[@garytruex6906]

Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Theisman's single bar face-mask. I loved everything about the NFL when I was a kid.

It's the perhaps the golden era of the NFL

"...freshman quarterback Pat Kelly..." Known as Jim Kelly to everyone else. Don Coryell showing off his "terminal migraine". The expression never changes.

I was 13 and watched this entire afternoon. The Steelers and Cowboys were truly great teams. Then Dallas lost to a really good Rams team (but not as great as the previous teams so it came as a shock) to set up a great SB 14. What a time to grow up watching NFL Football. One thing fans can easily see when watching these highlights. QBs had a much smaller window to throw to, and they weren't as accurate in any case. It's just how the game was played then. So comparing Tarkenton/Staubach/Bradshaw vs the 80s and beyond QBs is not wise.

I agree, should compare quarterbacks based on their counterparts in the era they played. If compare 70s qbs to 2000s qbs is unfair.

The alluded CBS News Special Report was an interview of Sen. Edward "Ted" Kennedy (D-MA) who had spent much of 1979 denying that he would be a candidate for president against incumbent Jimmy Carter. The media hounded Kennedy, urging him to run and producing puff pieces claiming he would be shoo-in for the White House if he ran. But it was a tough decision for Teddy, having lost two brothers to assassination in the 1960s. This was his time, said the media. He was ready to announce he would run. There to interview Kennedy was CBS News' Roger Mudd who decided to start the live interview with the seemingly simplest question a candidate could field "why do you want to be President?". Ted looked completely lost as if he'd just drove off a bridge and then stammered his way through an answer. It was a disaster. Kennedy wound up losing the nomination to Carter who still had all the Democrat Party machine behind him.

Ronald Reagan was on the verge of changing everything.
