“I consider my era to be the glory days of the NFL, a true Golden Age, and
this book provides a detailed inside look at many of the greatest players of
that time period—of all time, actually. Wayne Stewart gives readers the
opportunity to go behind the scenes and learn so much about the game,
and in many cases, through the words of the greats themselves—men such
as Lenny Moore, Gino Marchetti, and Mike Ditka. It’s a must-read for any
pro football fan.”—Raymond Berry, Hall of Fame receiver, Baltimore Colts

“Remembering the Stars of the NFL Glory Years recalls the 1950s and
1960s, covering everything from the Hall of Famers of the day to the way
the league has changed from that era to now. Fans of superstars such as
Gale Sayers, Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, and many more will enjoy reliving
the Golden Age of football.”—Mike Ditka, Hall of Fame tight end

“Wayne Stewart conducted exclusive interviews with a slew of NFL players

from the Golden Age of the NFL to come up with Remembering the Stars of
the NFL Glory Years. I was glad to contribute some of my memories,
including those of stars such as Dick Butkus, Sam Huff, and Paul Hornung.
As a running back for the New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, and New
York Jets, I played with and against many of the greats featured in this
excellent, nostalgic book that provides some laughs, along with a ton of
facts, stats, and inside stories. It’s a must-read for any football fan.”—
Chuck Mercein, NFL running back and Super Bowl II champion, Green Bay
Packers

“Wayne Stewart has done a fine job of capturing the glory days of the NFL,
back when I played for the Baltimore Colts with stars such as Raymond
Berry and Johnny Unitas. The book is packed with anecdotes and a ton of
inside information gained through exclusive interviews with many of us
players from that era. Anyone who watched the NFL in the 1950s and
1960s will want to read this book!”—Tom Matte, All-Pro running back,
Baltimore Colts

“I really enjoyed talking football with Wayne Stewart. He’s an All-Pro, as

they say; a class act—and so is his book.”—Don Maynard, Hall of Fame
wide receiver, New York Jets

 Introduction

The genesis for this book is my roots in western Pennsylvania. I grew up in

Donora, which is nestled in the Mon Valley area, not far from Pittsburgh.
The town proclaims itself as The Home of Champions, and it has been a
hotbed for a slew of marvelous athletes. Donora natives proudly point to
the incredible fact that such a small town—at its peak the population hit
around fifteen thousand—produced two baseball Hall of Famers in Stan
Musial and Ken Griffey Jr. Coincidentally, the two were born on the same
date.
I happen to have graduated from the same high school class as
another great athlete, a lifetime .296 major league hitter, Ken Griffey Sr.,
who became a member of the famed Big Red Machine Cincinnati Reds.
Further, yet another native of the town, one of four to make it to the NFL,
“Deacon” Dan Towler, led the league in rushing in 1952. He also averaged
6.8 yards per carry that season, which still puts him at number fifteen all-
time in this department, even though he didn’t lead the NFL in that
category—Tobin Rote did (6.9).
At any rate, across the river from my hometown is Monessen, which
produced, according to the pro football reference website, a staggering
fourteen NFL players, despite having a population that peaked at roughly
twenty thousand. Other neighboring towns such as Monongahela
produced almost ten NFL players, including an excellent kicker, Fred Cox,
and Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana. The noteworthy coincidence
involving these two men is that they not only were raised in the same
town, they also grew up on the same block, though years apart.
The list of men who played their high school ball in the Mon Valley
area and then went on to play in an NFL title game, either in or before the
era of Super Bowls, includes not only Cox and Montana, who together
played in eight Super Bowls, but also Towler, Doug Crusan, Myron Pottios,
Sam Havrilak, and Bert Rechichar.
Hard to believe, but almost one-fourth of the twenty-five
quarterbacks from the modern era who are enshrined in the Pro Football
Hall of Fame hail from within a radius of about sixty miles around
Pittsburgh, a veritable football factory. The six men from this cradle of
quarterbacks are John Unitas, Joe Namath, and George Blanda, all three
featured in this book, and Montana, Jim Kelly, and Dan Marino.
Growing up in such an area inspired this book, and so did working on
