Edited to add: I made a mistake. It's nine. I forgot about Rodgers.
And New England did it twice with Brady.

95 Aikman
96 Favre
97 Elway
98 Elway
99 Warner
00 Dilfer
01 Brady
02 Johnson
03 Brady
04 Brady
05 Roethlisberger
06 P. Manning
07 E. Manning
08 Roethlisberger

11 E. Manning
12 Flacco
13 Wilson
14 Brady
15 P. Manning
16 Brady
17 Foles

All of the rest were either rookie deals or third or later contracts.
What does all of this mean? You tell me 🤣
If I got any of this information wrong, please let me know.

One other fact is that none of these QBs have ever been in my kitchen.
In a perfect world, this is how your list would look.
So for example, if @2dueces Bills were to win it this year, it will be something not done since the Giants with Eli Manning in the 2011 season.
If you sit back and think about it, this is interesting to consider as we watch teams scrambling to sign their QBs to these record setting second contracts.
Bumping my own thread since it didn't get much action last time here. Any thoughts on this topic as the season approaches?
Mahomes makes it ten.
10 out of 28 doesn't seem compelling enough to make it a bad idea to ink your QB to that second contract. A lot of those guys on that list that did not win Super Bowls were still in the hunt almost every year. Some even got there and lost.

Good points.
I believe an important part of this is the fact that for the last almost twenty years teams were winning with either rookie contract QBs or guys in a third or more contract. I believe when I started the thread years ago, thinking back, I was trying to start a discussion on whether or not teams should keep recycling through QBs on rookie deals in an effort to win it all. Or should they routinely sign their guy to that second deal? What will Philadelphia do? They just reached the SB. Here in Dallas there was a ton of talk about the fact that they found Dak in the 4th round and it was possible to do it again. Obviously this all hangs in whether a team can win it all with a QB taking up such a piece of their salary cap. The Chiefs just did it.
The eagles have to sign Jalen Hurts whenever his rookie contract is up.
I couldn’t believe his accuracy in the SB. Three or four passes the Chiefs had great coverage on the receiver and Hurts placed it perfectly for receptions. So he performed great on the biggest stage so no way Philly let’s him get away.
never in my wildest dreams did i think Jalen Hurts would be this good in the pros. he is the real freaking deal. his legs are obvious weapons, but he can also make all the throws. i even love his demeanor -- he's not the flashy type. comes across as very humble. he even stopped his head coach from taunting the chiefs during the super bowl (google it). extremely classy kid from what i've observed.
and much to my delight, he will be a thorn in Dallas' side for many years to come. all of these stupid ass Cowboys fans who think Dak is the equivalent of him, if not superior. yeah, keep thinking that. then when 10 more years go by and you still haven't won jack sh*t, then perhaps the disparity in talent will finally sink in.

Things are getting feisty in the NFC East. I like it.
