What do you consider the greatest quarterback match-up in a Super Bowl game?
Some HOF QB match-ups that come to mind for me:
Montana - Elway
Montana - Marino
Starr - Dawson
Bradshaw - Staubach
Staubach - Griese
Brady - Mahomes
Brees - P. Manning
Elway - Favre
Rodgers - Roethlisberger
Others?

Bradshaw-Staubach are the only ones to match-up twice besides Aikman-Kelly
Dilfer-Collins had us all excited ... NOT!!
Tarkenton -- Griese
-- Bradshaw
-- Stabler
Brady-Warner ... Brady-Wilson

My first thought in seeing this question was Montana vs. Marino. Not just because of their overall careers but because when they met both had great seasons. I was so excited for that SB. I didn't care who won but was hoping it would be 40-38.

Bradshaw - Staubach because you have two great QBs each going up against two great defenses that year. They both not only played well but put up big numbers and 30+ points each. Both had +100 passer rating against those defenses. Terry had three turnovers and still walked away MVP.

I agree Hickerson66 ... two champions at the top of their game with both going for their third championship. I felt Swann should have been MVP, though Bradshaw shredded my team. Even on a simple screen pass to Stallworth, he weaved right through our secondary. Fans can only wonder how the game would have went if Smith catches the TD pass?