my previous book, coauthoring Raymond Berry’s autobiography, All the
Moves I Had: A Football Life (Lyons Press, 2016). The western Pennsylvania
thread runs throughout this book, with many other stars, from Mike Ditka
to Joe Walton, featured heavily.
To be honest, though, I suspect that even if I had grown up in an area
that never produced a pro athlete, I still would have turned my living room
into a bunker on Sunday afternoons. I vividly remember the Glory Years as I
sat in front of my parents’ black-and-white Zenith television set (which, I
think, measured about a minuscule thirteen or fifteen inches diagonally). It
may have been difficult for me to make out the numbers of, say, John
Unitas as he launched a pass to favorite target Raymond Berry, but that
didn’t seem to matter—these guys were larger than life regardless of their
Lilliputian appearance on the screen. They were heroic figures in glorious
black and white—as for color, you can’t miss what never existed (and my
family didn’t own a color TV set until the 1970s).
Football through the eyes of a boy was wonderful. So much so that
even now the stars of that era shine with much more luminescence than
today’s.
Finally, it should be noted that this book is the first of two companion
books about the wonderful era of the 1950s and 1960s in the NFL. The
second book will be released in 2018 and will likely be titled Remembering
the Best Coaches of the NFL Glory Years: An Inside Look at the Golden Age
of Football. One part of that book will explore several select great games of
the era and examine the coaches’ roles in those games. It will include
Super Bowl III, the “Heidi” game, the “Ice Bowl” game, and the contest still
referred to as “The Greatest Game Ever Played,” the 1958 title clash
between the Baltimore Colts of John Unitas and company, and the New
York Giants of Frank Gifford and many others. The second part of the book
will look at Hall of Fame coaches such as Paul Brown, Don Shula, Tom
Landry, and Vince Lombardi.
 Chapter 1
The Best Offensive Players
Fans always want to know who the experts consider to be, say, the best
quarterback ever, but Mike Ditka knows how foolish such inquiries are.
“Somebody asked me, ‘Who are the four top quarterbacks?’ And I said,
‘There is no such thing as the best quarterbacks.’ But I think when you
mention guys like Dan Marino and Johnny Unitas, and I go back to Y. A.
Tittle, John Brodie, and a lot of guys in my era, those guys were very, very
good football players.
“Now, were they the best? Was it Sammy Baugh or Sid Luckman? I
don’t know. You have to understand that the game has changed so much
today. The things based on numbers of the passing game—there was no
passing game in those days. You threw the ball, maybe, what, eighteen or
twenty times a game? And you ran. The advent of the forward pass being
really a weapon was with Johnny Unitas more than anybody. Throwing out
numbers doesn’t mean anything, and your contribution to the game is
what counts.”
To many fans, coaches, players, and members of the media, the time
period from the 1950s through the 1960s remains the Glory Years of the
NFL. A slew of all-time greats roamed the league’s gridirons, creating
history along the way.
It’s nearly impossible to determine exactly which NFL players deserve
to be labeled “great,” as opposed to those who were very good or were
borderline great players; and, without compiling a list, which would turn a
readable book into a tome, it’s impossible to cover every single one of the
greats.
With that in mind, there are three ground rules for this chapter: First,
it will cover Hall of Famers only. Secondly, this chapter will focus exclusively
on quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. Finally, it
does not attempt to cover every single player of this golden age who is
enshrined in Canton, Ohio; rather, it’s a sort of NFL Whitman-like sampler
of many of the elite of the era.
By the way, through the 2016 induction ceremonies, there were a
total of 260 players in the Hall of Fame, and more than half of them, 138, a
whopping 53 percent to be exact, come from the Glory Years. Men who
played in that time period are, for the purposes of this book, those who
played at least briefly in the 1950s or 1960s. In the book The NFL’s Top 100,
more of the players selected as the best of all time debuted in the 1960s (a
total of 21) than in any other decade. Plus, an additional 13 of them began
their careers in the 1950s, meaning more than one-third of the top 100
greats came from the golden era.

