He was not a good QB. Yeah he could throw it 80 yards, but he had 0 leadership skills and lacked accuracy. He flamed the rest of his career. But I think that he still holds the single season yardage record from 1986. That's sad. lol. But that was a great trade by BB.

And Mike Shanahan was on the other end of that deal (well him and Al Davis)

The ironic thing is that just a year earlier the Raiders and Redskins had a deal done to send Doug Williams to the Raiders until Joe Gibbs nixed the deal.

And what some veterans on the team have told me, Schroeder may have been the most hated man in the locker room.

Not surprising. I heard that his attitude was so bad during the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, that Gibbs was thinking about deactivating him and bringing up Rypien.

I think he had the misfortune of bad timing following SB champ Joe Theismann and then sharing a spot with beloved Doug Williams
