Quote: I would venture to say most of us never saw either of these guys throw a pass or run for a TD in a live NFL game. I sure wasn't.

 

Heck, most of us weren't even alive at anytime during their playing careers. Otto Graham (1946-1955) and Sammy Baugh (1937-1952), although there might a poster or two in here who was.

 

Anybody out there see either of these guys play?

 

  I agree with you that the vast majority of people reading this thread never saw Otto Graham or Sammy Baugh play a live game.   Yet,   much like when discussing who were the best Presidents in the entire history of the United States,  there's enough information available that one can form an opinion even if they weren't around at the time something took place.    There were other great QBs in the earlier days of the NFL.   Including Sid Luckman and Bobby Layne.    But the accomplishments and skill levels of Graham and Baugh were extraordinary.     Thankfully,  there are highlight reels of these players for people like us and future generations to see.