Start any list of NFL greats from this era with a name such as Johnny
Unitas or Jim Brown, and you can’t go wrong. In fact, in 2002, Sporting
News pulled no punches, calling Brown the greatest football player ever.
His credentials bear that out, especially considering he played almost half
of his career during years with schedules of twelve games and the rest of
his tenure was played in fourteen-game seasons. In addition, he put up his
unparalleled stats in just nine seasons.
Despite those drawbacks, his accomplishments still reverberate, and
some of today’s best runners, unborn when Brown departed from the
game, still agree with the evaluation of Sporting News. His rapid ascension
to stardom was a skyscraper’s express elevator ride to the penthouse. He
led the NFL in rushing and touchdowns as a rookie, led the league in those
departments in his final season, and did the same and much more in many
seasons in between.
Brown’s 12,312 rushing yards still rank number nine all-time; his 106
touchdowns on runs and his average of 5.2 yards per run are number five
all-time; and, get this, he averaged 104.3 yards per game played on runs
for his entire career—nobody else has ever averaged 100+ yards.
With Brown in the backfield, any time, anywhere Cleveland had the
ball, they were in scoring position—no need to use the term “red zone” in
connection to him. Trying to tackle Brown single-handedly was like trying
to bring down a polar bear with a popgun.
Hall of Fame defensive end Gino Marchetti looked back on some of
the toughest opponents he had to tackle. “You know who I really admired
as a back? The first two are no question—Jim Brown and Jim Taylor. Brown
was a hard hitter. He could do everything but block—he didn’t like to. He
couldn’t block a lick. Didn’t want to block a lick. Didn’t have to block a lick.
“He had great balance. He was fast; he could dodge; he could catch
the ball. They just gave him the ball thirty times.
 “Let me tell you, though, when I tackled him, wow. I used to tell the
story at banquets: I played against him in a Pro Bowl and he was coming off
tackle. I was able to get rid of the tackle and there was Jim Brown and
there was me. So here he comes and I kinda grabbed him, sidearm a little
bit, and then I made the tackle. I got up and I felt pretty damned good
about it, you know. There he is, down, and there I am, my first Pro Bowl
and all that bullshit. Then I heard the announcement say, ‘Tackle by
Marchetti. Ball carrier, Jim Brown. Second and one.’ Second and one! He
dragged me for nine yards. I had been happy as hell until I heard the
announcer. And I wasn’t the only guy Brown did that to.”
Sam Huff, a Hall of Fame linebacker, once said this of trying to bring
Brown down: “All you could do is grab hold, hang on, and wait for help.”[1]
Brown carried defenders on his back like a burly camper lugs a backpack,
totally unconcerned about his load.
“I still think he’s the greatest back of all time,” opined former player
and head coach Joe Walton. “He was a powerful guy. I played against him
in college—Pitt played against Syracuse every year—and we played
together in a college All-Star game. The first time I played against him was
when I was on defense for the Redskins. The other defensive guys kept
asking me about Brown. I told them, ‘We hit him hard early in the game,
and we had to concentrate on gang tackling to make sure he knew we’re
coming after him.’ We never had any trouble with him at Pitt—he never
gained a hundred yards against our class.
“So the game starts and we’re getting after him pretty good, taking
our shots against him—and he gained 160 yards, another 50 yards pass
receiving, and scored four touchdowns. He killed us. After the game, the
guys said to me, ‘You dumb rookie.’
“If the Browns ran the ball three downs, Brown carried it twice at
least. And if he wasn’t running the ball, they’d throw to him. He had good
hands. He could do everything.”
Former NFL linebacker Myron Pottios said, “Jimmy had a knack of
running that you, as a defensive ballplayer, had a hard time getting your
