came into existence I LOVED THE WAY THEY PLAYED...
@freeman4real makes sense, but still.... that's almost like saying you are a fan of the Ravens and Titans... it feels almost impossible to love both😂😂
If you look at just the season where the QB's team won the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning was lousy his last year with a QB rating of 67.9. Obviously he's one of the best ever to play, but that year, not so much. And also, you really have to compare passing stats to the benchmarks of the time. The rules of the game have changed so much over the decades, with most of the changes benefiting the passing game. Defenses today just can't get away with what they did during the 60's and 70's.
Kinda disrespectful to Doug Williams. He did some good work with the upstart Bucs
Bucs were a laughing stock till he showed up. He wasn't great but doesn't belong on this list.

Damn man, imagine leading your team to the Super Bowl and winning them a ring, only to have them call you in the office the next and next like “Come see me in the office before you clock in real quick….” 🥴
Football pre-2005 was a completely different game than it is today. Plunkett won 2 SBs. It was kill the QB. They played killer zone defenses. 4000 yd passing seasons weren't heard of - Namath did it in '67, and then Marino was an anomaly. Today it's the battle of the QBs.
Considering the string of bum QB's the Ravens had after Dilfer. He was the right man for the job that year. And nobody gave Payton guff for filling a game manager role in 2016. His stats from that year were terrible by any standard.
Exactly. I thought the Ravens were making a mistake then. Unless they were going to bring in someone demonstrably better, leave it alone. Dilfer knew what not to do, and sometimes that is just has important.
Eh Peyton having 1 game manager year isn't a huge deal when he previously had 13 or 14 record breakers lol dilfer was the right man that year for Baltimore but he doesn't have nearly the wiggle room to have a sub average year
Peyton makes fun of himself for that season. Watch him hosting the ESPY's and commenting on the fact that the Broncos carried him.
i think Manning gets a pass since he was arguably the greatest QB ever...just saying.
@crkmt They were a defense heavy team that year. We needed an experienced QB to work off a strong running game. Dilfer also had grit, he played a couple of games including the Super Bowl with a broken finger on his throwing hand.
Idk about plunkett being that high, most of his season he wasn’t on a good team and went to a good team and won two super bowls and got mvp
Look at the teams he played on his first years in the league. He was 38-18 with the Raiders.
When Dilfer played in Tampa, his nickname was "Take The Sack!!!" Trent...
It's a team game Dan Marino. It's the most mental position on the field think about what the quarterback has to think about every play. The play the snap count telling other players that don't know the play where to line up. Audibles defense guys that are trying to smash you while looking at all the wide receivers to see who's open by 1 or 2 yards then put the ball on target. Just one play
Tom Brady 1st superbowl win. Was definitely a game manager, 145 yards passing and 1 touchdown, the defense held the greatest show on turf to 17 points.
Brady the ultimate dink and dunk QB. He's the only QB in NFL history to score 13 or fewer points in a SB and still get the win, SB XXXVI and SB LIII, every other QB in SB history 0-25 when scoring 13 or fewer points. Brady 2-0 when scoring 13 or fewer points in a SB.
@@thegoat164 Ok 🤡
If it wasn't for the phantom Tuck Rule that game would not have happened.
Not to mention the great defenses, kickers, special teams, offensive lines, recievers, coaches, pampering penalties, scandalous balls, and referees that carried him to championships that are forgotten about.
Tbf that Rams defense was insane. Brady did what he always does. He was clutch. At the time, QB were not supposed to move the ball that quickly up the field. He had a game winning drive shocking everyone even the commentators
I don't know, I feel a case can be made for Trent Dilfer only, as I think Doug Williams, Brad Johnson, Jim Plunkett, & Jeff Hostetler were pretty good (Williams was hampered by organizational mistrust and salary lowballing, but I think he was maturing as a passer; as other posters have said, Plunkett was dealt a bad hand and beaten down pretty bad by his Patriots experience. I think Johnson might be underrated a bit, and Hostetler was more of an unknown who later proved to be a capable NFL starter).
Dilfer is the only one on the list who was literally average. But Ravens should’ve never gotten rid of him because Grbac was horrible.
They didn't perform good
As an addendum, Plunkett played when the pass game was throw it downfield and see if your receiver can out run the defense to the ball. Not this 3yard slant game of today.
Brad Johnson was on a tear for the Vikings in 05
Notice the guys playing back in the 70s/80s All have low completion percentages. That’s how it was back then, remember in those days DBs we’re allowed to do everything except tackle Wideouts all of the way down the field.
On top of that one of the people on their, Doug Williams played on the early bucs which is an even bigger disadvantage.
With this in mind, the NFL also completely overhauled the pass interference rules and introduced roughing the passer penalties in 1978 to increase scoring after the "dead ball" era of 1970-1977.
@@MRB16th scoring after the dead ball?
@@jrsmith1998 The "dead ball" relates to the average points per game dropping to 17.2 in 1977.
I am a Washington Redskins fan, and really felt Mark Rypien fit into Joe Gibbs system well ( 3 different quarterbacks in 3 SB wins). He studied and practiced for years until his number was called. A brave player who fought through injuries. I recall the season after the Skins 91-92 SB. He nearly pulled out the win in the muddy last playoff game vs 49ers. That being said Mark had a completion ratio of 56.1% career, and a 59% in his SB winning season. I fear he might be worthy of this list.
For that matter I see that Joe Theismanns career percentage is nearly the same as Rypiens at 56.75%.
A Redskins fan and not a Commanders fan. I love that. To me they will always be the Washington Redskins.
It's the perfect argument against anyone that says a great QB MUST win a Super Bowl.
Plunkett found a way to win. And he won a lot of big games. Hostetler was a tough reliable QB for the Raiders--a breath of fresh air after Marc Wilson and Jay Schroeder. Hoss would have had better stats had his tight end, Ricky Dudley, not had bricks for hands and had he had better protection from a Raider line that had trouble with consistency. Hoss was a damn good QB.
How do you put Plunkett and Williams on here but missed Flacco and Rypien?
Notice that 3 of the 5 QB’s played for Tampa Bay at one time in their careers.
Want to know a Funny Stat? Here is the combined super bowl record of every QB to wear a Bucs Uniform.

