5 Worst NFL Quarterbacks With Super Bowl Rings
Trent Dilfer, Baltimore Ravens – Winner: Super Bowl XXXV, 1/28/01
Hey Trent, you just got run out of Tampa Bay after quarterbacking some really bad Bucs teams…what are you gonna do now?
“I’m going to Baltimore to win a Super Bowl!”
Trent Dilfer is one of the best at analyzing quarterbacks and breaking down every facet of their game, but for some reason that knowledge never really translated to him playing on Sundays, and he’ll be one of the first to admit that fact.
With what was arguably one of the greatest defenses of all time (if not the greatest), it may not have mattered who was playing quarterback for the 2000 Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens came into the Super Bowl with the fewest points allowed (165) and the fewest rushing yards allowed (970) during the regular season. Their 165 points allowed broke the record set by the 1986 Chicago Bears, who had given up 187 points, and they held opponents to 10 or fewer points in 11 games, including four shutouts.
Dilfer’s job…just don’t turn the ball over. Get a few points on the board. Let the defense do the rest.
If only it had been that simple in Tampa.
For his middling career, Dilfer compiled a 58-55 record as a starter, throwing 113 touchdowns against 129 interceptions, and finishing with a 70.2 QB rating. His lone season in Baltimore he only started five games, taking over mid-season for Tony Banks, who had been benched.
After being part of the Ravens Super Bowl team, he spent the rest of his career playing primarily a backup role, and never went to the playoffs again.
