I would like to know which one played in 4 super bowls in 3 years. now, that is impressive..... Years, not seasons. Intentionally stated to differentiate the two. Elway lost Super Bowls XXI, XXII and XXIV in a span of three years and three days. Kelly lost Super Bowls XXV, XXVI, XXVII and XXVIII in a span of three years and three days. Fran Tarkenton lost Super Bowls VIII, IX and XI over a period of four days short of three years. Super Bowl XI was the earliest Super Bowl ever played. The NFL moved the season up a week, so that the Divisional Playoffs would not be held on Christmas Day, like they had been in 1971. Due to the expansion to 28 teams and the desire to avoid holding the playoffs on Christmas Day, the regular season was expanded to 16 games two years later. Brady lost Super Bowls XLII, XLVI and LII in a span of 10 years and one day. 3 years plus 3 days is not 3 years. Mr. facts should know that. |

So, if "above average" is 7 SB wins and 10 appearances in 22 seasons what is average? Lol
SB is pretty special and most QBs never reach one. Hence, for a QB just reaching one is above average.
Since the SB era began only 21 QBs have multiple appearances. That's above average.
Having 4-5 appearances seems VERY special. Some how "lucking" into the right system(s) and showing up in 10, yep 10 appearances, makes me think it's far outside the realm of "above average". Taking a 2nd team to a W at age 43 for SB win #7 in 10 trips seems like pretty good football!
Dripping with sarcasm... TB12 is the best "above average" QB ever! Lol

Lol I guess that I always figured that football was a team sport. I guess that I was wrong. |

Brady lost Super Bowls XLII, XLVI and LII in a span of 10 years and one day. 3 years plus 3 days is not 3 years. Mr. facts should know that. Mr. Facts, huh? Well, since I'm Mr. Facts, three calendar years plus three calendar days and a Leap Day. 1,099 calendar days. But remember that a sidereal day (the time that Earth rotates 360 degrees) is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0905 seconds. Because of how Earth orbits the sun, an apparent day is approximately 24 hours, plus or minus 0.002 seconds (the difference between apparent days and calendar days, especially normally between July and November), but the the Earth actually spins around its axis approximately 366 times in a 365-day calendar year. We basically lose a day a year, because of the interplay between Earth's orbit and how Earth revolves around its axis. Three years plus the Leap Calendar Day in 1988 or 1992 is less than a minute short of 1,099 sidereal days. Over the course of three years, a matter of less than three days is very inconsequential. And that is not to start talking about the differences between anomalistic, calendar and sidereal years and the Procession of the Equinoxes, etc. Or the fact that apparent days have been decreasing in time over the past 45-50 years. Or the Theory of Relativity and its impacts upon time. The way that we normally discuss time is generally grossly oversimplified for a reason. |
