Washington: John Elway
Well this one wasn’t very difficult. Elway is somehow underrated by a lot of people today. His stats may not be gaudy like the quarterbacks of the 2010s, but he was as clutch as they came in his era, and dragged a three nothing rosters to Super Bowl appearances in the early part of his career.
Luckily for Elway, he was rewarded with Terrell Davis among other weapons on both sides of the ball for the final years of his career. Denver won consecutive Super Bowls in 1997 and 1998 as Elway went out on top as a two-time Super Bowl champion.
West Virginia: Joe Gilliam
While Terry Bradshaw is remembered as the quarterback who helped lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl wins in the 1970s, he was almost replaced by Joe Gilliam.
Bradshaw wasn’t the best player in the early part of his career, and he turned the ball over a ton. Gilliam had an extremely quick release that Chuck Noll liked, and there was a brief quarterback controversy in Pittsburgh.
Ultimately, Bradshaw was the guy going forward, but Gilliam had his moments. He went 4-1-1 as a starter in 1974, which was the year the Steelers won their first Super Bowl.
