[edit] Trivia
- Before winning two Super Bowls with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders, Jim Plunkett sat out for a year in 1978 after having been released by the San Francisco 49ers in 1977. The Niners received Plunkett in a trade with New England in 1976, but a massive and disastrous team makeover by GM Joe Thomas, brought in by a young Eddie Debartolo, Jr. when he acquired the team, swept Plunkett out the door.
- John Elway lost his first three Super Bowl appearances before winning his last two in 1997 and 1998. Elway is the only quarterback in history to start in five Super Bowls.
- As of 2006, all of the quarterbacks mentioned in the above list have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame with the exception of Plunkett and Brady, the latter still actively playing.
- Steve Young, Jim McMahon and Earl Morrall have each won multiple Super Bowls, though not all as starters. McMahon (XX) and Young (XXIX) each won a Super Bowl as a starter, while Morrall took over as the starter for an injured Johnny Unitas during Super Bowl V and led the Baltimore Colts to a win over the Dallas Cowboys.
