The Best NFL Quarterbacks Who Never Won a Super Bowl

Rings aren’t everything. Just don’t tell that to Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer or Nick Foles, mediocre quarterbacks all. But they managed to capture titles as starting signal callers. It’s a feat that eluded some Hall of Fame legends who never won a ring.

So we’re giving some shine to those who accomplished just about everything on the gridiron. That is, except for the ultimate goal. These are the best quarterbacks who never won a Super Bowl.

Vinny Testaverde

Lots of quarterbacks had higher peaks than the No. 1 overall pick of the 1987 draft, but Testaverde gets the nod thanks to sheer longevity.

His 214 starts at quarterback are tied with Eli Manning for seventh all time, meaning he’ll fall to eighth once the 2018 season rolls around

The quarterback helped lead the San Diego Chargers to the AFL championship in 1963, four years before the first Super Bowl. In 1968, he led the league in completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns, a feat he’d repeat in 1971.

He was named to six Pro Bowl squads and one All-Pro team, in 1973.

Bert Jones

The Baltimore Colts signal caller claimed MVP honors in 1976, when he led the NFL with 3,104 passing yards, 9.3 adjusted yards per pass attempt, and 7.78 adjusted net yards per pass attempt, according to Pro Football Reference. The following season, he led the NFL with 224 completions.

But he went 0-3 in his postseason career.

Dave Krieg

Krieg blended longevity and efficiency. He made 175 starts in his 19-year career, making three Pro Bowl teams. The longtime Seattle QB led the league in touchdown percentage three times and completion percentage once.

His 1983 Seahawks made the conference championship, where they lost to eventual the Super Bowl champions, the Raiders.
