Publicity photo of NFL starting qbs prior to the 1961 season.

Can anyone name all of them without research?

Yeah, I didn't realize John Brodie started for the 49ers that long. Thought he won the job around 1966 or so.

Neither did I realize Don Meredith started for Dallas since the second year of the franchise. Took over for Eddie LeBaron.

See number 19 with the crewcut in the back row?

Let him play today with rules where wide receivers can't be touched and a flag drops if the quarterback is touched--instead of 60s rules where a defender could beat the shite out of a WR until the ball was in the air and quarterbacks were fair game to be hit-no "sliding"--

and that guy would set records that would dwarf Drew Brees and Tom Brady.

He hadn't yet gotten to the Redskins.

But look down one row.
