RIP Bart Starr. I grew up watching him demolish better teams such as Y. A. Tittle’s NY Giants.

I thought Roger Staubach was better and more exciting a QB, but Starr was a better strategist. If he didn’t kill you with his play calling, you had to face Jimmy Taylor punching a hole in the middle, Paul Horning running wide, or worse, throwing an option pass. Packers were an awesome team!
