Here's a video of both Isbell and Herber in action:
[CHECK OUT THE AFTER-TOUCHDOWN HANDSHAKE IN THE ENDZONE. I've seen Packers' WR's shake hands like that in games this year. Could the handshake be our guys' nod to old timers like Isbell, Laws and Hutson? AND HOW ABOUT THOSE GOAL POSTS!]
And here are some pictures:
And a really good article comparing Isbell with his more famous counterparts, Sid Luckman and Sammy Baugh: http://www.profootballresearchers.or...27-06-1104.pdf
What's with all the throwing off the back foot? And why are milk men acting as referees?
As for the list...CHFF did a list a couple years ago, I think, and Bart Starr (based on their formula) was the greatest NFL quarterback...in all NFL history. Not just for the Packers. So, for me, watching Starr as I grew up (admittedly toward the end of his career), here is my list:
1. Bart Starr
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. Brent Favre
4. Cecil Isbell (just because I saw Maxie's video)
5. Lynn Dickey
