Super Bowl XLVII contains two teams of very different makeups, systems, and means of production, starting with the quarterback position. While recent Super Bowls have seen a "longshot" or "not-likely" quarterbacks at the helm, the duo of Joe Flacco and Colin Kaepernick on the big stage seems unprecedented in this generation of football. With both quarterbacks still in their entry-level rookie contracts we thought we'd take a look back and analyze the financial status of the starting quarterbacks from Super Bowls past.
