Not the best but just a little on Tony Eason. He was one of six QB taken in the first round of the 1983 Draft. He was the QB in 1984 where the Pats defeated Jets, Raiders and the Dolphins all on the road, to earn at trip to SBXX and lost to the Bears 46/10. Tony was knocked out of that game in the 2nd quarter.

Billy Kilmer.....Solid career from a first rounder. 16 seasons worth and when it came time to be the most important it was against the undefeated Miami Dolphins. He didn't have a good game with only 104 yards passing a three picks, but they only lost 14 to 7 and that came from a defensive fumble return.

David Woodley Dolphins..with 8 plus left in the 1st quarter of SB 17 against the Redskins, he threw a 76 yard TD. The remainder of the game he went 3 of 13 for 19 yards an int a fumble. Woodley started the first five games the following season and gave way to Dan Marino and was out of the league two years later.

Neil O' Donnell, Steelers...Neil played in the league for thirteen season and played 125 games because he didn't throw interceptions. He never threw double-digits in a single season. Aaron Rodgers has done that twice and Tom Brady nine times. There isn't a retired QB in the history of the NFL with a lower int percentage at 2.1. He will be remembered having the two worst picks in postseason history to Larry Brown of Dallas in SB XXX. Finished with three in this game.

Chris Chandler Falcons.....Lost against Denver 34 to 19 but the game really wasn't that competitive. Chandler struggled until garbage time. Trailing 31 to 6 with Denver putting in the subs Atlanta did get a kick off return for a TD and Chandler threw a late TD. Atlanta and Chandler couldn't move the ball when needed and had four turn overs.

Boomer Esiason...Boomer was 11-of-25 for 144 yards an a interception in SBXXIII. He was also sacked five times. Stunningly, considering they almost won the Lombardi Trophy he struggled the entire post season throwing for 346 yards, one score and three picks in three games.

Johnny Unitus.....Unitus is one of the best regular season QB and his SB performance wasn't that great. Injuries was the big story with Johnny as well as age. He came in late in the lost to the Jets and left early in Baltimore's win over Dallas.

I was as well Noreply, but don't care for pro ball all that much anymore. I use to have the Raiders uniform when I was a kid, pads and all. Cousins and a few neighborhood kids had different teams uni's too. We would play in different backyards every weekend. Those was the fun days. You don't see very many kids doing that today, most stuck in front of the TV playing video games, when they should be out throwing a ball around/playing the game.

You are right about today. When I was young it wasn't nothing to see three games going on at the fairgrounds at the same time. Baseball was the same way and the play grounds would be full of kids playing basketball. Only thing the kids to day have over the old timers is they have faster thumbs.
