Well said all the way around. The comparison with Aikman is spot on imo. One of my childhood athletic heroes as well (along with Sandy Koufax).RiverDog":s556ot90 said:Although I wasn't a Packers fan, Starr was one of my childhood idols. I saw someone say that a good comparison for those of you that never saw him play would be Troy Aikman, and I tend to agree. Quarterbacking was a much different position back then. QB's called their own plays, not nearly as much passing, etc.
As a coach, he was a disaster, and a prime example how great players don't necessarily make great coaches.
R.I.P.
