Ted sure he was appreciated in DC, but I think if you google lists of greatest all time running backs you aren't going to find him on many, but IMO you should.
Jurgensen, similar story. People in DC knew how great he was (except George Allen who stupidly started Billy Kilmer over him, unimaginable), but again you won't find his name mentioned now on those all time great lists. A great pure passer IMO.
PS my dad sat next to Sonny on a cross country flight once during said George Allen era. Sonny was several sheets to the wind, and what he had to say about not starting was unprintable. In public, though, to his credit, he kept quiet, and if I recall he and Kilmer actually got along quite well personally.
