5. Worst quarterbacks to win the Super Bowl – Mark Rypien

It speaks to Gibbs’ ability as a head coach that he won two of his three Super Bowls with quarterbacks on this list. Mark Rypien won the third title, helping Washington claim victory in Super Bowl XXVI.

A sixth-round pick in 1986, Rypien missed his first two years with injuries before taking over as the starter in 1989. Rypien put together a solid start to his career, reaching the Pro Bowl in 1989 and 1991, and he was a second-team All-Pro in 1991 as well.

That year was capped off with Super Bowl MVP honors as well, with Rypien completing 18 of 33 passes for 292 yards with two touchdowns and one interception against the Buffalo Bills. That game would be the peak of Rypien’s career as his performance severely dipped after winning the Super Bowl.

Rypien ended up bouncing around the league after two more injury-plagued years in Washington, serving as the backup quarterback for several teams until 2001. Few would have anticipated Rypien would end up on this list after the strong start to his career but there were few highlights for him after Super Bowl XXVI.
