Fouts piloting Air Coryell were innovative, but didn't win big...they had only a few playoff appearances...

it wasn't until Bill Walsh coached Montana/Young and Rice to several Super Bowl wins in the early 80's (ty MACS) that pass first spread offenses became the mode of attack in the NFL...

league and fans loved this more exciting brand of football, so rules were slowly changed to reward the passing game and hinder defenses...

honestly, although I grew up with the run first macho defensive style 60's - 70's NFL, today's game is more entertaining and allows exceptional athletes to showcase their skills while reducing the incidence of injuries to the most valuable player on the field...yet we still see QB's like Luck retire before their time

That wasn't really the point. I'm just saying that it's a team sport. Without support, no one would ever know how good any of them are. I liked Terry, he was a personable cat. But it's not really that big a deal. Just an observation.
