Rypien was a Canadian. Since I love America, I vote for McNair

Ok, I change my vote

 

[Thrasher865]

It would appear BC is trying to lead the voters, by posting stats.

I will stick to blind homerism and vote McNair.

What? I distinctly remember reading an SI article in like 1990 that talked about how he, John Stockton, and Ryne Sandberg were all from the same town, and I'm pretty sure they aren't Canadian.

 

[n_huffhines]

K, found it. Born in Canada and moved to Spokane.

Very misleading seeing Doug Williams was the starting QB for Super Bowl XXII and Jay Schroeder was the second string.

 

[vader]

To be fair, Rypien was on the sideline of Superbowl XXII watching Doug Williams own the Broncos.

Edit: volfanbill on the case

 

[vader]

He is not even listed on their active roster for that year.

Some of my favorite football memories involve steve mcnair and eddie george, sooo mcnair gets my vote.

How did you get out of my closet heart? I thought I had you tied up

 

[Thrasher865]

Shoulda used a square knot, BC.

Thought I chloroformed her as well

 

[Thrasher865]

She's tricky, I suppose. Maybe she has a secret twin, like in The Prestige. Wouldn't that be awesome? Two hearts.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Rypien was not well liked in DC (until he retired due to family circumstances)

How about Mcnair vs Doug Williams? Thats a tough one

 

[YankeeVol]

Doug Williams > McNair

 

[badkarma]

I will take Air all day long, dude played with a fractured sternum...
