[QUOTE="gwh11, post: 467780, member: 4910"] I know I'm pursuing a tangent here, but regarding Ruettgers, I just don't think he was Pro Bowl material during the era you mention. I was a fan then as well, and it was sad that the team had no Pro Bowlers from '86-'88. Who were the LT's elected from the NFC during that time frame? 1986: Jimbo Covert, Brad Benson, Joe Jacoby (this was Ruettgers' 2nd year, and while he perfomed fairly well, I don't think he merited election over those guys. 1987: Gary Zimmerman, Luis Sharpe 1988: Gary Zimmerman, Luis Sharpe Zimmerman & Sharpe also went in '89. They were two of the premier left tackles of that era (Zimmerman is in the HOF now.) I don't see Ruettgers beating those guys out. I think Ruettgers was a very good player for several seasons, and should be elected to the Packers Hall of Fame someday. Perhaps you can point to a season towards the end of his career ('94? '95?) where maybe should've had a Pro Bowl nod over another NFC left tackle, I don't know. But during the era we're talking about, I don't see it. I too thought the corner had been turned after '89. I thought having a superstar like Tim Harris on defense would've been enough on that side of the ball. Oops. [/QUOTE]
