It is so very hard to compare one era to the next.
Championships and longevity always seem to be the arguing chips in these comparisons.
Back in the 60's and 70's, the NFL was more of a run-based league. Back then
Sonny Jurgensen had the best arm-strength of any QB, but won no championships
on a mediocre Redskins team. John Unitas had a great arm but little success. Both
played for around 17 years in the day when a QB might take a beating weekly. Bart Starr
was not too shabby, either but still in a run-based league.
So to me, barstool comparisons are almost invalid.

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
