He was a two-time All-SEC selection and a two-time SEC passing leader. While at Georgia, Bratkowski threw for 4,836 passing yards before moving on to his 14-year NFL career with the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams, and Green Bay Packers. With the Packers he became known as "Super Sub" backing up starter Bart Starr as Green Bay won three consecutive World Championships including two Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967. Bratkowski was known for leading the Packers from a 10-0 deficit to a 13-10 overtime victory over the Baltimore Colts clinching the NFL Western Conference title. He was inducted into the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1980.
The transition from Bratkowski to Ratkowski is seamless. I mostly voted for him as I had the pleasure of meeting him and getting his autograph last year along with Fuzzy at the party before the Minn. Monday night game.
Better than naming him after Brett. Fans of other teams would name the mascot after the star. We love all (well, most) of our players--especially the obscure ones (like Paul Ott Carruth, Barty Smith, Ed West, etc.).Quote:

Last I knew, he was offensive coordinator for Miami, or some such thing.
