Rosenthal actually does a pretty good job IMO in ranking all the QBs who ever played in a SB. Kudos for not weighting SB wins and losses as a major factor, but performance over entire careers.

Even Earl Morrall is pretty darn high on the list. David Woodley not so much - although he is the winningest QB in franchise history.

All-time Super Bowl QB rankings: Patrick Mahomes already cracks top 20

Gregg Rosenthal ranks the 63 starting quarterbacks in the history of the Super Bowl. Where do playoff maestros Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes rank on this list of esteemed passers?

Mahomes being ranked as low as 19 is ridiculous. He has played in one SB and the Chiefs won that SB. He has now led the Chiefs to a second straight SB.
I would rank Brady- Montana- and Bradshaw above Mahomes but that is about the only QB’s I would rate above him in regards to the SB.

I think eventually Mahomes will move up to number 2 behind Brady but I don’t see any QB now or in the future ever being better than Brady in regards to SB quarterbacks.

Idk remember Big Ben had early success too, he won in his 2nd and 5th year. Mahomes has more physical ability but in the past that hasn't lead to long term Super Bowl wins.

Mahomes is ranked about right for now. If he wins next week he shoots up that list. Also Joe Namath has no place on that list. Terrible QB.

Remember, Rosenthal puts a lot of weight on overall career - the rankings are not based upon SB appearances etc but ranking every QB to ever play in a SB. He acknowledges that in ten years who knows Mahomes could be no 1. He just hasn’t played long enough. I also thought he did Griese a solid - the man is the most underrated HOF QB IMO. He was a field general, cerebral, clutch and a winner. And when he had to air it out (see 1977) he was as good as anyone. Kudos to Rosenthal for not holding it against him that he had a great run game from ‘70-‘74.
 
I would argue that Griese should be ahead of Tarkenton, who was 0-3 and struggled in all three of those games. Great player, obviously.

Again it wasn’t about how they played in Suoerbowls. But the entire context of their careers. Tarkington held the passing yards record for ages until Marino broke it.

Okay. That makes more sense. I thought it was on super bowl performance.
