re: #19, Johnny Unitas - Died 16-Years-Ago Today, RIP

Was also a tough QB, endured some vicious hits during that era and generally always got up and kept throwing. I recall Jim Parker reminiscing about a game against I believe the Bears where someone ripped the skin above his lip off or something, causing that area to profusely bleed, and the teammates were scrambling to pack that area with mud to stop the bleeding and U comes out and throws the game-winning TD pass like it was nothing. His 1959 season is considered one of the most dominant and prolific QB seasons of all-time, threw for 32 TDs that season and enjoyed one of the greatest championship game performances possibly of all-time against the Giants in the rematch.