arms around him because when he saw you coming, he would bend down
and shove his forearm into you. He was strong enough to keep you away. If
you can’t get your arms around him, you can’t get a hold of anything, and
you just bounce off of him. And, if you went low, he would give you the
thigh, and he was big enough and strong enough to hold you off. Unless
you got the perfect hit on Jimmy, you weren’t going to bring him down
with just one guy tackling. And the biggest thing with him, you had to
follow through to overcome his strength with yours. If he kept you off him,
he would just pull away.”
Marchetti spoke of another clever Brown tactic that “he was known
for after he was tackled. He acted like he was tired, ready to quit.” That
way, if he really did get hurt or tired, opponents wouldn’t know—to them
it was just Brown wearily getting up off the turf once more.
Veteran coach and NFL scout George Belu added, “He had everything
you needed as a great running back: size, speed, athletic ability. He could
give you that limp leg, when you thought he was going to do that or try to
avoid you, he could lower his shoulder and knock the hell out of you. He’d
carry tacklers on his back, too.”
Brown was so durable over his 118-game career that he led the NFL in
total touches seven times while establishing the record for career touches;
and, despite carrying the team on his broad shoulders, he never once
missed a start.
Brown wound up leading the NFL in rushing in every one of his nine
seasons except 1962 when his 962 yards was the fourth-highest total for
rushing yardage. In 1963, Brown set a personal high with his 1,863 yards on
runs. In all, there were five seasons in which he ran for 1,400+ yards and,
again, for almost half of his career he played a twelve-game schedule. One
year he accounted for a total of 2,131 yards gained from scrimmage. In five
of his seasons he led the NFL in touchdowns on runs, and in almost half of
his seasons, four, he was the NFL MVP according to at least one major poll.
At the age of twenty-eight, Brown was in his eighth and next-to-last
season, and he was still in his prime. He led the league once again in a
handful of major offensive categories. He scampered and pounded his way
for 1,446 yards, an impressive total, but he was still capable of more. His
stats the next year actually improved, up to 1,544 yards rushing, to
complement his seventeen touchdowns, and he produced his fourth best
single season average for rushing yards gained per game at 110.3. For that
performance he was named to the First-Team All-NFL squad for the eighth
time in nine seasons.
 It took Hollywood to lure Brown off the NFL gridiron—he went on to
appear in movies such as The Dirty Dozen. Doug Crusan, an offensive
lineman for the Miami Dolphins, said, “To have him leave when he had
years left in him—he still had a lot of gas left in his tank, and back then the
Cleveland Browns teams were good. He controlled the game. It was kinda
like, ‘Oh, no. He’s got the ball.’ Watching him pick his way through holes—
tremendous running back, my goodness! He was a fullback that ran like a
halfback; that’s the scariest part there. He was a good-sized guy, a big
man.” The 232-pound Brown went six feet, two inches, but he cast a ten-
foot-long shadow.
Brown’s credentials as an all-round superb athlete are sparkling. As a
college freshman at Syracuse, where he would letter in four sports, he once
came in fifth place in the decathlon. As a sophomore, he averaged fifteen
points per game for the basketball team and he ran track as well. He is a
member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of
Fame, and he is honored as well in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame. One source
says only three athletes ever have been inducted into two or more
different pro sport’s halls of fame, with the other two being Ted Williams
and Cal Hubbard.
Boxing champion George Foreman once said, “I had two heroes
growing up, John Wayne and Roy Rogers. Then one day I saw Jim Brown.”
Those who had the opportunity to watch Brown know precisely what
Foreman meant.[2]

