Montana + Aikman + Bradshaw + Brady = 14-1 in Super Bowls

[Dodger]

How about Tarkenton, Kelly and Staubach.....
1-11 and I think all are in the Hall of Fame, so what?

Staubach has a 2-2 SB record.

14-1...that is amazing. And that number could very easily have been 15-0.

I came across this information from a column called "Ask Vic".
He also adds this:

"Take a look at their postseason stats. They all played the equivalent of a full season of football in the postseason and in each case their combined postseason stats represent one of the best if not the best season of their careers. In other words, against the best competition the NFL had to offer and at the most pressure-packed time of their football lives, they played the best football of their lives. "

I actually find myself defending Manning at times, but Vic makes a very interesting point. Certain QBs (and their very powerful teams--which he failed to mention) are almost unbeatable in Super Bowls and even, to a lesser degree, the playoffs.

At the risk of sounding like I'm actually defending Manning, Peyton has never had quite the caliber of defense behind him as those guys listed above had...

Agreed. Peyton will be a shoe-in HOFer.

Staubach was 2-2 so how are they a combined 1-11?

Apparently his math skills are on par with his reading skills.

So I was off by one on Roger. (I put the Baltimore loss on him and didn't credit the Miami win).

The point is that these QBs I mentioned were some among the greatest, yet they were average or below average in the big game. It doesn't diminish their accomplishments in the NFL

Too much credit is given to the QB, for wins and losses, when its a total team effort. Aikman, Montana and the rest didn't win those SB all by themselves, just like Roger and Kelly didn't lose them all by themselves.

Gotta put in Bart Starr he was 2-0 in Superbowls, Packers were the team of the 60s. 16-1.

This thread is a case study in reading (in)comprehension 101...

Staubach was 2-2 so how are they a combined 1-11?

You see...

wha ha happend wuz....

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Good Lord...tell me about it! :bang2:

If any one of these guys would actually read the original post they would realize (a) these are not my claims or work and (2) this addresses players who had entire playoff careers that added up to a full NFL season..yet their numbers were still beyond elite for that period time...plus they all won at least 3 SBs.

Good grief folks, read the post before going nuts.

So you have no point then. Thats nice.

sorry guys i had no idea this was a useless knowledge. Thread

What about Jim Plunkett? 2-0 with the Raiders

Staubach played in four SBs and had a QB rating of at least 100 in three of them. Your argument is invalid.

 

[Royal Laegotti]

What about Jim Plunkett? 2-0 with the Raiders

I though of him and Roethlisberger but since their teams weren't teams of any decade I didn't put them in this group. But 2-0 in superbowls in nothing to sneeze at.

Loos like the guy was going with QBs that had won 3 or more SBs and also had played top notch their entire playoff careers.
