With the 56th pick, Old Dude selects
Sammy Baugh, QB, P, DB, Redskins ![]() Led Washington to NFL titles in 1937 (his rookie year) and '42. (Made championship game 3 additional years, including a 14-15 loss to the Rams in which he played with separated ribs.) Led NFL in passing 6 times, Led in punting 4 times, and, in 1943, as a DB, he led the league in INTs. In 1943, he led in all 3 categories. This is the only time a single player has led the league in an offensive, defensive and special teams category. His punting average of 51.4 yards (in 1940), his career average of 45.1 yards per punt, and his passing completion percentage mark (70.3 in 1945) are still records. The passing percentage record is particularly impressive since he was never a “dink and dunk” guy. For example, on Halloween in 1948, Baugh set a new NFL record with 446 yards passing against the Boston Yanks at Griffith Stadium in Washington. Incredibly, he did it throwing only 24 passes, for an average of 18.6 yards per pass. (And, by comparison, Joe Montana’s highest single-season completion rate was 70.2 percent.) Baugh’s career marks show 1695 completions on 2995 attempts. He threw for 21,886 yards and 187 touchdowns. He rushed for 9 touchdowns. These stats are also very impressive when you consider the rules of the day, the shorter schedules, and that fact that Baugh did not switch to a being a conventional T-formation QB until 1944. Up to that time, he was employed as a single wing tailback. It should also be noted that the NFL, at the time, had no specific regulation about footballs. Cleveland, in particular, used to over-inflate the pigskin when they played Baugh, just to make it more difficult to throw. (I can’t think of a bigger testament to a player’s greatness than when his opponents had to cheat on the equipment, just to slow him down.) Baugh lasted 16 seasons, which was quite a feat, since back in the 40’s, there was no such penalty as “roughing the quarterback.” Performances of note: On “Sammy Baugh Day” in 1947, he passed for 355 yards and 6 touchdowns against the Chicago Cardinals, that season’s eventual champions. This was not the first time he’d thrown 6 TDs in a single game. He also did it on Halloween, 1943. (Apparently, he liked that holiday.) Side note: After college, he joined the St. Louis Cardinals as a third baseman, and only switched to football after being sent to the minors. Famous quote: After a coach exhorted him at practice to try to throw the ball directly at his receiver’s eye, Baugh asked, “Which one?” At 91, Baugh is the last living charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Additionally he has been honored by the Redskins with the retirement of #33, the only jersey they have ever retired.. Additional Honors: · 50th Anniversary Team by the NFL (1969) · 75th Anniversary Team by the NFL (1994) · 36th greatest athlete of the 20th century by Burt Randolph Sugar (1995) · 64th greatest athlete of the 20th century by ESPN (1999) · 43rd greatest athlete of the 20th century by the Associated Press (1999) · 3rd greatest NFL player of the 20th century by the Associated Press (1999) · 11th greatest NFL player of the 20th century by The Sporting News (1999) · Scripps-Howard all-time college football team (1999) · 4th greatest college football player by Sport Magazine (1999) · 3rd greatest college football player by College Football News (2003) TheDave is on TheClock... |

The with 59th pick the KnockYerDickintheDirts select John Hannah G Patriots.
![]() I think this might be a little bit of a steal. Most believe Hog was the best ever at his position. Pretty nice value in round four. ![]() The KnockYerDickintheDirts 1 - Johnny Unitas QB 2 - Earl Campbell RB 3 - Shannon Sharpe TE 4 - John Hannah G Big Guy is on the clock... |

Lance Alworth, aka "Bambi" was known for his gracefulness and being the first superstar of the AFL. I bet he also had his share of the "California Girls" the Beach Boys were singing about.

I really wanted Ronnie Lott but he's gone so I'll go ahead and take Rod Woodson. Ilike DBs that can bring the pain.

BTW, everyone has their own subjective way of looking at this and their own standards of performance.
Some folks may think I'm on drugs with some of these picks. There's absolutely no doubt that modern players are faster, bigger and stronger than the vast majority of their prehistoric counterparts. Just for the record, the way I think I'm personally going to go about it is to take the average of the season in which each of my starting 24 (11 offense, 11 defense, P & K) entered the NFL in order to figure out what "era" the team would fall into. So far, I have Jim Brown: 1957 Anthony Munoz: 1980 Bob Lilly: 1961 Sammy Baugh: 1937 Average starting year: 1957 (Detroit won the title with Bobby Layne as the QB, their last NFL title) But that's just me, YMMV. ![]() |
