The Super Bowl is the biggest event in American sports and many of the game's greatest all-time quarterbacks have been labeled either a legend or a disappointment based on their Super Bowl performances and whether or not their team took home championship rings.
The best quarterbacks in NFL history will always be the ones who rose to the occasion on the biggest stage of their lives. There were plenty of great performances by quarterbacks of the team which wound up on the losing end of the Super Bowl. There were also plenty of average performances by Super Bowl winning quarterbacks who won the biggest game of their lives. No matter how a quarterback's career goes, it all boils down to the way Super Bowl Sunday plays out.
All-time greats Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Tom Brady, Troy Aikman, John Elway, Eli Manning, Bob Griese, Ben Roethlisberger, Roger Staubach and Bart Starr all won multiple Super Bowls. Their status as multi-time Super Bowl champions gives them a leg up in the ongoing debate over who the greatest quarterback of all-time truly is.
Jim Kelly (4) and Fran Tarkenton (3) each felt defeat numerous times in the Super Bowl without ever experiencing the joy of victory. Let the debate rage on in regards to which quarterback had the best performance in Super Bowl history.
In the 49ers 20-16 win over the Cincinnati in Super Bowl XXIII, Joe Montana was brilliant.
The legendary quarterback went 23-of-36 for 357 yards and two touchdowns. More impressively, Montana went 8-of-9 on an 11-play drive which covered 92-yards. He ended it with a 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver John taylor with 34 seconds remaining.

Montana went 22-of-29 for 297 yards and five touchdowns in the 55-10 win.
From stocking shelves in a grocery store to Super Bowl MVP, St. Louis Rams' quarterback Kurt Warner helped turn the downtrodden Rams' into Super Bowl champions.
In the Rams' 23-16 Super Bowl XXXIV win over the Tennessee Titans, Warner went 24-of-45 for 414 yards and two touchdowns.
Joe Montana proved his worth every time he stepped on the field in a Super Bowl, but his performance in Super Bowl XIX against the Miami Dolphins might be his best.
Montana went 24-of-35 for 331 yards with three touchdowns in the 49ers 38-16 win.
In his first Super Bowl (LIV), the third year pro tossed for 286 yards with two touchdowns and two picks. Mahomes dropped the go-ahead touchdown reception to Darrel Williams for five yards with 2:44 left to give Kansas City a lead they would not relinquish.
