I'm sure you know, on many occasions Sonny would come in to the latter part of a game in which Bill Kilmer was losing, and turn the game around with his precise
screen passes, etc.
Jurgensen is recognized as the finest pure passer of his day. He earned three NFL individual passing titles. He exceeded 400 yards passing in a single game 5 times,
and threw 5 TD passes in a game twice. His stats include 2,433 completions for 32,224 yards and 255 TD's. Also, Sonny rushed for 493 yards and 15 TD's. His 82.6
career passer rating is the highest for any player in the NFL (prior to 1978).

If there was an underrated running back for that team during that era, it was Larry Brown.
