NFL talk: Who was the best Super Bowl quarterback of all time?

Created on: January 20, 2007   Last Updated: October 31, 2008

This is a Top 10 list of the greatest "Super Bowl quarterbacks" of all time.

1. Joe Montana- Many argue against crowing Joe as te greatest quarterback of all time, but it's hard to argue against him being the greatest Super Bowl quarterback of all time. He led the 49ers to 4 Super Bowl victories and was named Super Bowl MVP 3 times.

2. Terry Bradshaw- This Steeler led his franchise to 4 Super Bowl victories in 6 years and was named Most Valuable Player in 2 of those. Terry played the game recklessly, but his powerful arm and swagger, along with the Steel Curtain D, always came out on top.

3. Tom Brady- This is one guy who could certainly finish at the top of this list being that he is only 29 years old and has won the big one 3 times with the Patriots, already.

4. Bart Starr- A 17th round draft pick that was named MVP of the first 2 Super Bowls in which he led the Green Bay Packers to victory.

5. Jon Elway- Most thought Jon would end his career without tasting sweet Super Bowl success, but number 7 was able to ride off into the sunset on top, by winning Super Bowls in his final 2 seasons, and named MVP in his final game.

6. Troy Aikman- One component of the best trio of all time, along with Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin. Troy's Cowboys won 3 Super Bowls and Troy secured 1 MVP.

7. Joe Namath- Hollywood Joe was the first to guarantee victory as his heavily under dogged Jets defeated the Colts in Super Bowl III.

8. Doug Williams- The Redskins of 1988 were led by the first African-American quarterback to win a Super Bowl and Doug did this after many forgettable seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

9. Len Dawson- This Purdue gunslinger took over as his Chiefs upset the heavily favored Vikings in Super Bowl IV.

10. Steve Young- Forever cursed to live in the shadow of the great Joe Montana, Steve proved his own value to the Bay area and was named MVP of his only Super Bowl appearance in 1995.
