Times Change

I was looking at a Sports Illustrated article about worst Super Bowl performances by quarterbacks, and came across this photo of Earl Morrall:



Now, I realize that even today quarterbacks can have much stronger arms that their physiology would indicate (look at both Mannings, for instance). But man, Morrall looks like a grandad putting on the uni for old-timers' day pictures.

Morrall was no slouch, either. He's known as the best backup QB in NFL history, and he started most of the way during the perfect '72 Miami Dolphins season. He also played until 1977, which by my guess is at least 9 years after this photo!
