Not much of a Bucs fan at all to switch allegiances for that. Bradshaw's career was played from 1970-1983. Joe Namath played from 1965-1977. Johnny Unitas played from 1956-1973. Prior to the NFL rules changes in 1978, CBs could maul WRs all the way down field, as opposed to the one chuck rule we see today. Prior to those 1978 rules changes, offensive linemen could not extend their arms while pass blocking. http://www.footballperspective.com/tag/1...s-changes/ The game was VASTLY different before those rules changes, and that's not even factoring in the concussion mitigation and QB protection measures implemented in the Goodell era. The Hall of Famers you list above played their entire careers (Bradshaw the bulk of his) under rules that made it far more difficult to pass the ball than what you see now. The pro game was a primarily a running game back then. Even with the vast differences in the rules, most of which have the effect of neutering defenses, every guy you listed STILL had higher completion percentages than Tebow. Even with those differences, all three of the QBs you named won at least one NFL Championship/Super Bowl. Tebow? Not so much. It's spectacularly disingenuous to make such a comparison without offering the context, to say nothing of insulting, considering Tebow was nowhere near the passer these guys were. Watch NFL films clips of those guys. Unitas invented the two minute drill. Namath and Bradshaw were two great deep ball throwers. Next time, make that argument to someone who doesn't remember those rules changes or understand the impact those rules changes have had. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
