I'm gonna guess drugs.

From reports it may be a suicide.

Oof. She went to the same HS as my first serious GF. Not quite the same graduation year, though.

Just about to post this.

Bart Starr, 85

The Tom Brady of his era.

Or is it the other way around?

The Tom Brady of his era.

Or is it the other way around?

Starr won 5 NFL Championships (roughly the equivalent of a modern conference title) and 2 Super Bowls, as well as 1 MVP.

Brady has 9 AFC Championships and 6 Super Bowls, as well as 3 MVPs.

Starr was certainly great, but I would put him in the ranks with Joe Montana or Terry Bradshaw...one of the greatest, but not the greatest. What Brady is doing is otherworldly.

Less teams, so talent not watered down.
Also, QBs back then could be bodyslammed onto a bed of nails and a flag MIGHT have been thrown. You basically had to prison rape them to draw a flag.

Not taking anything away from Brady, but Starr's accomplishments are right up there in the discussion as GOAT.

Do you really believe that Starr played against more talented teams? Although if you want to go down that route (you don't) Starr probably had more hall of famers on his team than any of the great QBs.

I don't think he is GOAT, but he can't be dismissed so easily. That was my point.

Those Michigan players that won 6 banners in the first nine years must have been fantastic, because the talent was sure not watered down.

I called him one of the greatest. Nobody was dismissing him.
