NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal took a look Thursday at all 60 Super Bowl quarterbacks and ranked them within seven different subcategories. Rosenthal explained his system:
It's important to note that for players like Johnny Unitas and Bart Starr, who started Super Bowls but whose peak years came before the Super Bowl era, I considered their entire careers, not just what they did from 1966 onward. I ranked all quarterbacks based on career achievements, with regular-season excellence, All-Pro/Pro Bowl appearances and seasons as top-five and top-10 players at the position carrying more weight than just Super Bowl success.
