sweepea436 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Doug Williams getting no love I see. His trip/bend/hyperextend fumble no-call in the SB, is a classic IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Rypien....his great season ended with a SB trophy. He was a one hit wonder though:paranoid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgensen4Prez Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by jimster that 1967 year Sonny threw 31 TD's and record was 5-6-3? Absolutely, remember Sonny was playing for teams with absolutely no talent, and putting up those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatFischer37 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Theismann in '83 was awesome...too bad he got caught with Cathy Lee the night before the SB or his would be the obvious #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkatt Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Sammy Baugh 1937 as a rookie the Skins win the NFL championship or maybe 1943, Baugh was the only player (and will be the only player ever) to lead the league in passing, interceptions and punting. Best player ever to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief skin Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Rypien had the year of his life, nothing went wrong I think he was sacked 3 times all year long. I was never a Rip fan I remeber the days when nothing went right for the guy. Then the playoff in Sanfrancisco when he choked (Matt Millen the SF MLB at the time said Rip looked scared) he deserved a season like that he earned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 kurt warner reminds me of rypien.... anyways, in my lifetime i would go w/ rip just cuz it was fun talkin smack to all my junior high buddies back then, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuckin.Behind. Bound Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Holly crap!!! No Doug Williams???? Hes got to be at least in your top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECU-ALUM Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Rypien...he seemed to come out of nowhere considering how he struggled the year before....and he only finished a few votes behind Therman "dude, where's my helmet?" Thomas for league MVP...and was unanimous vote to start in the Pro-Bowl. He just seemd to make a big play when it was needed (SB26 hitting Gary Clark that pretty much sealed the deal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJCrash34 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'd have to go with Rypien too, I was too young when Theisman and Schroeder played, and I liked Rypien better than Johnson, Rypien did bring the lombardi trophy home for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 You young-uns have no idea how amazing Sonny J.s stats were in 1967. Remember, this was in the old days, when you ran a lot and passed as a last resort. That year, the No. 1 receiver in the NFL in number of catches was Charley Taylor - Redskin No. 2 was Bobby Mitchell - Redskin No. 4 was Jerry Smith - Redskin That feat has never been duplicated. Sonny's performance in 1967 might have been the best year any quarterback ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLusby Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I am not shocked that B. Johnson has the best statistics because all he ever did was dump the ball. Rypien had a fantastic season along with a great SB victory; however, SJ accomplishing what he did in 14 games and with poor coaching gets my vote. Sonny was an icon when I was growing up in D.C. and everyone wanted to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey T Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Posted by HapHaszard: Sonny forever, I never saw Sammy play but Sonny never had a team behind him to speak of. (I still have my Sonny secret decoder ring from Topps on Fairfax Circle.) Hey Hap, did you cruise Topps drive in back in those days? Me too.:laugh: They had some cute car-hops. Our bunch used to cruise the Hot Shoppe at Seven Corners too. We made the rounds back then. Even the Topps on Glebe Road. D@mn I'm grinning real hard:rotflmao: For you guys that don't know what a car-hop is, they are the little gals that bring the food out to your car. Back to the subject. When the 'Skins traded Norm Snead to the Eagles for Jurgy, I was the happiest kid in the city. We had NOTHING until Jurgy hit town. He gave us credibility and a chance to win every game, even though we had no D at all. Predicto has summed up Jurgys 1967 season really well.

Why do you think Sonny is so loved around the city, even after ALL THESE YEARS. :40oz: I'm not forgetting my namesake. Joey played with a lot of guts. He was d@mn smart and very talented, but he had a LOT more talent around him in 1983 than Jurgy had in 1967:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sonny was almost always hung-over. If memory serves, almost every game was a thriller. (as evidenced by the number of tie games) "He's the best I've seen" - Vince Lombardi on Sonny Jurgensen.
