I am a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, so I can admit that #15 & his legendary teammates left me crying more times than I care to remember😅. He & Unitas definitely were my favorite "enemy" QBs. I cannot believe that they're NOT going to have the funeral for the field general of the greatest team in pro football history at Lambeau Field. If Yankee Stadium was known as "The House That Ruth Built"... then no doubt Lambeau Field is "The House That Bart Starr Built". R.I.P. MISTER Bart Starr God bless our pro football heroes from a bygone era.🏈
Bart Starr was everything to Lombardi and the Packers. He never got rattled, or intimidated. The games or moments to rise up and elevate his team were never to big. The guy was a champion in every way and was a gentleman all the way. The Packers aren't my team but Im a football fan and historian, and I can say without hesitation Bart Starr was one of the players that when people ask, who were the "Great" players of yesteryear, Starr would be in my top 3 (Starr, Unitas, Brown) you can switch them up. Starrs greatness was his ability to play well no matter the situation, weather, or weekly challenges he faced. The man was a "WINNER" period. A American that we can say proudly, played with class, dignity, and toughness. RIP Mr.Starr.
Spryfol II as a lifelong packers fan you summed up Bart Starr perfectly he always rose to the occasion and delivered a win a great champion and Lombardi knew he could count on him to play his best every game thank you 🙏🏻 rip Bart Starr my childhood hero
at 2:50 hes getting emotional.... I respect that. Starr was a giant. You wont see it on stat tables, you had to know & understand the era & the importance of that team... this league was literally built on guys like starr. he was a major foundation piece on wh/ the modern sports of today that you see & enjoy nfl wise was built. he was also a grinder & morally strong man. people can discount people like that as not glamorous, but the truth is they were the glue that made the league such a strong enterprise in that era. the era in wh/ the nfl surpassed mlb as amer's pasttime. never wouldve happened w/o guys like starr.... RIP
Watched Starr managing games since 1962... always noticed his toughness in the pocket and his durability... Also over the years, defensive teams played up on him daring him to beat them deep and he did that time and again including both Super Bowl wins. KC and Oakland both were beaten by his passing and his habit of throwing deep even on 3rd and short. A great man and terrific QB #15 forever
He didn’t care about stats except for wins it was just win baby I always admired Bart Starr then Kenny Stabler and roger staubach all great in their own way Starr and Lombardi the Coach were two all time greats
Being realistic regarding how things are viewed today, Dan Patrick is of course correct. However, it is the arrogant narrowness of today's generation that thinks nothing significant ever happened before they were born. The Packers of the 1960s won five NFL championships including two Superbowls, The NFL championship, before it was called "the Superbowl", was the pinnacle of achievement in football. The AFL at that time ,before merger, was not on the same level as the NFL. Was there some good football in the AFL pre-merger? Sure. But the level was not on par with the NFL. Thus, to diminish the significance of NFL championships before the Superbowl is just plain stupid.
griese played in 8 of the games that season. thats nearly half. he also took them thru the 71 season into the SB and again in 73 (a better team then 72). & if stabler doesnt complete the miracle pass in 74, fins probably win 75 SB. that wouldve been 4 straight SB's he led the fins to..... griese in fact, is very much like starr playing style wise. he was a better runner, but he had the same brains & detatached icey coolness. he was the starr of the 70's as russell wilson is now imo.
@@stonekold10x ... griese played in 2 of the playoff games... 7 in total. morall did a great job as a backup, but he was floundering in the playoffs. griese was vital in getting them over the top in the championship & SB.
@@t4texastomjohnnycat978 starr is the reason a guy like griese got in the hall.... starr was voted in not for stats, instead for championship wins, field generalship, smarts & accuracy. he was the prototype for a guy like griese or simms. b/c starr was so stellar in those categories, it allowed guys in that mold to also get in. otherwise griese may not have gotten in if it was based more on #'s like w/ sonny, unitas or glamour like namath.
I definitely agree with you that Sammy Baugh was great... he was a fantastic athlete, but I disagree with your comment that "Starr was not great". If Bart Starr had played in the same era as Baugh, he too would have been a two-way player. Most people seem to forget that Starr played QB AND DB for Alabama. In the 1954 Cotton Bowl against Rice, Dickie Maegle set rushing records against Alabama that will probably never be broken, but Starr at one time was a great overall athlete, similar to Baugh.🏈

My dad was childhood friends with Bart Starr. Dad even said he taught Bart how to throw a football, when dad was 13 and Bart was 10.

Dan ! Starr is in the hall for 5 titles in 7 years. Including 3 in a row. Including league mvp in 66 , a playoff record of 9 -1.
GOAT = Bart Starr. My opinion.

The Bart Star legacy, to me, was my following Dave Robinson...my classmate at Penn State.
❤❤ Bart was the best on a great Team. Still miss him and his wife Cherry. They were inseparable!
So, is Dan Patrick implying that if Bart Starr had won 5 championships before the Super Bowl era, he wouldn't be in the Hall of Fame ??
This is stupid commentary
He didn’t care about stats except for wins it was just win baby I always admired Bart Starr then Kenny Stabler and roger staubach all great in their own way Starr and Lombardi the Coach were two all time greats
Actually, if you look at meaningful stats, especially post-season stats, Starr was WAY better than Unitas. Look into it.
Max McGee. First MVP.
Starr was basically Joe Montana of his day.
Classic

Even though Griese didn't play on that dolphins undefeated team lol

@@kelvinkloud Griese got injured in week 5 and Morell won 11 straight he was the real reason they went undefeated not Griese

VERY good points & assessment, Kelvin. Bob Griese was a whole lot like B. Starr.🏈

Sammy Baugh was better then just about all of them.
Bart Starr was good but not great at QB.
Deserving HoF though
