Description:
"The quality of a great quarterback is being able to deliver when you have to," says Bart Starr in this rich and rewarding documentary about professional football's field generals. Starr, a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Green Bay Packers during the Lombardi years, ought to know, of course. The legend ranks high on 50 Greatest Quarterbacks's list of most accomplished QBs, guys who know how to get the job done when the stakes are high and the pressure is unbearable. Starr's in great company. The listings here include not only such obvious giants as Joe Montana, Joe Namath, and Johnny Unitas, but illuminate the overlooked careers of Frank Ryan of the Browns, John Brodie of the 49ers, and Ken Stabler of the Raiders, among others. Still, the high points of this video are extended chapters on Namath, who legitimized the AFL for many skeptics, and Montana, whose confidence made greatness look all too easy. --Tom Keogh
