I get so pissed off when some people undermine Bart Starr's greatness. He was one of the very greatest quarterbacks of all time and the Green Bay Packers of the 1960's wouldn't have been the super great team they were without him. He was 9-1 in the postseason. That speaks for itself how awesome he was. He should be in the top 5 on this list.
@@Artnsoul777 mostly bc of what some of the guys in the video said. it was Lombardi's Packers and Bart played in a primarily running league so he doesnt have a ton of great stats in the passing regards. Even as a Packers fan I wouldnt put him in the top 10. top 20 though and you could easily make a case for top 15. He had some great stats in regards to playoff record and passer rating.
I agree. Some in the video undermine the “Greatness” of Bart Starr because he played for Vince Lombardi. But he wouldn’t have won the MVP in both SUPERBOWLS-let alone in one of them- if he was “Average”, or “Incompetent”.
Bart Starr....The guy who has the best post-season record (9-1) & passer-rating (104.8), is number EIGHT for clutch QBs of all-time? LOL. Top 3 of all-time. Easily.
Are you taking into account all the greatness he had around him? Not saying other Great QBs didn’t but looking at Lombardis packers it’s easy to see why they were so dominant. And they point this out in the video. Yes he did come through in the playoffs more often then anyone but at the end of the day he was another part in what was one of the best assembled teams in NFL history
Even in the comments here, No one mentions that he almost never threw interceptions, threw i believe 394 consecutive passes w/out an interception, played in the era when QBs called their own plays. he was a ruthless general out there. he earned Lombardi's respect and trust [how hard is that] and the totally respect of his teammates. 5 NFL championships w/in 7 years, including 3 in a row. no other QB has that in his resume. not even Brady
You are correct. His post-season performance - when it mattered most - was the best ever. Isn't that what you want in a QB? And for all the talk about the Packers being a running team, during the last few years around their SB wins, they were actually more of a passing team. One of the best QBs ever, if not the best,
Tyler G , they didn't play nearly the amount of playoff games nor did they pass the ball as much as they do in post-1978/West Coast offense era. QBs throwing 40-plus times back then was evidence of an inability to run the ball and/or the need to score quickly because your team was losing.
I mean he came up big when Green Bay needed him to. Especially in 66 and 67. People who get to see highlights from that 66 Championship game really get to see how great he was. It was a shootout between him and Don Meredith and Starr came out the winner. He threw some remarkable passes those 2 championships and really came in clutch.
It's not the quarterback sneak that made the drive, it's the whole drive across a frozen field. It was gaining a 1st down after 2nd & 19. It was a pass in the flat for 19 yards, & Chuck Mercein going out of bounds to stop the clock. This was followed by the best, & most overlooked, play of the drive: an influence play to Mercein that gained 8 yards. Starr (who called his own plays, as quarterbacks did in those days) saved that play for that moment of the game. It was another of his calculated gambles that worked. If it had failed, it would have been 2nd & 10 at the 11 instead of 2nd & 2 at the 3.
The crazy thing is... It technically wasn't a QB sneak. They had called a running play twice before at the goal line, but the plays failed because the footing was bad. He told Lombardi that he was going to take it in himself but keep the same play called so it wouldn't tip off the defense that anything was different. He surprised everyone, his own teammates too, when he took it in himself. Mercein had to adjust and show the refs that he wasn't pushing Starr in, which was illegal at the time. That's why Mercein was holding his hands up like that. This was a major clutch play, and serious gamesmanship from Bart Starr. I think he is criminally underrated. I have Unitas number one for me all time, but Starr is, probably in my top 5 all time QB list, when I think about it.
Ray Scott Packer announcer was superb. “Dale to the left, Dowler to the right, Packers 3D and 15 from their own 12, Starr to throw...” Packers with Bart Starr played like a team.
Clannon, You're talking Bob Skoronski, whom I met in Boca Grande, Florida several years back. A great offensive tackle and a great guy, whom I watched as a model when I played that position.
That guy in the video that said, “Bart Starr was an AVERAGE QUARTERBACK”. How many SUPERBOWLS did that guy win? BART STARR: First QuarterBack to win A SuperBowl, First QuarterBack to win Back-To-Back SUPERBOWLS, First QuarterBack to Win SuperBowl MVP, First QuarterBack to win Back-To-Back SuperBowl MVP’s-pretty good for “AVERAGE”. He’s just “ENVIOUS” because it wasn’t him!
