If making a shite-ton of money without getting banged is considered successful than Matt Flynn all day.
Bert Jones had a good run in the '70s.
And then there's this guy

David Woodley had a respectable though relatively brief NFL career.

Ro got 2 rings

It’s not a long list

Without successful being defined, I'd put Matt Flynn in there.

Under no definition of success should Matt Flynn thrown in there... I mean I love the guy but he did not have a successful NFL career. The only two that came to my mind were Jones and Tittle. That is it.

under NO definition?
I mean, he got paid millions of dollars without doing long term harm to his body.
He's not making anybody's hall of fame or even "best backup Packers' QBs" lists but he probably thinks his career was pretty damn successful

Bert Jones and Y.A. Tittle are the only two that I can think of.

Matt Flynn got a butt load of cash and a beauty queen wife is set for life. Pretty successful.

Flynn does hold the single game franchise record with the Packers for total passing yards and passing touchdowns...
So you might want to rethink that...

If you see where they were drafted and looking at expectations coming out if college; I would say both Woodley and Flynn did well.
Jones did great. JR was a colossal failure. Tommy Hodson underachieved. RO didn’t perform well, Mett did better than I thought but fell off and Etling did as expected.

That is a shame. History, in all its forms, represents knowledge. You can't speak intelligently on any subject without understanding its history.

In 1990, Bert Jones participated in the first NFL Quarterback Challenge. He finished first in the retiree category and third in the regular competition (The regular competition taking the top three finishers from the alumni competition and adding them to the regular field of current quarterbacks). Given his strong performance, Bobby Beathard, then the general manager of the Chargers, wanted Jones to come out of retirement, but Jones was 38 at the time and chose not to try a comeback.
The widely respected scout Ernie Accorsi is quoted as saying that if Bert Jones had played under different circumstances, he probably would have been the greatest player ever. John Riggins has been quoted as saying Jones was the toughest competitor he has ever witnessed. On the eve of Super Bowl XLII, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, in discussing his choices for the greatest quarterbacks of all time, described Jones as the best "pure passer" he had ever seen

M.C. (Mack) Reynolds (the Mansfield Rifle in the mid and late 50s) had a decent 5 year career in the NFL and the old AFL.
