Other than Brady, which franchise QB’s have multiple rings?

Manning had 2 (only one with Indianapolis), Rodgers has 1, Brees has 1, Rivers has 0, etc.

How many teams like the Ravens (2), Steelers (2), Giants (2), Buccaneers, Eagles, etc. have done it with other pieces and a quarterback who just didn’t lose the game?

Maybe this changes the perspective.

It makes things easier. You need a lot more pieces in place if you don't have one. A franchise QB gives you a window to play in for awhile. I think those guys would have more if not for the Patriots. Ultimately it is the Patriots defense and Bb keeping those guys from winning SB's, not Tom Brady.
