I believe that no QB has won a super bowl on 2 different teams!

You spelled his name wrong.

I was at the titans/steelers game. Spelling it wrong is more acceptable than calling him 'Rossenburger' as the guy sitting next to me did throughout the game.

Yeah, but there's some bench scrub QB somewhere who's been on two Super Bowl winning rosters. That's what he'll claim.

The only one that comes to mind is McMahon. He won the '85 Super Bowl with the [spitmultipletimes] Bears, then in 1996 he won another Super Bowl backing up #4 in Green Bay. While I'm very happy that I got to experience a Super Bowl win with my team, it still irks me that he was part of the team.

Well, let me be the first to blow this all to hell.😛
Earl Morrall was on two Super Bowl winning rosters. He beat the Cowboys in Superbowl 5 after replacing a hurt Johnny Unitas.
He was also on the best damn team in the NFL, the 1972 Dolphins. He replaced Bob Griese in their fifth game of the season, taking them into the AFC Championship game. He was pulled in that game because he was struggling, and the rest is history.
What's that got to do with anything? Steelers are in the playoffs in spite of Worthlessburger, not because of him.
Their defense is why they are winning, and why they won the last time they went. Worthlessburger was terrible in that game.
Not knocking him entirely....he's a good QB, but not great. Just on a great team. Simply winning a Super Bowl doesn't make a QB great. Trent Dilfer won one. Doug Williams won one. Kurt Warner won one.
They all played on teams with great defenses. Not one of them holds a candle to a QB like Dan Marino, who never had a running game OR a defense. If Elway's team hadn't come up with a running game and a great defense his last two years, he'd have never won a SB, and he'd still be one of the greatest of all time. Those two games didn't push him over some invisible "greatness" line.

you dont have to throw the ball 40 times a game and 5000 yards in a season to make yourself a great quarterback. Ben can do something that dan marino never could... the would be move out of the pocket and avoid a sack. Dan had several good recievers, Joe and Steve had Jerry, elway had smith and sharpe and TD... put any of those 3 on this steeler team al you still have a mediocre QB who thrown 9/15 for 180 in every game. Put ben in either of the above offences, and he's a legend. its called being a product of the system.
It doesnt mean hes not a good quarterback.
the 99 rams were not a great defense bud. that team was carried by that superior offense. imo kurt warner is a great qb. as for the other two, yes you can say that their defenses brought them those championships.

Nobody said, and if you'll READ my post, I said Ben is a "good" QB. But not GREAT. He's on a team with the best defense in the NFL. The Steelers haven't been out of the top 10 in defense since 1999, when they were #11. They've been number 1 in D several times in this decade.
Ben simply went to a team that was already great, and he's good enough to manage the game well. Marino didn't need to scramble much, because he got rid of the ball so quickly. Put Marino on today's Steelers and their offense would be scary. Very few would argue with that. Yeah, Marino had some good receivers, but so does Ben. I'd argue that Ben's receivers are better than any group Marino ever had.
Put it like this: Of Ben's draft class, he's the second-best QB. Philip Rivers is by FAR the best. Ben is second, then Eli. Switch Ben and Rivers, and Rivers is going to his second Super Bowl, with better stats. And Ben will have to have endured being coached by Marty and Norv.
Situation DOES make a big difference.

I still have no idea how that Rams defense was 6th, watching most of that season.
Anyway, I think Warner's wife can be a bit loony, but I like Kurt. I hope he gets the W.

When the '96 Packers visited the White House after winning the Super Bowl, McMahon wore his '85 Bears jersey underneath his Packers jersey.
You know why?
Because his '85 Bears team did NOT get to go to the White House after winning SB XX because of the Challenger explosion.
I thought that was super-cool of him to do that.
