CommonCents Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Just now, Mr. WEO said: "LT" just said that Jackson is throwing the ball "pretty well" lol See Dixon screaming at him after that horrid screen pass? Lamar slapped him on the back of the helmet “I’m a running QB B word” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I decided to post a thread here. Jimbo obviously was a more solid player year in and year out. Mark was more of a one year wonder HOWEVER he did get that Super Bowl ring and MVP. Interestingly enough both these guys had some equal bad luck after retirement. They both lost sons way too early. Jim battled cancer but Mark dealt with depression to the point he wanted to commit suicide. Anyway what do you think? Which player has a bust in Canton? That is your answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Okay admittely the wording on the thread wasn’t the best so I changed the title. Point I was trying to make is would you rather be an average QB your career but experience that championship glory versus a real good HOF one but never get there. I mean at Bills games how many people wear shirts Just One Before I Die. Edited December 23, 2018 by Another Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Replace Mary Rypien with Warren Moon and this is a good question. Edited December 23, 2018 by K-GunJimKelly12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypien = Bledsoe That should help the argument. Rypien also played behind arguably the best OL in the history of football. He was nothing when he wasn't behind that line. Dude had brick feet just like Bledsoe. Anyone that's arguing against you doesn't know football and football history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Kelly was obviously the superior player, but Rypien can shut him up in every discussion by showing him his ring. That's why they play the game, to win a championship. As a fan, would you rather have 1 Super Bowl championship during that era or none? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather have one ring than none, but would you rather be in the big game 4 straight years - or just once? It was a great run as a fan. Personally, I’d rather have gone 4 times (as the QB, as the question us stated), than go once and win.....if you include the extra millions earned and the HOF. THAT is part of the career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It's not as bad a question as everyone is making it out to be if you look at the question as saying "what kind of career would you rather be known for. A superbowl win and an MVP award, or no Superbowl rings but making the HOF" ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan, at the time , I appreciated the long stretch of great seasons. Looking back, I would take one Super Bowl mixed in with some not so great seasons. I was a season ticket holder before , during and after the Super Bowl years and had a blast, but looking back, no matter how exciting that time was, I now look back with an empty feeling. I can't enjoy the memories because of the final game of those seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't enjoy the memories because of the final game of those seasons. I get the emptiness. There was never a year when they wound up on top. Still, I’m leaning toward the sustained achievement. Personal preference I suppose. I’ll take four years IN the game, to one year winning the game, then disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Defense Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Come on, people need to be able to take a joke! The OP is clearly just messing around, trying to get a reaction. No one can be that ignorant, that stupid, to consider this a viable question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
