Uso-show-john-elway-defenselink-mil
John Elway started five Super Bowls, winning two.
Jim Kelly 2010
Jim Kelly started four Super Bowls without winning any, a record. He's one of seven quarterbacks who have started at least four Super Bowls.

Super Bowl wins are often used to determine the greatness of a quarterback. Of the eligible players, only Jim Plunkett has won multiple Super Bowls and not been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are the only starting quarterbacks to have won Super Bowls for two NFL teams, while Craig Morton and Kurt Warner are the only other quarterbacks to have started for a second team. Jim McMahon won a second Super Bowl ring having been a backup on the Brett Favre-led Green Bay Packers team that won Super Bowl XXXI.
