The only ones I didn’t see play was Baugh , Luckman and Graham. But my father and grandfather spoke of them .
Fans always want to discount greatness from prior eras mainly cause they didn’t see them play. Watching highlights or reading stats can never describe the impacts they made on the game.
Sammy Baugh was like a super freak athlete of that era. Closet thing we’ve probably had this era to his athletic ability being able to play different positions is Deion.
It’s hard to judge what you can’t see and I get that
But when a player dominates the competitions they performed against that a big deal
I never seen Baugh play but have seen some video of him. He was a very athletic dude. You could just tell he was much more athletic than the other guys. And that’s mostly just natural. They didn’t train year round, have the nutritional info of today or even the ability to train like guys today. And they played under rules that are so much different than today. Safety wasn’t a concern at all. You could take a guys head off lol
It was just a different game but some of those guys were just naturally great athletes
Comparing them to todays players is impossible because the game was so much different but that doesn’t take away from the fact they dominated the competition they played against
