The median cap percentage for a QB to win the Super Bowl is 10%. In the past 10 Super Bowls, 5 of the winning QBs represents less than 10% of the cap (with Nick Foles at 0.96% being the outlier), and 5 were above 10% (all named Brady or Manning).

(Market-leading On the flip side, no QB with a cap percentage over 13.1% had ever won a Super Bowl – until this past season.

The average cap % for the last 5 Super Bowl winning QBs: 7.8%; The average cap % for the last 5 Super Bowl losing QBs: 6.1%; This Super Bowl projects to be the first since 2016 (Brady/Ryan) where at least one of the starting QBs does not sign a contract extension in the following offseason. The highest cap hit for a Super Bowl-winning quarterback since the turn of the century came in 2020 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prevailed with Tom Brady playing under a cap number of $25 million, which amounted to 12.61 percent of their cap. If such is dominated by quarterbacks in the 6-10% range, with very few outliers over 11%, then the alleged "proven model" may actually be the worst for winning the Super Bowl, with highly-paid The oldest team in the NFL has never won a Super Bowl and only been there once.

Taking up 17.19% of the salary cap, Patrick Mahomes has the highest percentage of cap hit for a QB winning the Super Bowl since 2001. The average cap hit percentage for a Super Bowl winning QB since 01: 7.86% One stat that stands above the rest is the percentage of cap space used by QBs and Super Bowl wins.