If you start with Jim Brown in the backfield at fullback, then you
positively must put John Unitas under center as the greatest of his era. In
fact, Unitas, like Brown, has also been labeled the best player ever. For
instance, in one poll based on the first fifty years of the NFL Unitas came
out on top of all other stars since the league’s inception. Lenny Moore
opined, “I would say the publicity that was given to Unitas, and the
grandeur of the things that he did were richly deserved, believe me.”
Marchetti said of Unitas, a man who for more than five decades, from
1960 until 2012, held a record for firing at least one touchdown pass in
forty-seven consecutive games: “First of all, I think he’s the best. I don’t
think there’s any doubt about it, and I think if they had the same rules
today as they had yesteryear, he would be a much higher-rated passer than
he is now. Nowadays, a receiver goes down the field and you can’t touch
him. In our day, we treated a receiver like a blocker. As long as he was
running in the backfield, we could do whatever we wanted, as long as the
ball wasn’t thrown in the air.”
Andy Nelson, a close friend of Unitas, said, “I knew he was good
before I came to the Colts. He played for Louisville; I played for Memphis
State. One day he completed about fifteen passes on us and somebody
said, ‘Who is that guy?’ Another said, ‘That’s UNI-toss.’ They called him
that. But he was just the coolest guy on the field. Nothing bothered him.
He just never got rattled.”
Linebacker Jim Houston called Unitas a quarterback who was difficult
to contain. Impossible to contain is more like it. When Unitas finally called
it quits, he held twenty-two records and, as Marchetti pointed out, Unitas
never played a sixteen-game season; most of his seasons had fourteen
games, but in the first five of his eighteen total years in the NFL there were
only twelve regular-season games staged. Marchetti continued, “When we
first started, a season was twelve games, so he didn’t have the same
opportunity [as today’s quarterbacks]. But most of all, I think, John should
be known more for his leadership, for his attitude towards the game, and
the hours that he put in studying during the week of the game.”
Moore simply said that Unitas had it all, from a fabulous arm to
leadership qualities to supreme confidence. “All of it. Of course it had to be
a combination of a little bit of everything, and then improving on that.”
Teammates were well aware of the wordplay used concerning Unitas,
believing Unitas truly could and did, “unite us.”
One Colt teammate, running back Tom Matte, said Unitas was “the
ultimate leader. You just looked at him and it was sort of like, some guy
said, ‘God’s speaking here.’ We had great, great trust and belief in what he
could do. He was expected to produce and he just expected the best out of
himself as he expected the best out of each of us, to give him the best
effort that we could.”
Clearly, Unitas did possess great leadership qualities and was a great
handler of his men. His star tight end John Mackey often told the story
about messing up a play when he dropped the football. As boos cascaded
down, he feared going back to the huddle, fearing banishment to the
sidelines. Unitas’s daughter Paige picks up the story. “I think he was a
rookie that year. He goes back and my dad called the same play, and he
looked him right in the eyes and said, ‘Silence the crowd.’ And I think he
scored, and Mackey later told me, ‘That’s the way your dad said, I believe
in you. It’s OK that you messed up, but let’s fix it.’”
Marchetti recalled an incident from 1960 when the Colts traveled to
Chicago. “It was probably the roughest game that I ever played in, and
probably for John, too. He really took a beating and Jim Parker felt bad
because Doug Atkins was giving Parker fits, and I can remember coming off
the sideline and sitting next to John. God, he was bleeding, his nose, he
looked terrible.” Ewbank told Unitas he was going to pull him.
Marchetti continued, “John looked at him straight in the eye and said,
‘Listen, you are not taking me out. If you take me out, I’ll kill you.’ John
could have easily taken a couple of plays off and nobody would have said
anything, but he didn’t want to do that. He said a quarterback is the leader
of the offense and he wanted to lead, and that’s exactly what he did.”
Unitas’s receivers said he could throw with soft touch and finesse, or
he could make his passes travel so quickly you almost expected jet vapors
to trail behind the football. Defenders realized that fact early on, as Unitas
led the NFL in TD passes from his first full season in the league, 1957,
through 1960. No quarterback beside Unitas has ever accomplished that.
Safety Rick Volk, another teammate of Unitas, said, “When I first came
to Baltimore John was the only person I really knew who played for the
Colts because up there in my home state of Ohio and in Michigan [where
Volk attended college], I was more of a Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions
fan, so I didn’t know a lot about the Colts, but I did know about Johnny U,
Raymond Berry, and Lenny Moore—guys like that, guys who had been on
the team for quite a while.
“So when you line up against him in practice, you know it’s Johnny U,
but you just go ahead and try to do the best that you can—do your
assignment and play within the team. You get a little bit intimidated at first
because you’re playing against these guys and you don’t know what to
expect—speed-wise and arm strength–wise, and them being savvy like
they were, little things that they can do to throw you off a little bit. They
might look you off and come back to the other player, the other receiver
that they want to go to, and they can move you around with their eyes and
things like that; but once the ball snapped, and the ball is in the air, it’s like
anything else—you’ve got a player, a receiver, and you try to become a
receiver yourself when the ball’s up in the air.”
Marchetti added, “John wasn’t afraid of hard work, and he wasn’t
afraid to take chances. If you check back on that championship game of
1958, we’re down practically in the end zone and he throws a pass. How
many quarterbacks would have enough guts to do that—to throw to Jim
Mutscheller? But when they asked John about it, John just said, ‘You’re not
taking a chance if you know what you’re doing.’”
Fred Cox called Unitas the “prototype for all of them. You can say
what you want, but it was a different type of game when he was playing.
He just had a great arm and in a lot of ways he was totally different than
the other quarterbacks [of recent years] because when he was playing the
quarterback didn’t move around. He was a drop back passer—and you
stayed there in the pocket. It’s quite obvious that his accuracy and his arm
strength were just phenomenal.”
Pottios added, “He was a smart quarterback, a cerebral type guy who
would challenge you. He wanted to get you in a situation where he knew
he could beat you. So he was always looking for that kind of a setup where
your defense would be in a position that he could take advantage of.”

