Quarterback winning percentage


I've heard this is an overrated statistic. I'm not sure.


Does anyone know where to find career winning percentages for QB's?


Thanks

Aikman earned MVP honors in Super Bowl XXVII, and won 90 games in the 1990s, the most by any quarterback in any decade.


Terry Bradshaw was the first quarterback to win four Super Bowl titles, a feat he accomplished with the Pittsburgh Steelers between 1975 and 1980. He won the NFL MVP award in 1978 and also collected two Super Bowl MVP awards, and was a considerable dual-threat quarterback, recording 32 touchdowns on the ground in his career.


John Elway led the Denver Broncos to consecutive championships in 1998 and 1999, winning the Super Bowl MVP award in his last professional game. Elway remains the only five-time Super Bowl starter, and he holds records for the most wins and the best winning percentage by any quarterback


Joe Montana won four Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers during the 1980s, and became most famous for his incredible poise and leadership in pressure-packed situations. He also holds many NFL postseason records, and is the only three-time Super Bowl MVP


"...One misguided view of quarterbacks is that they can "win" football games in a similar way pitchers can dominate a game in baseball. Tremendous emphasis is placed on a quarterback's win-loss record even though the quarterback position relies heavily on the play of teammates around them. This is true of pitchers of baseball as well, but not to the same degree. Baseball pitchers with the ability to strike out opponents with devastating fastballs or with specialty pitches (like the knuckleball) can control a baseball game in a unique way.


Football quarterbacks, however, require five offensive linemen to protect them as they drop back, read the play of the defensive players, and deliver a pass to an area of the football field where they expect the receiver to be. This requires the line to block effectively, despite all manner of maneuvering on the part of the opposing defense, the receiver to run the route precisely, and the quarterback to deliver the ball perfectly in order for the play to result in positive yardage. If any one of those elements break down, the play could result in an incomplete pass or a turnover, such as an interception or fumble. When football first became a professional sport in America, very few football teams passed the ball because of all the variables that needed to fall into place for the pass to work. Today, certain professional teams pass more than they run, such as the Indianapolis Colts..."

Favre is third behind Marino and Elway with 139 wins. Off the top of my head, that looks like around a 60% career winning percentage. Not bad.

Dont quote me on this, cause im not sure where i got it from, but I think overall, all coaches, all teams, ,blah blah blah, John Elway is the all time winningest QB. OR was until Tom Brady, whom i think holds the record now.  If you look at the coach -QB thing, you can kind of see what im talking about.
