Brunner was named the starter for 1983; Simms asked for a trade, but none came. Simms' bad luck continued when he dislocated his right thumb in relief of Brunner in Week 6. 6 Hostetler's 1990 Giants won the Super Bowl.  Coach Bill Parcells quit in March; new coach Ray Handley named Hostetler the starter for 1991 during training camp.