Sticking with quarterbacks, the golden age produced a passel of Hall

of Famers. Marchetti rattled off the names he felt were the best he ever
went up against, and he began with Norm Van Brocklin. “He was good
because—and John [Unitas] was this way—he knew where every receiver
was, knew where to throw the ball, and he was the least-hit quarterback in
the NFL. As far as I was concerned, I had a helluva time getting him
because he was so quick with the ball, throwing the ball. You’d think you
got him, and all of a sudden the arm would go forward, the ball would slip
out of his hand and go to a receiver. He was phenomenal, in my opinion.”
Van Brocklin, aka “The Dutchman,” took two different teams to NFL
titles, the 1951 Rams and, in his final season, an MVP year for him, the
1960 Eagles. He loved to throw long—his average of 15.2 yards gained per
pass completion ranks fifth all-time. In one 1951 contest, he launched the
football for five TDs and a glittering, unfathomable 554 yards, a total that
to this day stands as the all-time high for a single game.
 Some of the honors he earned include his selection to nine Pro Bowls,
his MVP award in 1960, and his inclusion on the Pro Football Hall of Fame
team for the 1950s. Only once in his career did he fail to finish in the top
ten for touchdowns thrown, passer rating, and for the best pass
completion rate. In addition, only twice did he fall short of top-ten status
for pass completions and passing yardage.
Among his biggest statistical accomplishments are the four seasons in
which he led the NFL in yards gained per attempted pass. Three of those
seasons were in a row, from 1950, just his second year in the pros, through
1952, and in his best year for that stat, 1954, he established a personal
high of 10.1 yards for every pass he threw. Plus, he also led the NFL that
year by averaging exactly 19 yards for every one of his completions. Finally,
through 2015, his stat of throwing a touchdown on 6 percent of all of his
pass attempts stands at number ten in the annals of the NFL.
He even handled punting chores for his teams, once leading the
league with his average of 44.6 yards per punt. Over his illustrious career,
he even had three punts that traveled 70 or more yards.
Later, he became the head coach for the Minnesota Vikings, the first
in the history of that franchise, and the Atlanta Falcons. However, he didn’t
fare as well with the coaching X’s and O’s as he did as a player. His overall
coaching record stands at 66-100-7, and the best record he could muster
was 9-5 with the Falcons in 1973, good for a second-place finish in the NFC
West Division.

Another record-setting quarterback was Yelberton Abraham Tittle,

whose unusual name and bald head may have led some people to think,
“Here’s a timid, unremarkable guy. Probably a businessman or insurance
salesman.” In truth, this man, better known, of course, as Y. A. Tittle, was
calm under fire and stayed in the pocket with no trepidation at all. Before
Unitas shattered records by the dozens, Tittle possessed almost every
single one of the major passing marks—in fact, he established three of the
biggest, most important records. He owned the lifetime record for the
most touchdown passes with 212, and he held the top slot for the most
career yards through the air at 28,339. His last major record to fall, like the
other two, to Unitas, was his total of 2,118 pass completions.
 The two-time league MVP also tied the record for the most
touchdown passes in a game, seven, and in a season, thirty-six in 1963.
Raymond Berry said it seemed as if Tittle, like precision pitcher Greg
Maddux, threw nothing but strikes. Berry was correct—Tittle once led the
NFL in completion percentage at 63.1 and another time he led the league
with his passes being accurate 60.2 percent of the time. And that was in his
next-to-last season when he was almost forty years old.
At the mention of Tittle’s name, Joe Walton said, “Oh, Y. A. Tittle! He
was one of my favorite people in the world. He was traded to the Giants
the same year I was, 1961. When he set the record for throwing seven
touchdowns in one game, I caught three that day including the last one to
set the record.
“He was not only a very good pinpoint passer, he was a very tough
guy. He would run bootlegs and he was one of the boys. He wasn’t just a
quarterback. Everybody liked him and the way he played. He was a great
leader.”
Myron Pottios said Tittle, a seventeen-year veteran, was a quarterback
who “did everything right. He just did everything he had to do to win. He
was up in age in the 1960s, but he was still good. He had no speed, he was
old, but he won. He knew how to do the job and he knew how to win.” At
the age of thirty-seven he was still skilled enough to lead the NFL in TD
passes with thirty-six. Plus, his league-leading quarterback rating of 104.8
that year, 1963, was a personal best and, at the time, the sixth-highest
rating ever.
Marchetti said some of the best of his era were “Y. A. Tittle and Bobby
Waterfield. They, along with Van Brocklin and Unitas, were probably the
best in my league at that time. Tittle still has his recess pennies, though”
joked Marchetti of Tittle’s frugal ways.
Despite his achievements, naturally, there came a time when it was
over for him. Sam Havrilak, like scads of people, has one image pop into his
head, not unlike a word association game, when he hears Tittle’s name. “I
see the picture of him on his knees, bleeding from the face, when he was
hit by one of the Steelers [John Baker].” The 1964 black-and-white photo
also shows Tittle, thirty-eight, and in his final season, sans helmet, in his
own end zone after throwing an interception that was returned by Chuck
Hinton for a score.
 Walton recalls the play vividly. “He really got beat up bad that day.
He’s on his knees with blood running down. I remember him getting back
up and he still went on to play. I was always impressed with that one day in
particular.”
The year before that play, Tittle was the MVP, and the three previous
seasons he had led his Giants to the championship game, but age caught
up to him, and it was time for the battered Tittle to limp away from the
game.

