Rank 'Em: One-Ring Starting Quarterbacks

Created: February 4, 2010, 12:29 PM

Now that Drew Brees has his ring, where does he rank among the greats?

After completing the best season in New Orleans Saints history, Drew Brees has finally won his first Super Bowl.

Brees' lone Super Bowl victory puts him on an eclectic list of starting quarterbacks with one title to their names. From all-time greats like Brett Favre to big personalities like Jim McMahon, 18 men have started and won pro football's biggest game but once in their careers.

Below, we've listed the 18, and now it's up to you to rank them from top to bottom.

You must submit at least FIVE for your rankings to count.
