The problem from my perspective is I'm just old enough that I was able to watch him live. He wasn't nearly the same passer as in the '58 cliffhanger at Yankee Stadium. There wasn't much left in the tank. That's the Unitas I remember.Compared to Brady and Marino? C’mon man. You don’t have to be Mike Vick. For a pocket passer, it’s about being able to feel the pressure and move away from it in the pocket, and being able to get the ball out quickly. I’m more interested in how long it takes a QB to get from receiving the snap to releasing the ball than I am in his 40 time.
Unitas played in an era when an ACL was a career-ending injury and QBs got hit hard and often.
Unitas was the king of the comeback. Ice water in his veins.
