I think Paige's effort with quarterbacks was accurate - at least he mentioned Otto Graham and appropriately tagged Unitas as simply legendary for no particular reason. As a kid, the name 'Johnny Unitas' really was legendary to us, and Paige is my age. Same situation with Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. I had baseball card stats memorized, so I never got why Hank Aaron wasn't right there with Mays and Mantle as far as popularity. Plus, I loved his stance where the barrel of the bat was pointed right at the pitcher - he must have had the strongest wrists in baseball.
