Winning a Super Bowl is one of the most difficult jobs for a quarterback in the NFL, as that’s a barometer for how a position is judged in the league. Just look at the great quarterbacks who have never captured a Super Bowl title (Dan Marino being one) and what their legacy is as an NFL signal-caller.
Thanks to Patrick Mahomes, there are plenty of great quarterbacks who have not captured a Super Bowl title yet. Joe Burrow was close to getting one, same with Jalen Hurts, but fell just shy of besting Mahomes (Burrow actually came back to beat Mahomes once). Hurts actually gets another chance to beat Mahomes in Super Bowl LIX.
Josh Allen has lost to Mahomes in the playoffs, and so has Lamar Jackson. Mahomes has done a lot of ring blocking over the last seven years, as a lot of good quarterbacks have not hoisted a championship.
Who are the best active quarterbacks who haven’t hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy? There used to be a three-year prerequisite for this list, but rookies are now eligible thanks to the outstanding first seasons of Jalen Hurts and C.J. Stroud.
These quarterbacks are the top ones who haven’t won the Super Bowl title — and have the best chance to get off this list based on their regular-season and postseason accomplishments.
Herbert still doesn’t have a playoff victory through five season, despite having two attempts at getting one. He has the most completions (1,945) and passing yards (21,093) after a player’s first five seasons, He also has the lowest interception rate (1.5%) through a player’s first five seasons (minimum 2,000 attempts).
Defense and coaching has failed Herbert in the past, but he also has completed 52% of his passes, thrown for four interceptions, and has a 60.5 passer rating in his two playoff starts. Simply put, Herbert has a ways to go to get off this list.
9. C.J. Stroud
Stroud has only been in the league two seasons,…
