I remember fondly the 1989 season.  We were off our Super Bowl high and were picked to not only return but to win it all.  We came up short, but damn if we didn't have the coolest-named QBs in the league:

 

Norman "Boomer" Esiason

Eric "The Kaiser" Wilhelm

Turk Schonert

 

It lasted only one season, as that was The Kaiser's first and Turk's last, but it was fun while it lasted.
