@rinkydinkydoink I remember watching Ben Davidson level Joe Namath and break his jaw, or the photo of Y. A Tittle on his knees in the middle of the field with his helmet knocked off and blood running down his face.
You made me recall wondering if Namath could ever run more than a few yards before it looking like he was about to collapse - - - so I YouTubed him for a video of his college days: the man could once run like a gazelle.
Y. A. and Tobin Rote were my favorite old-time QBs :D
@rinkydinkydoink Yes, Namath was quite an athlete before the injuries, but at least one of his knees was blown out in college and much of his career was spent with heavy-duty metal knee bracing on one, or maybe both, knees. And we have to remember that back in Namath's day -- and earlier -- there were no helmet radios and it was Namath who called the games, often at the line of scrimmage.
