Talk:List of Super Bowl starting quarterbacks

Untitled

I find it interesting to compare quarterbacks with multiple Super Bowl wins by their career seasons. Here's an old format that was used on a now defunct page (List of quarterbacks with multiple Super Bowl wins):

===================================================

     ___________     ______________     _________________
     QUARTERBACK     WINS BY SEASON     SUPER BOWL NUMBER 
     ___________     ______________     _________________

4 wins:

    Terry Bradshaw |====WW==WW====)     IX,X,XIII,XIV 
       Joe Montana |==W==W===WW=====)   XVI,XIX,XXIII,XXIV 

3 or more wins:

    Terry Bradshaw |====WW==WW====)     IX,X,XIII,XIV 
       Joe Montana |==W==W===WW=====)   XVI,XIX,XXIII,XXIV 
       Troy Aikman |===WW=W=====)       XXVII,XXVIII,XXX 
         Tom Brady |=W=WW====?          XXXVI,XXXVIII,XXXIX 

2 or more wins:

        Bart Starr |=====##==#WW====)   I,II 
        Bob Griese |=====WW=======)     VII,VIII 
    Terry Bradshaw |====WW==WW====)     IX,X,XIII,XIV 
    Roger Staubach |==W=====W==)        VI,XII 
      Jim Plunkett |=======o=W==W===)   XV,XVIII 
       Joe Montana |==W==W===WW=====)   XVI,XIX,XXIII,XXIV 
       Troy Aikman |===WW=W=====)       XXVII,XXVIII,XXX 
        John Elway |==============WW)   XXXII,XXXIII 
         Tom Brady |=W=WW====?          XXXVI,XXXVIII,XXXIX 
Ben Roethlisberger |=W==W?              XL,XLIII

Including non-starts, here is an incomplete list to add:

      Earl Morrall*                     V,VII,VIII 
       Steve Young                      XXIV,XXIX 

Legend:

       W - Won the Super Bowl 
       = - Active NFL season with no Super Bowl win 
       o - Inactive season 
       # - Won NFL Championship prior to merger 
       * - Won Super Bowl on more than one team 
       ? - Future active seasons

Single Super Bowl starts?

Is there an article that lists quarterbacks with single Super Bowl starts? If not, why not move this list to a new name and include them here? john k (talk) 21:02, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Winning and losing quarterbacks

Why in the world are the quarterbacks in #Winning and losing quarterbacks listed next to their college team and not the one they were playing for when they won the Super Bowl? Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 03:17, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:FANCRUFT? NFL team would be more helpful.—Bagumba (talk) 19:58, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Fix the 2/3rds percentages for consistency

Could someone with editing privileges please make the 2/3rds percentage consistent? 2 of 3, or 4 of 6, should be rounded up to 67 percent... but at least make the 3 entries consistent. So go with 66 or 67, but not both, on all 3.

P.S. Someone changed Brady to 67, which is great, but then some idiot changed him back to 60

Requested move 26 March 2018

List of quarterbacks with multiple Super Bowl starts → List of Super Bowl starting quarterbacks – Recently, another editor proposed this, but someone else reverted. However, the rename seems reasonable as all starting quarterbacks—not just those with multi starts—are already listed at List of quarterbacks with multiple Super Bowl starts#Winning and losing quarterbacks. Moreover, per WP:LISTNAME: The title is not expected to contain a complete description of the list's subject. Many lists are not intended to contain every possible member, but this does not need to be explained in the title itself ... Instead, the detailed criteria for inclusion should be described in the lead, and a reasonably concise title should be chosen for the list. —Bagumba (talk) 11:19, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Pinging involved editors PacchMann and Galatz—Bagumba (talk) 11:20, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

So I moved this back because it would involve an entire rework of the article, since the section that lists all would need to be moved to the top, etc. Such a large change to an article should have consensus. Additionally the original move was done without a redirect which would have broken many links all over wikipedia (obviously this could have been fixed in other ways, just stating).

I am relatively new to editing on Wikipedia, so I am sorry if I caused any trouble by attempting to move this article. I saw the "Be bold" article, and I decided to take your advice. The naming and layout of this page bothers me because the list of the Super Bowls should be the main focus of the article, with the listing of the quarterbacks who've appeared being extra information, just like it is in the list of Super Bowl champions article. I believe this is a reasonable request, and one that I personally hope is realized. I'd be willing to make all of the necessary changes to the article should the consensus be reached.

Looking at other similar topics, such as List of Super Bowl officials, List of Super Bowl head coaches, List of Super Bowl broadcasters, and List of Super Bowl champions, it appears that a move would make it more in line with the others. - Galatz^Talk 13:51, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

• Support, with appropriate wording fixes in the lead and elsewhere on the page. The starters are all listed on the page, so this is a formality of language. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:41, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