@@Papawill13 wow, Brady with this year's start will have twice as many SB appearances as the rest of those QBs combined

You forgot Eli Manning! Led the league in interceptions 3x. Career statistics very similar to Joe Flacco. Won two Super Bowls on the back of his defense and two amazing catches. Both games could have easily ended in defeat if it wasn't for the amazing play of others. Has a .500 career record. Will get into to HOF because he played in NY for 16 years and accumulated junk stats.
I agree and I’m a lifetime NYG fan. A slightly above average, competent QB ( you don’t play in the league that long otherwise) but nothing special.
Hoss shouldn't be on this list either, he was expected to be a career backup and exceeded expectations

Bradshaw is INSANELY overrated. He played well in some big games, but another perspective on that is that it shows he DIDN'T do his best the rest of the time. Lynn Swann and John Stallworth DEFINITELY improved Bradshaw's stats with strong effort on their parts.
And contemporaneous QB's with much weaker supporting casts have much better QB ratings (ref: Greg Landry, for a glaring example).

Elite players who didn't do it: Terrell Owens, Megatron, Randy Moss, Cris carter, Isaac bruce, Tory Holt, Larry Fitzgerald and most WR in the hall of fame. Not many receivers can say that. It wasn't just Brady. If that was just the result of having brady at QB, why troy brown, danny amendola, julian edelman, deion branch, Chris Hogan didn't have the statistics that Welker put with the Patriots...
Exactly. From what I saw from the documentary of that Super Bowl win, he was very pragmatic and understood that his job on offense was to just get 1 touchdown and not fuck over the defense. It might sound silly, but not everybody has the ability to be fine with looking like absolute dog shit on the field in the name of winning. Dilfer played his role well and they should have brought him back. I think their head coach at the time was an offensive guy and he couldn’t stand winning games with such a bad offense, so he kinda tried to fix what wasn’t broken
idk who had a worse receiving core in the early 2000s the Ravens or the Eagles smh
Stokley was pretty good for the Colts.
