Once again comparing Starr to Brady is pure folly as the game is completely different than it was in the late 50's to the early 70's..
Consider:
In 19 years Brady has thrown and completed 9375/6004
or an average of 520 passes and 333 completions per year
In 17 years Starr has thrown and completed 3149/1808
or an average of 185 passes and 106 per year...
Even more folly or a problem with the metrics:
Bart Starr a lifetime passer rating of 80.5
Tom Brady a lifetime passer rating of 97.6
Bart Starr 152 total TD's in a 17 year career,avg. 9 per year
Tom Brady 517 total TD's in a 18 year career, avg. 29 per year
For s..it and giggles:
Otto Graham lifetime passer rating of 86.6
Johnny Unitas lifetime passer rating of 78.8
All were great in their own times as was Otto Graham, Johnny Unitas and all the rest, but comparisons are very difficult due to the way the rules and game has changed significantly over the years.. how the game was played in the 50's, 60's and 70's is completely different..