Another quarterback who gained fame in New York (before and after
his days in the Minnesota Vikings jersey) was Fran Tarkenton. Like Tittle, his
full name also sounded a bit flowery—Francis Asbury Tarkenton. Perhaps it
actually sounded more regal. In any case, as if to dispel any conception
that he was soft, his NFL debut quickly sent the message that there was a
new gunslinger in town. He threw for four touchdowns that day back in
1961 and would later follow that up by winning three NFC titles for his
Vikings.
Fred Cox said of his Minnesota teammate and close friend Tarkenton,
“Francis was a great guy, but he was a typical quarterback. He was good,
and he knew it, and that’s OK—I never had a problem with that.”
Cox said an NFL quarterback needs, and almost invariably has, a big
ego and oodles of confidence—at least the great ones, that is. “You better
be able to throw three interceptions in a game and know that your next
pass is going to be a touchdown. That’s just the way it is. If you don’t have
that kind of attitude in pro ball, you just can’t play—and be worried about
whether you’re going to throw an interception. You’re just not going to get
it done. That’s like a kicker worried about his last miss. If you worried
about the last one you kicked. If you’re even thinking about the last one,
whether you made it or missed it, you’re in trouble on your next kick.”
Cox said he believed Tarkenton, the 1975 MVP, was “the first million-
dollar quarterback” and marveled at his ability to succeed many times due
to his scrambling skills. Most experts contend Tarkenton revolutionized the
quarterback position when he defied the prevailing convention that
quarterbacks had to stay in the pocket in order to succeed. He divested
himself of tacklers with the same ease as he shooed flies away.
 Cox reminisced further, “The amazing part of his scrambling is on
Mondays, to loosen up, we would play kind of a touch football game, and it
was absolutely astounding that people could not touch him. You’d go to tag
him and he’d make some kind of little move and you’d never touch him. He
just had amazing reflexes and, of course, we could go on and on about how
many times he scrambled for first downs.
“I think he still holds the record for—what’d he scramble, well over a
minute? Almost two minutes against the Bears. Try that sometime—go out
and try to run around for two minutes with eleven guys chasing you.”
Some hyperbole aside, Cox said there is no question in his mind that
Tarkenton was more proficient at scrambling than Roger “The Dodger”
Staubauch. “That’s not taking anything away from Staubach—he was a
great quarterback, but he wasn’t even in Francis’s league as far as being
able to scramble.”
Doug Crusan said that his Dolphins faced him many times and “when
our defensive linemen were done playing the Vikings, they were
thoroughly exhausted. He ran all over the place. You’d chase him and chase
him. They’d go, ‘You gotta be kidding,’ because he would get back in the
pocket, and then he’s gone. He scrambled all the time, more than Staubach
—he was always in motion.” Many linemen who vainly pursued him grew
to loathe him.
Tarkenton’s total yards gained as a runner stands at 3,674, and he
wound up with a rushing average of 5.4 yards per carry, more than men
such as Gale Sayers, even though such a comparison certainly isn’t a valid
one. Tarkenton ran for thirty-two touchdowns, fifth-most for a
quarterback, and you can bet a lot were not merely on sneaks.
Bob Hyland was a center/guard who, in his fifth season, became a
Tarkenton teammate on the Giants, so he never had to give chase to
Francis. “He was a fun guy to play against, and a much more fun guy to play
with. He was a really gifted player. We didn’t have a great offensive line.
We had a couple of good pros, Doug Van Horn, Willie Young, Greg Larson,
and myself, but we had a couple weaknesses. We did very well that year as
far as sacks go, partially because of Fran—he understood his personnel
around him very well. He knew what plays were going to be doable from a
standpoint of the personnel. He had such a quick release and was such a
terrific scrambler that we gave up very few sacks. We were under .500, but
he made it interesting.
“Once he had all his offensive linemen up to a place he rented in
Connecticut. He and Randy Johnson, the two quarterbacks, waited on us.
We barbecued, and if we wanted a beer, he would go get it. It was a lot of
fun. He was smart in letting his offensive linemen know he appreciated
their efforts. He was a very interesting guy.”
Many times Tarkenton’s scrambles had another important by-product
—it provided his receivers extra time to get open. Additionally, his
pirouetting and his overall knuckleball-like elusiveness wore out hulking
defenders who were soon spent and who became so frustrated they
drooled at the prospect of getting payback by leveling the 190-pound
jitterbug. It was a fruitless task, though, resulting in those defenders being
able to relate to the frustration of a Tantalus.
How, perplexed coaches wondered, could they design a plan to
defend against Tarkenton, a man who didn’t even miss a game until his
eleventh season? England may have had the original Sir Francis (Drake),
but the Giants and the Vikings had the NFL’s Sir Francis who, in a typical
scramble, seemingly covered more ground than the famous explorer,
Magellan, first sailor to circumnavigate the globe.
Pottios certainly knew the problems a great scrambler presented.
“Here’s Tarkenton—you’ve got him all boxed in. Next thing, he’s scrambling
all over and he breaks loose and hits a guy downfield for forty yards, and
keeps a drive going. Those are the things that drive you nuts because
there’s nothing that you can do—you had the perfect defense called and
everybody plays it perfectly, but because of his scrambling ability, he was
able to disrupt it and make your perfect defense a no defense.
“He affected you mentally because you better get ready because you
know you’re going to be running all over the place, especially our defensive
linemen. They said, ‘Holy hell.’ Psychologically, they knew what was going
to happen. Once he started scrambling, they got to chase him all over, and
that’s when you get hit. When you’re trying to chase him, you get a blind
shot and those hurt.
“In my particular case as a linebacker, I cover my man. We have this
defense and I’m responsible for this guy, right? So I have to watch him—say
he goes ten yards down and goes out to the sideline. Now, here’s Fran, he
breaks loose and goes out toward my side. Now I’ve got to make a
decision. I either have to let loose of my guy and come up and tackle Fran,
or I have to stay with my guy and give Fran twenty yards to run down the
field on my side.
“What can you do in that case? You can’t come up until he crosses the
line of scrimmage, so you have a dilemma there, saying, ‘Wow, when do I
come up?’ Some guys get anxious and come up too fast, the receiver
continues down the field, a lazy pass, touchdown.”
Fred Cox continued, “The thing Francis had going for him that was
really a great asset—he was extremely intelligent. He knew football inside
and out. In fact, to the point where Bud Grant very rarely called a play for
him.
“I can remember a number of times him telling [coach] Jerry Burns,
when Jerry would be calling out plays for Bud to send in to Fran, ‘Jerry, he’s
doing just fine without us.’ Now that takes a lot of confidence.”
Tarkenton deserved the confidence Grant had in him. Playing at the
age of thirty-eight, he not only led the league in pass attempts,
completions, and passing yardage at 3,468, but in doing so he also
established career highs—all in his final season. Upon his retirement he,
not Unitas or Tittle, now held almost every major passing record from his
47,003 yards (still number eight through 2015) to his 3,686 completions
(number eleven) to his 342 touchdown passes (number six).

