Answer: Joe Montana

Montana's 49ers won it all in 1982, 1985, 1989, and 1990. Simms' Giants made it to the big game twice and won, but a late season injury sidelined him for the 1991 game against Buffalo. Simms set a record for the highest completion percentage by a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl, going 22 of 25 in 1987.

6. This Stanford Alum overcame a lot of hardship in his life and career before finally leading his team to Super Bowl victories in 1981 and 1984.

Answer: Jim Plunkett

Plunkett's father was afflicted with progressive blindness when Jim was a child. This made supporting his family a struggle and Jim had to work a number of odd jobs growing up to help out. At Stanford, he played so poorly in his freshman year that the coach wanted to make him a defensive end. Jim persevered and won a Heisman Trophy.

As a pro after a promising start with the Patriots, injuries and inconsistent play had him bouncing around the NFL until he landed as a back up with Raiders. He came off the bench in relief of an injured Dan Pastorini to lead the Raiders to the playoffs and the first Wild Card to win the Super Bowl in 1981.

8. After much criticism for having quarterbacked three previous losing efforts in the Super Bowl, he finally broke through and won in 1998 and 1999.

Answer: John Elway

Elway's Broncos lost in 1987 and 1989. It took 10 more seasons for Elway and the Broncos to make it back and win. The longest break between appearances for a quarterback starting in the Super Bowl. Jim Kelly's Bills made it to the Super Bowl an astonishing four consecutive years, something no other team has ever done. Unfortunately they lost all four times, making Kelly the quarterback with most Super Bowl appearances without a win.

Answer: Tom Brady

Ironically, Brady lost his starting job at the New England Patriots in 2008 due to a season ending injury.

Kurt Warner was the first quarterback to have thrown for more than 400 yards in a Super Bowl, and his appearances were the top three performances by a quarterback in passing yards in Super Bowl history.
