Baugh is one of my favorite quarterbacks of all time. Not only was he a great quarterback, he was also an excellent safety, which made him one of the NFL's most unique and talented players.
Yep. He's a legend, without a doubt. I love old footage like this. Takes you back to those good ol' days with very few pads and a bunch of truly rough and tough men, duking it out in a blossoming sport.
Gotta love internet bulletin boards. Home of the anonymous haters and jerks. "Old clown"...my &^$. Mr. Baugh was the Montana/Young/Aikman/Farve/Elway/Manning/Bradshaw/Starr/Unitas, pick one, one of his day. We have lost a sports legend. May he rest in peace. Grow up, albanypjm.
Nobody was as versatile as Slingin Sammy. He caught 4 interceptions and threw four touchdown passes in a single game. He was also one of the greatest punters the NFL has ever known. R.I.P.
Also I wish to note that the way you conducted yourself off the field with your fans and others is something I always admired and greatly respected. You were a very special person who inspired others and never forgotten the people who supported you. Thank you again Mr.Baugh for being a role model and always caring about your fans. You were ahead of your time with your gridiron performance and even more so with your compassion, kindness, and heart. You will never ever be forgotten. God bless you.
Thank you Mr.Baugh for being the great person and athlete that you were. Although I only saw you play in b&w video clips, I admired your outstanding football abilities but more important the quality and character of you as a person touched my heart and made me a fan of yours. When I read an article from the Sporting News years ago that mentioned how you welcomed and encouraged fans to call or visit you that spoke volumes about your character. R.I.P. Sammy. You are the greatest. God love you.
God speed... before brady, marino, namath, montana, unitas, lane... there was baugh.. the nfl was forged on the back of such stellar stars as he.. i hope the giving him a fitting tribute this sun.
Show some respect, man. He was throwing touchdowns before 80% of the people on youtube (Myself included) were born. Even as a Cowboys fan, I have to admit that he is STILL one of the greatest to ever play the game, to this day. He is easily the best two-way player in the History of football. R.I.P
People dont realize that he performed all the greatness all while using perhaps the most unorthodox passing style of any quarterback ever. Instead of holding the ball by the laces and letting the ball roll of his hands, he help it by the skin and sort of pushed it out instead. It was a complicated throwing motion, which is why its all the more remarkable that Baugh was such a great passer. He's one of my favorite players ever, a great hero to look up to.
One of the best football players of all time. Great QB, great DB, and probably the best punter of all time. He averaged over 50 yards per punt his entire career.
I am the worlds greatest Redskin fan, #9 is my hero, but Sammy Baugh was incredible. I'm a little to young (68) to have actually seen him in action, but theNFL channel just named him #1 most versitile player of all time. I agree. I have every Monday morning entire sports section after every Redskin game since 1973!
He was the best ever, the only guy to lead the league in interceptions, punt return average, and touchdowns. So think about in his career he lead the lead in an offense, defense, and special teams category. He also lead the Redskins to NFL championships and won a couple. He also was a great QB also at TCU. So what if this was done in the 30's,40's, and until he retired in 1952, he was great and if you say he sucks then go screw youself.