Matt Skora ,and they do so in such a disdainful way. As though Starr was merely a game manager being asked not to mess things up for everyone else. Unlike some whose stats are padded in the service of losing, Starr's post-season numbers don't lie. Nor does the film. We see highlight after highlight of Starr shredding defenses with accurate, timely passes. Imagine what he would do in a West Coast offense with not only more refinement of the passing game, but the many pages full of post-1978 rules that facilitate it. He's definitely one of the most underappreciated great players. Evidence of that is how low he's ranked on this clutch list. Ridiculous.
@@josedopwell9645 Agreed. Starr didn't thrown the number of passes he would under today's circumstances, but EVERY pass he threw was soul-crushing to the opposition. Look at that drive to win the Ice Bowl. Precision passing, in the worst game conditions in NFL history, with the game, the championship and -- what people forget/dismiss -- A THREEPEAT on the line. It's idiotic backhanded compliments like Accorsi's and Cosell's that pushed him off the Top 100 list in favor of an season-ending interception machine like Brett Favre.
TheAlfrulz Dilfer 1 ring > Marino 0 ring Plunkett 2 rings > Farve 1 So if team awards rings are used to judge better QB than you saying Trent Dilfer better QB than Dan Marino You saying Jim Plunkett better QB than Brett Favre
An awful lot of bitter so-called experts on this video; "it was the machine" , "it was Lombardi" ........ Boo hoo guys, suck it up........ Bart Starr, 5 Championships in 7 seasons; 9-1 in post-season play; MVP in the first two SBs ...... The guy was a winner, and a great QB.
Starr's clutch-ness with that play was his mind, to adjust the game plan to something that would work instead of running backs slipping on that marble-hard icy field. To have the presence of mind to think of that in the most pressurized spot in NFL history - a record-setting championship at stake in the coldest game in the history of the sport...that's clutch.
Xavier, Actually, what many people don't know about that play is that the genius of it was born of film study. In prepping for the game the Packers noticed that Dallas left defensive tackle Jethro Pugh #75 had a tendency to rise up slightly on close-yardage situations (as opposed to right defensive tackle Bob Lilly #74). So the Pack predetermined that if they were to run a qb sneak, they'd do it at Pugh. Now watch the film closely, focusing on Pugh and you'll see exactly what I mean, and what happened. Study + Preparation + Practice + Execution = Result. Also, Packers' center Ken Bowman (#57) does not get enough credit for "The Block," which was actually a "high-low" double team. Watch it again. Watch it in slo-mo. Bowman's shoulder is the leading edge of the block on Pugh and it's what stands him up and helps drive Pugh back.
Kramer got the publicity, but Bowman was just as responsible for knocking Pugh off the line as Kramer was. Pugh was slipping past Kramer and maybe gets to Starr if Bowman doesn't knock him back. Starr called the play, made the decision to take the ball in himself after Anderson couldn't get his footing, and followed the blocks by Bowman and Kramer through the hole and got into the end zone. Kramer did his job, but no more than Bowman and Starr.
Actually, Kramer was offside , and he has basically admitted that . Also, Ken Bowman helped out on Kramer's block , but no one in the media has given him credit for it .
Bart Starr was the field general to Vince Lombardi's system, if he wasn't there, the Packers would not have won three super bowls in a row. To Green Bay historians, he is the Tom Brady to Lombardi's Belicheck.
He's been my idol since I was in diapers (I'm 61 now). Starr was ALWAYS underappreciated even though he had a .900 record in the post season. Proof of that is he retired in 1971; however, it took 17 friggin years to get into the HOF?!?!?
Bart Starr is the original "system quarterback". He doesn't get the credit he deserves because he played under one of the all time coaches. However, he was the real deal. He performed so well in the postseason that only Brady trumps him. He was highly intelligent and a cunning player who had mastered Lombardi's system. He was the only player who Lombardi trusted enough to let him call a play that didn't even exist in the playbook, that infamous quarterback sneak to win the Superbowl.
Lombardi didn't just trust Starr to call that one play (which was in the NFL Championship game, not the Super Bowl), he trusted Starr to call ALL of the plays, all of the time. Starr ran the show on the field. The wedge play that Starr ran on that sneak was in the playbook, but it was designed for the running back, Chuck Mercein in this case, to run the ball in. Starr just modified it a bit and took the ball himself. Mercein has said that he thought he was getting a handoff when the play was called and the ball was snapped. By the way, Starr's sneak was famous, not infamous, except maybe in Dallas. Being infamous is a bad thing. For example, the attack on Pearl Harbor was infamous ("a date which will live in infamy").
