Bob Griese of the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins lost Super Bowl VI and Griese had 134 passing yards. The Dolphins won Super Bowl VII with Griese passing for 88 yards and Super Bowl VIII when Griese had 73 passing yards. It should be noted that Griese threw only 11 passes (completing 8) in Super Bowl VII and only 7 passes (completing 6) in Super Bowl VIII. The Dolphins rushed for 184 yards in SB VII and 196 yards in SB VIII.
It really depends on what you mean by "shutdown." If you mean did Deion Sanders ever shut Rice out completely then no. The worst that Rice ever did against Sanders was on 9-19-93 when Rice only caught three passes for thirty-three yards. Of course later that same season Rice caught 6 passes for over a hundred yards against Sanders and the Falcons. The best Rice ever did against Sanders was in 1990 (Sanders Sophomore year) when on September 23 Rice caught 8 passes for 171 yards and 1 TD and then three games later when the 49ers again faced the Falcons Rice caught 13 passes for 225 yards and 5 TDs. After Sanders went from being Rice's teammate in 94 to being a Cowboy Rice and Sanders only showed off twice, and it was a split. In 95 Rice caught 5 passes for 161 yards and 1 TD but in 96 Rice caught 4 passes for 49 yards and 0 TD. Ultimately Rice had more 100+ yard games (6) against Sanders than he had games of 50 yards or fewer (4).

Michael Vick ran a documented 4.25 which also ranks well on the top of the fastest football players of all time, period. On top of that.......Vick owns several NFL records, including the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season (1,039 in 2006), highest average per carry in a single season (8.45 in 2006), 100-yard career rushing games by a quarterback (eight), best two-game rushing total (225 in 2004) and rushing yards in a single game (173 in 2002). His 1,039 rushing yards and 8.4 average yards per carry in 2006 marked NFL records for a quarterback in a single season. Became the first quarterback in NFL history to tally more than four career 100-yard rushing games as he has now collared eight such contests in his career. Vick and teammate RB Warrick Dunn (1,140) became the first quarterback/running back duo to each surpass 1,000 rushing yards in a single season, and one of only five teammates to accomplish the feat in NFL history.Vick's 2,474 passing yards in 2006 moved his career totals to 11,505 yards, which ranks fourth all-time in Falcons history.Enters the 2007 season ranked third among quarterbacks for rushing yards (3,859) in NFL history. He is also a 3 time pro bowler.
Jack Mildren was the first college quarterback to rush more than 1,000 yards in a season. During his freshman season in 1971, Mildren rushed 1,140 yards.

That quarterback would suck. he would definitely be 2nd or 3rd string. most likely 3rd and NFL.COM probably doesnt even know. If you were talking in terms of starters there was no starting quarterback who started more than 4 games without throwing a touchdown.

In the NFL, pass yardage is computed differently for team stats and for individual stats.For individual stats, the yardage is computed by determining where the play ends in relation to the line of scrimmage when the play began. If a forward pass is completed and the receiver is tackled downfield 15 yards from the line of scrimmage where the play began, the quarterback is credited with 15 passing yards. If a forward pass is completed and the receiver is tackled 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage where the play began, the quarterback is credited with -3 passing yards.For team stats, the above also applies. However, yardage lost to sacks is subtracted from a team's passing yardage total where it is not subtracted from a quarterback's passing yardage total. If, in a game, a quarterback throws for 250 yards and is sacked 2 times for 15 yards lost, the QB's passing yardage total will be 250 and the team's passing yardage total will be 235.
