No Love For Sammy Baugh

I also feel most new era QBs would smoke the old school guys, but that's me. You can't be blamed for playing against the competition that was around, or the technology of the day.

I agree, if anything Baugh and the old geezers from that era are way overrated. Baugh was obviously a talented guy, but back then you only had a handful of truly exceptional athletes. Nowadays you've got rosters full of athletes who train year round and whose only focus is playing football.

A championship team from this era would crush any teams from back then. Imagine the '85 Bears defense going up against some of those old-time teams that had leather helmets? Forget about it.

Plus those old teams played in black and white. B&W sucks, color rules!

Yeah, what year was color invented ? And I agree most of those guys are dead, so yeah their teams would get crushed if they played today.
