Top 10 quarterback controversies in NFL history

   It may seem silly now, but replacing the No. 1-overall draft pick/face of the franchise with a little-known backup was once a big deal in New England. 
   Teetering on the brink of a dynasty, the 
  Steelers went into their first 
  Super Bowl season and chose 
  Joe Gilliam over 
  Terry Bradshaw. 
   Looking to light a fire in No. 1 pick 
  Troy Aikman, 
  Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson drafted a second QB -- 
  Steve Walsh -- in the same offseason. 
   After being shamed by 
  Jay Schroeder in the NFC title game, 
  Doug Williams got the last laugh by taking the 
  Redskins to 
   a Super Bowl win a year later. 
   After signing 
  Rob Johnson to a hefty contract, the 
  Bills got fan favorite 
  Doug Flutie for much less. What followed is still a point of contention in Buffalo. 
   Having two 
  Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks on the same roster competing for one job put the 
  Giants in a precarious spot. 
   With 
  Drew Brees already on the roster, the 
  Chargers made a draft-day move for 
  Philip Rivers. Immediately, there was controversy. 
   The Los Angeles 
  Rams of the 1950s were on the cutting edge of offensive innovation, thanks to the play of 
  Norm Van Brocklin and 
  Bob Waterfield. 

Tom Landry's decision to go with Roger Staubach over Craig Morton helped set the course for the Cowboys to become "America's Team."

   Like Van Brocklin and Waterfield before them, the 
  49ers had two future 
  Hall of Famers at QB. Unlike those '50s 
  Rams, the 
  49ers' QBs couldn't coexist.
