Shitpost but hey whatever, it’s officially the offseason.
Trent Dilfer is the stand alone, no doubt about it, worst quarterback to have ever won a Super Bowl. But are there any quarterbacks in history who came close that could have taken that title? Guys who made it to the big game, or were maybe on some loaded contending teams that didn’t seal the deal? A few nominees:
2017 Blake Bortles
If Myles Jack isn’t ruled down, and the Jags and their one hit wonder amazing defense go on to blank the Eagles in the Super Bowl does Blake Bortles become the worst starting quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl? How does his career change from there? Someone is still probably willing to give him a chance to start today if he has the title of Super Bowl champion.
2018 Mitch Turbisky
A quarterback who did just enough while playing with an incredibly elite defense. Obviously would have taken a few extra things to go in his favor to have made this run, but the Bears defense shut down the Rams that year and that defense absolutely could have stifled the Pats offense in the Super Bowl if they got that far.
Other quarterbacks who went to the Super Bowl and lost that could have taken this title had they won: Tony Eason, Stam Humphries, Neil O’Donnell, Rex Grossman, Vince Ferragamo.
What say you, /r/nfl?
