Those were the days. I loved the NFL in the 60s.

Y. A. Tittle looked older than he was due to being bald and he probably played a season or two past his prime. One of the greats.

Even the wild ones like Max McGhee, Joe Namath, and Paul Hornung were not disrespectful.

The best QB I ever saw was Bart Starr but that was partly because he played in the days where the QB literally ran the team on the field including calling the plays.

The 50s and 60s were great decades for NFL football. I was a rabid NYG fan. Gifford, Webster, Connerly, Robustelli, Katcavage, Rosey Brown, Rosey Grier, Sam Huff, Kyle Rote, Dick Modzelewski, Bob Schelker, Dick Lynch, Jimmy Patton, Pat Summerall, et. al.

Johnny Unitas was the best of the old time QBs. Called his own plays.

Early years at Anapolis.

Later, the 'Flying Quarterback' with the Dallas Cowboys...
