In order to evaluate each quarterback in a consistent, comprehensive manner, only retired quarterbacks are included in these rankings.
Prior to the 1966-1967 NFL season, the "Super Bowl" was known as the "NFL Championship" or "AFL Championship." In order to keep comparisons between quarterbacks consistent, players who won NFL or AFL Championships prior to the Super Bowl coming into existence are credited with "Super Bowl Wins" in this analysis.
