Bart Starr didn't play against black people.
Seriously though, he had it easy. Have you ever watched an old football game. It's almost comical how slow the game was.
Ya I don't buy "the best then would be good now" with modern training argument. I'm sure there's a few though.
I think there is a good chance the best athletes of the 30s and 40s weren't even playing at that time. Think about who falls through the cracks even today. Now go back 70 years. How many farm hands, shoe shine boys, etc didn't even attempt sports due to it not even being an opportunity.
Today, pretty much everyone in this country has access. Now add in guys from Africa or the Caribbean that couldn't play here back then. It's just, c'mon man
