If you’ve spent any time watching football, you’ve definitely heard the phrase “defense wins championships.” And while not every team mentioned on our list ended up winning a Super Bowl championship, all of them won in large part because of strong defenses, rather than the guy they had playing quarterback.
If you ever think NFL teams absolutely must have a great quarterback to win a playoff game, the guys on this list will prove otherwise. For every Joe Montana and Tom Brady, there is a Trent Dilfer or Rex Grossman. Without further delay, here’s our list of the 20 worst quarterbacks to start — and win — a playoff game.

Dan Marino was an overrated BUM who couldn’t win a championship. This needs to be understood. Sport is about nothing more than winning vs. losing. Champions win.

It’s disrespectful to put Joe Flacco among these names. Especially compared to those guys. He is 10-5 in the playoffs with 25 TDs and 10 ints. And even before winning the Superbowl in 2012 he played in 2 AFC Championship games and was a drop pass from from going to the 2011 Superbowl. And people want to talk about his regular season. The man only has one losing season(a year he tore is acl) and will finish in top 15 in all time passing yards top 20 in TD passes in NFL history 5 or 6 more seasons.

Must be a Ravens fan. LOL. Look Chumley; I defended him too, but I wouldn’t go all wingnut fruitcake like you did. Who gives a CRAP that he’s thrown for lots of yards when all he seems to do is chuck it up deep – because he’s got a big gun – and someone may get under it — or not… and usually there’s a flag for defensive holding – which gives him the stats anyway.
He won’t be a blip on the radar in history – in the grand scheme of things skippy.

How many times have he beating your quarterback in the playoffs? Then he was a drop away from starting 3-0 against Brady in the playoffs. Outplaying your guy who should be 3-4 or if not worst in Superbowl. Your guy had to be bailed out by a kicker, Malcolm Butler and the Falcons chocking. Also he and his coach are known cheaters.
