[quote=Yoda]Yeah those passing numbers adjusted for the era are bananas. I hope people remember that stuff, since everything's inflated now.

Part of that long tradition of legendary QBs from southwestern PA. People like to joke there must've been something in the water, but it's more just that people around here took this stuff way too seriously for generations. :laugh:[/quote]

[quote=Wyldesyde19][quote=Yoda][quote=Wyldesyde19]No, Miami was too far and I wasn’t a fan of them anyways.  Too young to realize how good he was at the time[/quote]
I dig. Yeah, it took people awhile to realize just how good (particularly from the time period, which is really the only way to judge these things) he was.

That said, so many great players like that are worth seeing, fan or no. I'm not a Dodgers fan but I'm so glad I got to see Clayton Kershaw in person.[/quote]

Oh, absolutely. I was just too young to appreciate it.  Now it’s different.  It really wasn’t until I had already moved to Pennsylvania, and by that time I was old enough, to realize how good he was.[/quote]

[quote=Wyldesyde19][quote=Yoda][quote=Wyldesyde19]I remember living in Florida when Miami was the better team and had multiple SB wins.  My, how times have changed.[/quote]
