What backup quarterback has the most super bowl rings?

Answer 1

For a QB that was truly a backup (second string), that would be Earl Morrall who was second string for the 1970 Baltimore Colts that won Super Bowl V and the 1972 and 1973 Miami Dolphins who won Super Bowls VII and VIII. Morrall started 11 games (9 regular season, 2 playoff) in the 1972 season when Bob Griese went down with leg and ankle injuries but went back to second string when Griese was declared the starter for the Super Bowl. Morrall also took over for John Unitas in Super Bowl V when Unitas went down with a rib injury. Many QBs have won two rings as a backup. Steve Young of the San Francisco 49ers won rings in Super Bowls XXIII and XXIV as a backup and Super Bowl XXIX as a starter. Zeke Bratkowski of the Green Bay Packers won rings in Super Bowls I and II. Joe Gilliam and Terry Hanratty of the Pittsburgh Steelers won rings as backups in Super Bowls IX and X. Cliff Stoudt and Mike Kruczek won rings as backups for the Steelers in Super Bowls XIII and XIV. Jason Garrett of the Dallas Cowboys won rings as a backup in Super Bowls XXVIII and XXX. Gary Kubiak of the Denver Broncos won rings as a backup in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII. Rohan Davey of the New England Patriots won rings as a backup in Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX.
