I do remember that team in a way but not much about Rich Gannon after that season. Crazy stuff there. One hit wonder.
There is no chance Rich Gannon is the worst MVP all time. A ton of RBs have won it.
Over a 4 year period, he made the PB 4 times, 2 time first team all-pro. His MVP year he threw for 4689 yards and 26 tds and rushed for 150 more yards. The stats at the time were very good.
A kicker won the MVP--Mark Moseley in a strike shortened 1982 season.
Emmitt won one in 1993; Shaun Alexander had a hell of a year when he won it but still lol RB.
A real one year wonder is Brian Sipe--a Cleveland Browns QB in 1980 who had an MVP season but never made another PB or AP team. Bert Jones in 1976, a very similar story--he lead the Colts but and lead the league in passing yards and 24 tds and 9 ints which was great for the time but never another AP team, mvp or PB other than 1976.
