Baugh not only revolutionized the passing game, but was hands down the greatest football player to ever play. He's the only one EVER to lead the NFL in Passing, INTs (on defense), and punting....in the same year. He was dominant in his era, bringing 2 Championships in '37 & '42 to DC. The Skins were playing in Championship games on a regular basis while he was here.

- 70.33 single season completion percentage, # 2 all time
- 6 NFL passing titles
- 1st team, all-NFL seven times
- NFL record career punting average 45.1
- Charter member of NFL Hall of Fame

Unfortunatley, never saw him play.

Jurgensen would be the only other dominant QB over a length of time. Theismann was dominant in 82-83 and Rypien in 91, but neither over an extended period. Had Theismann not had his career ended by LT, we would likely have been the team of the '80s rather than the 49ers.
