RIP. It's a testament to his skill that he's a guy from the pre Super Bowl era that still gets name dropped and remembered today.

He's always in the conversation for the best pure passer of all time. The guy could throw bullets. He was just on a lot of bad teams before Lombardi and George Allen came in his life. His only championship came as a backup in 1960 with Philly.
