9. Worst quarterbacks to win the Super Bowl – Jim Plunkett

The only man on this list to win more than one title, Jim Plunkett sneaks ahead of Simms solely on the basis of winning a second title as a starting quarterback. The first overall pick in the 1971 NFL draft, Plunkett was a flop in New England, underachieving for five seasons before getting traded to the San Francisco 49ers.

The move out west didn’t do a ton for Plunkett, who lasted two years in San Francisco before getting cut. The Raiders signed Plunkett in the 1978 season to serve as their backup quarterback, a role he filled for two seasons until jumping back into the starting lineup in 1980.

Plunkett steadied the ship for a strong Raiders team and put up an MVP performance in Super Bowl XV, completing 13 of 21 passes for 261 yards with three touchdowns. The Raiders saw Plunkett slip back into the backup role by 1983, when he again resurfaced as a starter to help guide the now Los Angeles-based team to another title.

Plunkett is the only quarterback with multiple Super Bowl rings who isn’t enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Considering his mediocre passing statistics and general underachievement after a highly productive college career it is unlikely that will change anytime soon.
