Here's a quick look at Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks dating back three decades. Joe Montana leads all QBs with three, Tom Brady and Terry Bradshaw have two each.

The four-time Super Bowl winner won his second Super Bowl MVP award in a 31-19 victory over the Rams. Bradshaw threw for two TDs, both for 40+ yards including a 73-yard TD pass to John Stallworth in the fourth quarter to help the Steelers pull away.

The first Bay Area Super Bowl MVP quarterback threw for three TD passes against the Eagles - two in the first half and one in the second - in leading the Raiders as the first Wild Card team to win a Lombardi trophy.

The most decorated Super Bowl MVP quarterback won his first award after rushing and throwing for a TD, guiding the 49ers to their first Lomabrdi trophy in a 26-21 win over the Bengals.

Montana threw for three TD passes and ran for another, winning San Francisco's second Lombardi trophy with a 38-16 blowout of the Dolphins.

Sims threw for 3 TD passes, winning the Giants their first Super Bowl with a 39-20 victory over the Broncos.

Williams more than likely holds the title of most explosive Super Bowl MVP, spearheading a 35-point second quarter for the Redskins with four touchdown passes in a 42-10 dredging of the Broncos.

Montana's third Super Bowl MVP award was his most dominant, as he spearheaded the 49ers fourth Vince Lombardi trophy with four TD passes in San Francisco's 55-10 stampede of the Broncos.

Rypien capped his highest rated year as quarterback with a two TD, 292-yard performance becoming the third different Redskins quarterback to win a Super Bowl after defeating the Bills 37-24.

Aikman led the Cowboys to a 52-17 blowout of the Bills with four touchdown passes, three of which came in the first half.

Young led San Francisco to its first post-Montana Super Bowl with six touchdown passes in a dominating 49-26 drubbing of the Chargers.

Elway led the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl victories in his final season, rushing for a TD and throwing for another - an 80-yard bomb to Rod Smith - in a 34-19 win.

Warner led "the greatest show on turf" to its only Super Bowl victory, throwing for 414 yards and two TD passes in edging the Titans 23-16.

Brady won the first Super Bowl MVP award to be subject to fan voting, after throwing for just 145 yards and one touchdown, edging the Rams 20-17.

Brady's second Super Bowl MVP award was doubly impressive, throwing for 354 yards and three TDs, earning his second Super Bowl trophy by topping the Panthers 32-29.

Manning threw for just one touchdown and 247 yards in a 29-17 victory over the Bears.

Manning orchestrated the Giants' Super Bowl-winning drive in the final two minutes of his first Super Bowl victory over the Patriots, a 17-14 nailbiter.

Brees had one of the cleaniest games in Super Bowl history, winning New Orleans its first Lombardi trophy with a 31-17 victory over the Colts. Brees completed 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards and two TDs.

Rodgers threw for 3 TDs and 304 yards in a 31-25 victory over the Steelers. Rodgers threw a TD pass to Greg Jennings in the fourth quarter that gave Green Bay a two-possession lead.

Manning led another Super Bowl-winning drive over the Patriots, defeating their top AFC rival 21-17 for his second Lombardi trophy.

Will Colin Kaepernick become the third 49ers quarterback to win a Super Bowl MVP award or will Joe Flacco silence critics and claim elite status by stealing the show? Or will someone outside the quarterback ranks earn MVP honors this year?
