Apparently, the honer goes to Terry Bradshaw, FOX tool and long time Niner hater!

It's gotta be Broadway Joe. If it wasn't for the guarantee nobody would remember him. Sure he's famous, but he's remembered for the guarantee, not his mediocre on a good day play. Check out his career stats, they are horrible.

Worst QB among super bowl winners seems to imply body of work, and the author is clearly looking at career stats. That's why I think Doug Williams, Ken Stabler, Jim Plunkett, Dilfer, and Namath are all in the hunt. Looking at Smith's career to this point, he's certainly in that neighborhood--but things seem to be changing.
Edit: You can prolly stick Jim McMahon in there too.

I think we should take our opinions out of this. We're not partial no matter your view on Alex. I think amongst the rest of the leagues fans, Alex COULD be considered. I think it would depend on how the rest of the season goes. What kind of play and recognition he gets. Between him and dilfer. Rypian not in it. IMO

Dude! That's beside the point, he is still a Pro-Bowl QB. When he gets introduced anywhere, he can it be as "Super Bowl Winning, Pro-Bowl QB Trent Dilfer". I'm not an Alex hater, by far, in fact I'm probably one of the few that's supported him throughout the years. But he's never sniffed a Pro-Bowl, unless you count Alex asking Trent all about his trip there. That's all YOU need to know.
