You're right ... I did forgot to consider the 70's.  Let me revise:

If I had to vote now, I think I'd take a coin and put Joe Montana's face on one side and Tom Brady's on the other, and Jim Plunkett's face on the other other ... and flip it.  I couldn't go wrong.

BTW, in the sub-argument that we were previously having of Peyton vs. Brady, I feel like I could tie it to golf fairly well.  Like majors, the pinnacle of the sport is the Super Bowl, but everything else also matters.  In fact, somewhat unlike golf, you could argue that everything else (stats) matters quite a bit more due to the nature of it being a team sport.  So you can't say 4>1 and wipe your hands clean, but you certainly can say that 4 + slightly less in the regular season stats department > 1 + slightly more in the regular season stats department.

No offense, but I think even Jim Plunkett's high school yearbook picture was afraid to display Jim Plunkett's face on it :-D

LOL.  No offense taken because I was just making a silly joke at Erik's expense. :)

Me too... Sometimes I just can't help myself (though this one was at Plunkett's expense. I'm sure he's heard worse!)

I liked Plunkett, but he was the only player I remember whose face seemed to stick way out of the helmet!

As opposed to Hauschka (Seahawk's kicker), who wears his helmet so far down on his forehead that he looks like Robocop.

I miss the days (not really) when the kickers andn some of the QBs used to just wear that tiny single bar facemask. :-P

    • Day 2 (20 Jan 26) - Similar work as yesterday - started with lead hand solo drills with the 50°, followed by series of pitches and chips utilizing full setup. 
    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
