Go back to the last century...but not too far back. He had bad knees and it seemed like every time he trotted out onto the field, you didn't know if he'd quite make it into the huddle. Yet he was considered incredibly tough, playing through injuries that weren't treated like they are today. He was the winning quarterback in the 1958 NFL Championship game, known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played". (It was the first game in NFL history to go into overtime) And he followed that up by leading the team to the championship the next year. This was the era when the treatment of athletes was to give them salt pills to keep them from sweating too much, and helmets had virtually no padding. He called his own plays...unlike the overwhelming number of today's quaterbacks. He was named the Greatest Quaterback of the 20th century and is still acknowledged as the GOAT because of all this by many football insiders. He was Johnny Unitas of the Baltimore Colts! (Famous true anecdote, at least famous in Baltimore. When Unitas was 60 he was playing golf with a friend. They were talking about the millions being pulled in by today's quarterbacks. Friend asks him, "Johnny, how much do you think you'd make today?" Unitas: "About $100,000" Friend: "Are you crazy? With the way you play?" Unitas: "But you have to remember. I'm 60 years old") Reply #5. Aug 13 24, 2:39 AM |
