what you mean you don't consider Heath Shuler and Jeff George as good QBs? :)
Considering I was 8 9 and 10 years old in that timeframe, I'll go with what you say on this subject.
I just seem to remember that Rypien won that one SuperBowl and then didn't hear much about him.
Of course, the next year it was Dallas Dallas Dallas 100% of the time, so there wasn't much room in the media for anyone else unfortunately....
Heath Shuler was the beginning of the end for the Foreskins
Gibbs best coaching year in my opinion was the year after they won the SB (92). Pettibon lost almost all of his defensive starters, they were outclassed every week, and still managed to hold it together. They beat Minn in the POs, then lost to SF by a shirt tail.....Rypien was a tad too slow. Dallas would've killed them in the conference championship game though.
Since then its been misery. With only two trips to the POs, one being last year.
You are correct, Rypien only had the one big season, but what a season it was. He did, however, play well from 88-92.
