https://www.docsports.com/current/super-bowl-winning-quarterbacks.html

Bowl quarterback of all time, Tom Brady, now
retired, won 4 of his 7 all-time highest Super
Bowl wins in the past 10 years.

Retired QB Peyton Manning won his 2nd of
2 Super Bowls 8 years ago.

13 years ago, Aaron Rodgers won his only
Super Bowl.

Only 3 of the other Super Bowl winning QBs in
the last 10 years are still active, with 1 Super
Bowl win each: Russell Wilson, Nick Foles (a
QB in the right place at the right time, only 3
regular season starts in 2017 yet led the Eag-
les to a Super Bowl win in a one-time Super
Bowl MVP performance), & Matthew Stafford

4. 9 QBs have 2 Super Bowl wins each:
Bart Starr, Bob Griese, Roger Staubach,
Jim Plunkett, John Elway, Ben Roethlisberger,
Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Patrick Mahomes
All-Time Winningest Super Bowl QBs
who were/are brothers:
The Mannings, Eli Manning with 2, Peyton Manning with 2

Their dad, Archie Manning, started in
139 games over 15 seasons, but never
came close to a Super Bowl, struggled
on losing teams; he must have married
well (to Olivia Williams Manning) & ...

.... apparently translated his NFL futility
into being one helluva parent & teacher
to father/mentor 2 great NFL QBs, Peyton
& Eli.

Archie's & Olivia's other son, Cooper Man-
ning, had great potential as a football wide
receiver, but unfortunately, in the summer
before his freshman college year, he was
diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a narrow-
ing of the spine & pinching of the nerves,
which ended his playing career.
