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

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
