6. Worst quarterbacks to win the Super Bowl – Joe Flacco

Much like McMahon, Joe Flacco was able to win his championship on the back of a tremendous defense. The Baltimore Ravens built a tremendous defensive unit led by future Hall-of-Famers Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, leaving Flacco with a lot less responsibility on his plate.

Flacco consistently got the Ravens into the playoffs but had fallen short in big moments on several occasions, including losses in the AFC Championship Game in both 2008 and 2011. 2012 began with headlines as Flacco declared himself to be the best quarterback in the NFL, a statement that drew laughs when the likes of Brady, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers were dominating.

Baltimore broke through as a team that year, upsetting the Patriots and advancing to Super Bowl XLVII where they knocked off the San Francisco 49ers. Flacco took home MVP honors in the game by going 22 of 33 for 287 yards with three touchdowns to key the victory.

That game would be the peak for Flacco’s career as he slowly declined to the point where he got benched for Lamar Jackson in 2018. Flacco has now entered the phase of his career where he is bouncing around the league as a backup, spending 2020 playing behind Sam Darnold for the 2-14 Jets.
