Bart Starr, a Hall of Fame quarterback who turned the Green Bay Packers into a dynasty and the recipient of the MVP award for the first two Super Bowls, died Sunday in Birmingham Alabama of a stroke. He was 85.
Long before the argument over if Joe Montana and Tom Brady on who was the greatest, there was Bart Starr. Starr retired from the NFL with the second-best passer rating of 80.5. He finished his NFL career with 3149 passing yards, 152 touchdowns and 138 interceptions, and a 57.4 completion percentage. Today, these stats seem pedestrian, but in the 1960s these stats were unworldly.
