OT: RIP Bart Starr (1934 - 2019)

I'm not a Packers fan, but I recognize a great quarterback and a class act when I see it. One can debate the pre- free agent era vs today all day long, but Bart Starr still holds the best playoff record (9 -1), and the highest post-season passer rating (104.8). Only 5 other QBs ** presently equal or exceed his Super Bowl record of 2 - 0 as a starting SB QB. RIP, sir, and thanks for the memorable games.

** note that 2 active QB's, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger went 3 - 0, and 2 - 0, respectively prior to their 1st Super Bowl defeat.

Bart Starr was revered far beyond his Green Bay fan base and long past his playing days.

Got to see him in the pre-Super Bowl AFL-NFL World Championship Game, January of '68. Also when the Packers played the Dolphins in the regular season his last year, '72 as I recall. One of my all time favorites.

Always a class act. I was born in Detroit but could never bring myself to hate the man. Nitschke, on the other hand.........

RIP, Mr. Starr. You were a good guy and a great qb.
