The QB's with more:
Brady 14
Manning 14
Brees 13
Favre 11
Unitas 10
Moon 9
Rodgers 9
Tarkenton 9
Van Brocklin 9
Elway 9
Marino 9
Obviously knock on Rivers is no Super Bowl. Never even played in the game. Other HOF QB's without a ring include Marino, Moon, Kelly, Fouts, Tarkenton.
The best QB's without a Super Bowl not in the HOF would maybe Ken Anderson or Testaverde. I'd put Rivers at a significant notch better than those two.

Yeah but the fans also decide and lets face it then it becomes about the most engaged fanbase instead of the most deserving (like Frank Clark as a Pro Bowler this year with...6 sacks and 21 tackles). Also, especially now, the Pro Bowl is an event players like to skip or get "injured", hence how we ended up with Pro Bowler Mitch Trubisky. All Pro is the standard and should be worth significantly more than a Pro Bowl selection. Like I would think more of Rivers chances with zero Pro Bowls and one first team All Pro selection.
