Otto Graham

My top QB in History.
This is prior to the Passing Craze so I will rate the others later, but none of them will surpass him as number 1, they can only be 1A.

10 years as a Pro QB.
He played in the championship game every year that he was the QB.
7-3 record in title games.
Overall Record. NFL 78.5% winning record. 82% overall.

Even though the NFL doesn't recognize the AAFC passing numbers he still
ranks at the top of Yards per attempt in NFL history. (Previous Blog post)

-The Browns won the first title when the leagues combined in 1950.
They lost to the Rams in 1951 and the Detroit Lions 2 times 52 and 53.
He then won in 1954 and 55 and retired.
The 4 championships they won prior to the NFL.
They teams they beat in the last two title games SF 49ers, Buffalo Bills.

His actually yards per attempt in his career is 9.0 not the 8.6 listed in the NFL records.
