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.
