Re: Dead Thread 2019-???: Yep, They're Still Dead.
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.
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.
