We have been talking about Brady vs. Mahomes from the moment the Chiefsfinished off the Bills in the AFC championship game, though we know these two gentlemen will not meet on the field while the ball is in play during the Super Bowl Anthony Sherman Men Jersey . Itll be Brady, then Mahomes. Or Mahomes, then Brady. And when its over, theyll meet at midfield and exchange pleasantries, because this is what is expected from the kings of pro football.It is still a competition, though, the way Tiger vs. Phil was so many times when they were in different groups trying to destroy par and one another in a major golf tournament. The quarterbacks do not have to directly oppose each other to be measured against each other.MORE: Which is why we endeavored to rate the greatest quarterback duels of the 55 Super Bowls.We attempted not to do this by simply looking at the names and measuring ones legend against the others, but by examining what that specific players value was in that particular season and how the two stacked up against one other. Of course, each quarterbacks career achievements are going to play a part in how he is viewed, but it would be disingenuous to make that the only qualifier.So here is the list, every Super Bowl quarterback matchup, ranked, with the years noted accounting for the regular season and not the calendar year in which the game was played. Preamble : Montana already had one Super Bowl victory on his resume when Marino entered the league in 1983, and Marinos sophomore season was so statistically outrageous that perhaps only Patrick Mahomes has matched it since. Marino led the Dolphins to a 14-2 record and led the NFL in completions, attempts, yards, pa ser rating and touchdowns; his 48 TDs set a record that stood for 20 years. Marino was first-team All-Pro. Montana was second-team with a season that featured 64 percent completions, 28 touchdowns and a 14-1 record in 15 starts.The Game: The Dolphins dynamic pa sing attack never materialized, with Marino finishing 29-of-50 for 318 yards and two interceptions. Montana outgained him, completing 24-of-35 for 331 yards and three TDs.Final score: 49ers 38, Dolphins 16Hall of Fame: Montana inducted in 2000; Marino Alec Ogletree Jersey inducted in2005 Preamble: Bradshaw was a two-time Super Bowl winner by this time, but this was the first season in which he was the principal agent of the Steelers succe s. He became NFL MVP with a league-leading 28 touchdown pa ses and 7.9 yards per pa s attempt, and he completed 56.3 percent of his attempts, the second-best figure of his career and good enough for seventh in the league. Staubach was near the end of his career but still a Pro Bowl player with a league-leading pa ser rating of 84.9, plus 3,190 yards and 25 touchdowns.The Game: The 13th Super Bowl ever played was considered, for years, the best ever and remains in the conversation. Bradshaw completed only 17 of his 30 pa ses, but four of them were touchdowns. Staubach threw three touchdowns, but the one that wasnt a drop by tight end Jackie Smith that could have tied the score Deebo Samuel Women Jersey at 21-all in the third quarter is the throw most remembered.Final score: Steelers 35, Cowboys 31Hall of Fame: Bradshaw in 1989; Staubach in 1985 Preamble: At the end of a run of three consecutive All-Pro selections, Favre brought the defending champion Packers back to the Super Bowl with a chance for a rare repeat. Only five franchises had done it at least once, and this was Green Bays chance to join the Steelers with two. Favre had thrown for a league-leading 35 touchdowns and accumulated 3,867 pa sing yards. Elway was appearing in his fourth Super Bowl but had dropped the first three. His late-career renai sance was fueled by a power running game featuring Terrell Davis, but he was still able to deliver one of his patented late-game drives and threw for 27 touchdowns and made the Pro Bowl.The Game: The Broncos and Packers engaged in one of the great Super Bowls, with Favre throwing for 256 yards and three touchdowns and the Broncos not gaining the winning score until 1:45 remained. Although Elways contribution statistically was meager 12-of-23, 123 yards he ran for a touchdown and set up another Trumaine Johnson Women Jersey by scrambling on third-and-6 late in the third quarter. Because of how he was hit as he dived forward, Elway spun like the blade of a helicopter before landing on the field for a first down.Final score: Broncos 31, Packers 24.Hall of Fame: Elway in 2004; Favre in 2016 Preamble: Brees had led the league in completions twice, attempts twice and yards twice, and the 2009 season became his second straight leading the league in touchdowns. But in seven prior seasons as a starter, his teams only had made the playoffs twice. This 13-3 season was his chance. Mannings Colts had been Super Bowl champs in the 2007 season, but the subsequent year brought a surprising first-game exit from the playoffs. This was Mannings chance to imprint himself among the all-time great winners. His 4,500 yards and 33 touchdowns earned him All-Pro honors.The Game: After the Colts jumped to a 10-0 first-quarter lead, the Saints managed two second-quarter field goals and then turned around by sneaking in an onside kick to start the second half, which led to Pierre Thomas 16-yard touchdown catch from Brees. The Colts responded with a score, but the Saints clinched the game in the fourth quarter when Tracy Porter picked off a pa s to stop a Colts drive and returned the interception 76 yards for a touchdown. Brees finished 32-of-39 for 288 yards and two touchdowns.Final score: Saints 31, Colts 17.Hall of Fame: Manning nominated in 2021, Brees still active Preamble: As we wrote upon the establishment of the matchup, there has never been a QB duel like this one: the established best in the history of the position with a young superstar who might have the ability to surpa s him. Mahomes victory in his second season as a starter was a rarity, as is getting back a second consecutive time so soon into his career. He would have led the NFL in pa sing yards had he not taken off Week 16 because the Chiefs had locked up the AFC No. 1 seed, and he threw for 38 touchdowns against only six interceptions. Brady started over with a new team in his 21st season and immediately Dez Bryant Jersey carried the Buccaneers where he so often did the Patriots: to the Super Bowl.The game: Sunday, Feb. 7, 6:30 p.m.Final score: TBDHall of Fame: Both still activeMORE: Preamble: Rodgers waitedthrough three seasons as a backup, all but unparalleled in the modern game, before getting his first shot to
