will all due respect Mr U was great but the greatest

Actually, he was. In a recent poll at NFL.com, Unitas beat out Montana by nearly 2000 votes for that title. And that was 40 years after he quit playing. But at least you didn't say Gisele's boy toy....
All modern Quarterbacks are shadows of what Unitas brought to the game. He could run or pass for Touchdowns (Two each in '59 Championship), is credited for inventing the two minute drill, and could call a game plan as well as anyone.
Four MVP Awards, two NFL Championships, and a SB ring. And EVERY known passing record at the time of his retirement. No Quarteback has matched that. Some had records, some had multiple Championships. Unitas had 'em all.
Deacon Jones once said "If it was the 4th Quarter, and you had a lead, and they had John Unitas, you were in trouble".
And Unitas could take a Hit. Once, in Chicago, a Bears lineman hit Unitas hard enough to break his nose. Brady would've cried for a Penalty Flag. and maybe even an Ambulance. Unitas got up, shoved two fingers of Soldier Field mud into his nose to stop the bleeding, and
threw the Game-Winning Touchdown on the next play.
Montana was great, and I admit I enjoyed watching him run what was BILL WALSH'S Offense. But when Johnny U. stepped into the huddle, it was Unitas' Offense and Unitas' Team.
And four decades later, he is still the Best. Ever. Just like a REOS Grand !
