QBs in the Super Bowl era

HerschelMember

Starr, Favre, and Rodgers, can any other team claim a trio of QBs comparable in the Super Bowl era?

The Niners had Montana, Young and .....I don't think Garcia was quite in that eschelon.

Same for the Cowboys with Staubach, Aikman and .... White.

Same for the Dolphins with Griese, Marino and......

Steelers with Bradshaw, Roethlisberger and.... O'Donnell

The Redskins with Theisman, .....Williams and Rypien

The Packers have been pretty blessed with QBs. Even Lynn Dickey was a solid QB on a craptastic team.

Don't forget about that one "Majik" season...

Well, the only other teams to win Super Bowls with three different quarterbacks are the Giants and Redskins....and I wouldn't quite put Simms/Hostetler/Manning and Theismann/Williams/Rypien on a par with Starr/Favre/Rodgers.

Who else has had a trio of quarterbacks of that caliber in the last 50 years? You could argue the Cowboys (Meredith, Staubach, Aikman), the 49ers (Brodie, Montana, Young) or maybe the Raiders (Lamonica, Stabler, Plunkett). But the list is damn short.

The Minnesota Vikings have filed a formal complaint that your criteria excludes them from consideration.

We have been fortunate with great QB play --- thinking the Bears only had McMahon, maybe Kramer? But 3 HOFers (assuming) at one position in a 45 year stretch is very much awesome.

Also Brunell & Hasselback went through our system too.

49ers have two HOFers

I think Griese was overrated as a QB based on his stats, even during that era.

The Bengals had three very good QBs in Anderson, Esiason, and Palmer. Not even close to out trio.

And the British prog scene of the early '70s had three very good musicians in Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Not good enough.

Well, if you consider losing QBs they have Joe Kapp and Fran Tarkenton.

Don't forget Fran Tarkenton who got the Vikings to the SB in '73, '74, & '76. And Joe Kapp who got them there is '69. But they did not win any SBs.

Opps - didn't see Snoozebutton's post.

Goodell will side with the Vikings and award them the Packers first round draft pick in 2012

It's not as if they'll be able to do much with the 32d pick in the 2012 draft.
