re: 1991 Washington Redskins is the best pro football team of all-time

Joe Gibbs, Rypien, Ricky Ervins, Byner, Gerald Riggs, the Posse, the Hogs, Charles Mann, Darrell Green, etc.

What makes that redskins team special is how many stars off the top of your head can you name? I'm not sure that team had any super stars

The 80s Redskins (and the 91 team is the vestigal tail of that dynasty) might be the most underrated team in sports history. Three Super Bowls and they are treated as an afterthought.

Joe Jacoby, arguably the best player on the team and the anchor of what is potentially the greatest offensive line in league history, STILL isn't in the Hall of Fame. Art Monk had to wait over a decade despite owning many of the records Jerry Rice would later break.

Their recent slide into irrelevance colors how we view that team's historic greatness.
