Long before Aaron Rodgers, there were other quarterbacks that created big things out of nothing on the football field. Guys like Johnny Unitas and Roger Staubach and Fran Tarkenton. Later came others, John Elway, Joe Montana, and Steve Young. All mobile, but with the exception of Elway, with only adequate arm-strength.
And then came Brett Favre. As a starter in 1992, in the time when, in this writer’s opinion, the best football of the 20th Century (and 21st Century) was played, Favre electrified the NFL with a combination of physical and improvisational talent.
