Hmm, didn't realize Len was another member of the Pittsburgh Steelers school of QB's who never made it with the Steelers.
In a 3 year span the Steelers had Johnny Unitas, Len Dawson, Jack Kemp and Earl Morrall on their team. Instead they chose to go with Ted Marchibroda and an aging Bobby Layne. |

Montana and Young.

I'm from 49er country, but I got to take Unitas, Dawson, Layne, Kemp and Morall above the two of them.
What's nuts is how good Steve Young's career ended up being even with him being hampered by spending time in the USFL, and 4 years as Montana's backup with 3 or less starts each year. Still one of the NFL's best ever even losing all that playing time. |

Football statistics are a lot harder than Baseball to relate cross era. Unitas was the best of his, Montana the best of his. My bias is towards Montana and Young. Young's era I'd have to take a deep look into the math, the 90's were really stacked at QB.

I think he's 10th or 11th all time on one of those Football Reference combined metrics, but I'm not sure metrics are as good in football as in other sports there are so many intangibles particularly at that position.

It's certainly the greatest concentration of QB talent on a team that made very little use of them.

That 68 Topps Len Dawson is my favorite card of his. Absolutely gorgeous card.

Here is a merge of KNEW audio with several sources of what video exists of the 1969 AFL Championship game, between the Kansas City Chiefs vs the Oakland Raiders. If the Jets of Super Bowl III was a fluke, this Chiefs team that beat a real good Raiders team and then walked the floor with the Vikings in Super Bowl IV convinced even the naysayers of how good the AFL truly was. Len Dawson didn't have his greatest day here, but more than good enough.
