    This was the NFL show I grew up with. This is also a perfect example of what @Alaska Darin means when he says Brady wouldn't have lasted three years in the old NFL.

Imagine the fervor if this hit happened today.

Later in Johnny Unitas’s career his accuracy was reduced. His arm, hand, and shoulder no longer worked the way they should, due to all the punishment they had taken. After he retired you’d be justified in calling him a partial cripple. 
 

Joe Montana missed a good chunk of his career due to injury. Later in his career he had something very visibly wrong with the elbow on his throwing arm. 
 

On the one hand, football seems more authentic when it’s hard-hitting, as depicted in the video. The accomplishments seem more solid. On the other hand, I want the future Josh Allen to be able to play with his grandkids. I want him to be able to run around, without worrying about crippled knees. I want him to be able to throw them a ball, and have proper use of his arm, elbow, and rotator cuff. 
 

There’s plenty which could be done to improve the game, without crippling players the way Unitas was crippled.

Such a darn shame orthopedic surgery was still in the dark ages when he played.

 

He was the most exciting back to watch of all time.

He was just a "different level" athlete that comes along maybe once a generation.  That injury couldn't have happened to a better person.  He was by all accounts a great dude.

I could go out, right now, and find ten people driving RAV-4s who couldn't hit the speeds Matt Breida hit.

I met Steve Largent years ago.  Nice dude. 

 

 

I always enjoyed watching Largent play.

I was actually pretty distraught when the BILLS drafted Jim Kelly.  Marino was my guy all the way.

Every time I watch that, I fall asleep before he reaches the end zone. 

 

I love this old video stuff.
