I dunno, thats who comes to mind for me, I seem to remember him catching fire with another team as a backup and winning one

He did...I looked it up once after he made some disparaging comments about the Falcons on Colin Cowherd's show.

I was surprised he made it...

Kurt did lead two different teams to Super Bowls but he was the starter after that and he didn't compile the gaudy record of the answer to this question.

Hint cause I gotta go to lunch - This QB backed up two HOF players, which is why he never won a starting job.

he didn't catch fire, but he did win a Super Bowl with the Ravens.

Right. This guy is only a household name in that he is probably the greatest backup QB of all time. Whatever that is worth.

Gonna go out on a limb with a player from the days of old: Earl Morral (not sure I'm spelling that right)?

[Stewie]

I'll take a way back guess as well...Craig Morton?

Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner.

Earl Morrall won the NFL MVP and still couldn't win the starting job......because he was backing up for Johnny Unitas.

In 72, Morrall took over for an injured Griese and won 9 straight games...then two more playoff games......then got benched in the Super Bowl.

Guy couldn't catch a break.

Good job.

[Tandy]

Well, the only other person I can think of is Moral - but I don't know his ending record.

That was one hell of a trivia question right there.