Tittle and Tarkenton were still playing at the age of thirty-eight, and
Unitas was still hurling the football at the age of forty, commendable feats
of longevity and by-products of talent. Then there’s George Blanda. When
Blanda, who seemingly could play for an eternity, finally quit, no man had
ever played in more games or scored more points than this
quarterback/placekicker. Incidentally, in each season from 1967 until he
was forced into retirement in 1975 he was the oldest player in the league.
Blanda outlasted Tittle and Tarkenton by ten years, and was still in uniform
appearing in fourteen games at the age of forty-eight.
For Blanda’s first ten seasons as a pro, he was with the Chicago Bears
except for a virtually forgotten one-game appearance with the Colts. Team
owner and head coach George “Papa Bear” Halas never seemed to trust
Blanda as his quarterback. At first Blanda played behind legends Johnny
Lujack and Sid Luckman, which makes sense. However, one season Halas
had Blanda buried on his bench, listed fourth on the quarterback depth
chart, behind men such as Ed Brown and Zeke Bratkowski.
In his first two seasons, 1949 and 1950, he had only thrown twenty-
two passes, but he saw some action as a linebacker while also handling
placekicking duties (he even returned two kickoffs). The Bears didn’t award
him the quarterback job until 1953, and he promptly led the league in
completions and attempts.
However, his starting quarterback days were short-lived in Chicago
and, aside from kicking, he mainly languished on the bench for the rest of
his days as a Bear. From 1956 through 1958 he would toss just ninety-five
passes. He quit after the 1958 season but joined the upstart American
Football League, which began play in 1960. He joined the Houston Oilers
that season, and one year later threw for a league high 3,330 yards and
established a new pro record by cashing in on thirty-six touchdowns
throws.
He thrived with Houston of the wide-open AFL—one day he chalked
up 464 yards through the air. His 9.2 yards per pass attempt in 1961 was so
lofty it still ranks fifteenth all-time for a single season, and his 17.8 yards
per completion that year is now number twelve all-time. Perhaps the most
notable feat from that golden season was his ability to hit pay dirt—9.9
percent of his passes resulted in touchdowns. To date that rate has been
surpassed just five times.
Passes from his lethal arm and kicks off his booming leg riddled the air
like bullets from a machine gun—or, better yet, given Blanda’s age, like
spray from a Gatling gun. Houston’s ability to amass yardage and points
was astounding. They piled up 6,288 yards, most coming on Blanda throws,
when no other team had even sniffed the 6,000-yard level, and their 513
total points scored set a new pro football high. In addition to racking up
points on his thirty-six passes, he chipped in even more points on kicks.
One of his sixteen field goals soared 55 yards, which ranked as the second
longest field goal ever.
In the 1961 title game, Houston defeated San Diego, 10–3, with
Blanda accounting for all of the Oilers points, six on a pass and four more
points on kicks. However, he did throw five interceptions in the game. At
the age of thirty-four, he had engineered two championships over the
league’s first two seasons.
The following season, 1962, his record as a starting quarterback was
11-3, but he would never again top the .500 level as a full-time starting
quarterback. Still, he guided Houston to a third straight championship
game.
In 1963, 1964, and in 1965, he led the league in completions, but also
in interceptions. Disenchanted, the Oilers put him on waivers and Oakland
claimed him.
Gino Marchetti, perhaps factoring in all of the interceptions, didn’t
think Blanda was exactly a grade-A quarterback, certainly not of the same
caliber of, say, Tittle or Johnny Unitas, saying, “He was a good second-string
quarterback and he was a pretty good field-goal kicker. He lasted with the
Bears for a few years then he went down to Houston and threw that
wobbly pass of his—and he was very successful. The talent wasn’t the
same at that time [in the AFL versus the NFL]—eventually it got up there.”
There’s a good chance that few fans are aware of one not-so-glowing
factoid about Blanda. His win-loss record for games as a starting
quarterback is just a bit above the break-even mark. He won fifty-three of
his regular season starts, tied one, and lost fifty of the games in which he
started under center.
Mike Lucci, veteran NFL linebacker, expressed similar thoughts, saying
that Unitas, for instance, was more precise in his passing than a Blanda or a
Joe Kapp. However, Lucci also recognized greatness in Blanda, talented
enough to kick in the pros “and do a helluva lot of things, but he just didn’t
look like he played pretty.”
Blanda certainly got the job done in 1970, in his fourth decade in pro
football. When he was forced to fill in for the Raiders’ regular quarterback,
Daryle Lamonica, Blanda’s heroics left the world of football reeling. At the
age of forty-three, Blanda, a Methuselah of a quarterback, came off the
bench and, thanks to passes, kicks, and football savoir faire, led Oakland to
dramatic wins in four games and a comeback to earn a tie in another
contest.
Mike Ditka stated, “I knew George because he played with the Bears
when I came in there as a rookie. The thing that made George good—now,
not that he didn’t have talent, he did have talent—[is that] he was the
greatest competitor. He didn’t like to lose in anything. And when you get
people who have that initiative and drive, they find a way to make
themselves better and to win.”
Rich Erdelyi, who was Dan Marino’s football coach in high school and
also coached at Carnegie Mellon University, certainly knows his football.
He once said of Blanda, “He always seemed like a tough, gritty guy, a
competitor. He was, like thirty-seven, thirty-eight years old still playing
quarterback—still running the ball! He would figure out a way to get it
done.” The fire inside Blanda was white hot, and age never cooled that off.
Tom Matte also praised Blanda, “He was the ultimate wisdom guy. I
mean, he was always sitting in the background, ready to come in whenever
you needed him, and he had the talent. If you take a look at what his
talents were, there was another guy who was probably one of the most
versatile players around the league because he was kicking and playing
quarterback and doing everything. And he was a team leader, too.”
Blanda’s pro resume after his stunning comebacks was not over yet.
He would not hang up his spikes for another five seasons, retiring one
week before his forty-ninth birthday with twenty-seven seasons under his
belt. That meant that well over half of his life had been spent in pro
football.
By the end of his career, Blanda owned or shared thirty-seven
professional football records, including the most passes thrown and passes
completed in a single game, most TDs in a single season (thirty-six, tied
back then with Y. A. Tittle), and the most touchdowns fired in a game
(seven, tied with six others).
The bottom line is simple: Blanda is without doubt a deserving
member of the Hall of Fame who carved out a permanent place for himself
in the lore of the game. Kudos go out to Blanda, a man who tallied more
points (2,002) and played in more professional football games than any
player ever (340). Not only was he ageless, but he was also peerless.

Bart Starr was obviously another huge success. Matte said, “When
you talk about the great quarterbacks that are around, you got Unitas and
Bart Starr.” Starr led his Packers to five NFL titles, more than such recent
famous quarterbacks as Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw. Not only that,
Starr was able to go way beyond simply shining brightly in postseason play.
