From their inception in 1966 to 2007, the Atlanta Falcons did not have back-to-back winning seasons. Even after going 14-2 and making the Super Bowl, the following season they were 5-11, the preceding season they were 7-9.

I recall Dan Pastorini of the Houston Oilers being traded to the Oakland Raiders for Ken Stabler. Were there other starting quarterbacks ever traded for one another?

Thank you in advance.

A Brian Sipe-led team vs. a Bernie Kosar-led team. Bernie's teams got closer to the SB. The '86 team had a little more gleam in my opinion.
