In 59 Unitas completed 193 passes for 2899 yards. In 2013 Brady completed 380 for 4343 yards. (more games, agreed) In super bowl #1 Bart Starr completed 16 of 24 passes. Yesterday Brady completed 37 of 50. When Unitas and Starr played the interference rule was if you "touched" the receiver in any way while the ball was in the air it was interference. I personally think it is more difficult to complete these passes today than it was then.

And, there is little doubt that the passing game is a bigger part of football than it was in the "golden age".

” When Unitas and Starr played the interference rule was if you “touched” the receiver in any way while the ball was in the air it was interference.”

It seems that you also have never heard of the ‘bump-and-run’ when a defensive back could almost undress the receiver while he was running his route. ;-)
