Alvin York;n178644 said:Remember, Johnny U played when there relatively few cities touting NFL franchises plus only a few organizations could produce competitive championship caliber teams. Do you really think Unitas could decipher the complicated defenses and deal with the rampant parity in this era of the National Football League? I really don't know. Just asking.
Johnny U also played in a rougher era than either of the other two mentioned, and changed the NFL through passing. Put Unitas in Montana's NFL or the even more slack Brady's NFL, where instead of the rules grossly favoring the running game, but favoring the passing game think what he could do. Unitas consecutive touchdown streak lasted 52 years. No conversation about greatest quarterbacks all time cannot have Unitas, because without Unitas there is no Brady or Montana.
