Being the “Greatest” means what?
For a career?
Season?
One game?
One play?
Each one has a different circumstance.
For 47 straight games Johnny Unitas threw a touchdown pass, while averaging less than 15 passes per game.
It took 53 years for the record to be broken by Drew Brees and Tom Brady, each of whom threw nearly three times as many passes per game.
And if we are talking the greatest one game QB, give me Johnny U any day or Peyton Manning.
My apologies to Roger Staubach, the greatest one-drive-out-of-time-needing-points-gonna-win-anyway QB.
Could I give you a kiss? :-x
Indeed, it took ages for a mature QB to surpass a young Johnny U. Oh, they’re great, but they’ll never really be Johnny U.