Bart Starr #8 Clutch. Har, har, har. 5 Championships. 5. Who won more? Oh, yeah, Brady. Ice Bowl: How much clutch there? My daughter told me that people on line say stupid things in order to get 'clicks'. Whoever put this list together must have been desperate for 'clicks'. Anybody want to argue?
And we had an old man ( Halas) who was past his prime , and kept hiring the wrong people. Except for a reprieve when his son Mugs hired Jim Finks , the Bears have been bad 1969-74 and post 1992-2003 and 2012 >
If Bart played in NY he wood with out a doubt be number one....kinda like the 72 dolphins...all they did was win...but not in a market adored by the media...oh yeah I'm not a Packer or a Dolphin fan ..
The trip to the Super Bowl is on the line and you tell bleeping Vince Lombardi what play to run. Yeah that’s pretty clutch. Gonna need a dump truck to carry those balls.
Bart Starr was an average QB. Google "who has the highest QB rating in post season history." Enjoy you pencil necks. 9-1 post season record. Only recently got his post season QB rating record beat by Patrick Mahommes. These pencil necks couldn't carry Bart's jock strap.
Starr was the Greatest in his time, but I don’t believe this is a player we can compare to all time periods. Football is faster, players are stronger, and it’s just a different time. Not undermining his greatness in any way. I’m a fan, but we’ve come quiet a way from Super Bowl 1&2 that’s all Im saying. Say we were talking about running backs to change the subject people I believe would be great in any time period would be BO Jackson and Barry Sanders. So much Speed, strength and dominance to deny.That can’t be argued to much.
I'm a little sick of hearing this BS. Why does anyone think that players from that era would not have adjusted to the changing game and trained in the same manner as players today? It's ridiculous to make the argument that they wouldn't. If they were the best in their era, they would be just as good in any era.
If I had five quarterbacks to win a big game that was on the line my five would be Joe Montana, Aaron Rodgers, John Unitas, Joe Namath, and of course Bart Starr
Rodgers and Namath? Are you drunk? Bart Starr was 9-1 in post season games. You want a drive to win a football game? Pick Starr. Rodgers will throw dumb incompletions and blame everybody else.
Really? As much as I love Favre, how many game losers did he have? How many championships did he win? In Starr's only playoff loss, he had the offense driving for the winning TD, but they ran out of time on the Eagles' 9 yard line. Favre can't match Starr's record on the biggest stage. Not even close. One can only have a "game winner" if he was losing late in the game, so that's a very misleading stat. Favre lost a lot of big games that he was in the position to win.
Starr was as clutch as anyone if you judge greatness by winning the biggest games like I do then my top 5 of all time are brady graham starr bradshaw montana unitas layne because they won the biggest games of all and were easily the clutchest performers ever
Bart Starr was one of the greatest QB's of all time and may have been the greatest competitor in football R.I.P. my man
I get so pissed off when some people undermine Bart Starr's greatness.

Bart Starr....The guy who has the best post-season record (9-1) & passer-rating (104.8), is number EIGHT for clutch QBs of all-time? LOL. Top 3 of all-time. Easily.
AND! He was only 9 yards away from being 10-0 in the postseason and TWO threepeats.

@@jwiese100 yeah it was so easy to win it all. It's always easy to win all the time because everybody does it right?
He was great & great on 4th down. People always talked about Joe Montana and his 4 championships but before that Bart Starr had 5 of them.🏈
Great point ! Hardly anyone recognizes it .
Such an incredible player, leader, and person. It's no wonder the stadium erupts every time he comes to Lambeau.
Even in the comments here, No one mentions that he almost never threw interceptions, threw i believe 394 consecutive passes w/out an interception, played in the era when QBs called their own plays. he was a ruthless general out there. he earned Lombardi's respect and trust [how hard is that] and the totally respect of his teammates. 5 NFL championships w/in 7 years, including 3 in a row. no other QB has that in his resume. not even Brady
294 consecutive passes without an INT, not 394. A record that stood for about 20 years, if I remember correctly.
Very well said !
Starr has the best postseason passer rating and best postseason winning percentage for a QB...EVER. Should be No. 1.
