Jacksonville Bulls QB Brian Sipe Player Profile 1985
In 1985, Brian Sipe was traded from the New Jersey Generals to the Jacksonville Bulls due to owner Donald Trump's signing of Doug Flutie. The signing caught national attention, impacting veteran quarterback Brian Sipe. With high salaries burdening quarterbacks, Generals president Jason Seltzer announced the trade. Sipe had hoped to turn around the Generals' previous 12-loss season, succeeding with a 14-5 record and a playoff appearance. Despite the trade, Sipe understood the Generals' goals and accepted the move.
Feeling relieved to leave the limelight, Sipe adapted quickly to the Jacksonville system under coach Lindy Infante. However, in the first game, he suffered a severe shoulder separation. After consulting with top surgeons, it was decided that an artificial ligament replacement was best. Despite doubts from others, Sipe was confident in his return.
At 35, Sipe had been the NFL MVP in 1980 and a Pro Bowl participant. After successful shoulder reconstruction, he suffered a concussion. Despite the challenges, Sipe continued playing due to his competitive nature and love for the game, enjoying the unique experience and camaraderie of professional athletics.
