- I completely re-made the highlight video I did from last year for Johnny Unitas. Unitas was a prolific passer and a master of the two minute drill. Helped propel the NFL to America's favorite sport with his performance in the 1958 NFL Championship Game. Threw for over 40,000 yards, 290 touchdowns. Was also a 5x All Pro, 10x Pro Bowler, 3x NFL MVP, and 3x NFL/Super Bowl Champion.
He called his own plays and invented the modern qb position the 2min drill he had it all quick drop back and quick release truly the master.
The reality is that GOAT discussions for football are just asinine. More or less every 10-20 years or so the league radically changes the rules and makes it impossible to truly compare. But Unitas was the best of his time, and everyone spent the next 20 years learning to play qb by watching him.
The real Johnny Football!
They don’t show any of his play action skills….people comparing love to him…which is awesome
Video a reminder not only of the greatness of Johnny U, but also of teammates John Mackey, Lenny Moore and Raymond Berry.
Johnny U ! Back when football was football.
It's not an over statement to say it was a different game in the 60s and 70s. Even the 80s and 90s were different than today but not as much so as the 60s and 70s. Elite QBs back then were warriors and considering the rules that limited the passing game, all the more impressive. Unitas, Graham, Starr, Namath, Bradshaw, Staubach, Tarkenton and Stabler.
Just ask John Mackey a hall of fame tight end. "Being in the huddle with Johnny Unitas was like being in the huddle with god." He revolutionized football and the quarterback position. He is the model all quarterbacks are measured. My favorite thing is seeing his highlights, he actually threw no look passes and switched to sidearm throws too. He is the GOAT.
Truly the GOAT. The TEMPLATE.
Watching Unitas and Jurgensen in the same era was a wonderful sight to behold!
And Tarkenton
Was working in a pub at Deep Creek Lake in W Maryland when he died...everyone who came that day in seemed to have a story about a time when they had met Johnny, and what a great guy he was...one of a kind, there will never be another...so so lucky to have grown up in Baltimore during the glory days of the late 50s-early 70s...
If Johnny Unitas doesn’t make your top 5 you need your head examined. His arm, leadership abilities, and cool under pressure attitude put him on top in an era when QBs/WRs weren’t protected and coddled like today.
I think he would have been a great QB even these days... Amazing...
Edit: oh, yeah, and the pump fake.... *chef's kiss* Perfection
With the rules today to protect the quarterback it would be a joke Johnny would never ever lost a game the rules today or a joke compared to what he had to put up with
Johnny Unitas was known as Johnny U or The Golden Arm! He was the greatest quarterbacks of all time in his era. He was a prototype quarterback who was a great pocket passer.
0:29 one of my favorite all time NFL highlights. The throw, the leaping grab, the fan swarm. Just perfect. Before Kurt Warner...it was Unitas as the working class out of nowhere hero
When I was a kid the call, "Unitas to Berry" was heard most often. This video should be called Unitas to Mackey. The precision of his passes with two or three defenders on the receiver is still amazing.
Just a great, great quarterback. In his prime no one was better, not yesterday, not today.
I miss that football
What a beautiful motion. Great technique as well.
Cuts it loose everytime 💯😉
John Unitas Number 1 then and Number 1 now!
With all the new passing rules they have now. Unitas would flourish in today's game.
Very informative. Laid the blueprint for the pass happy AFL and beyond. A true pioneer, I heard he was traumatized when the Colts snuck out of town in the middle of the night. A great player beloved by fans and teammates alike
Todays QBs could not work 5 days a week at the mill and be this good at football
Let Johnny Unite us.
Still the best in two catagories:
Toughness
Leadership
Also the only QB with his own theme song Unitas we Stand 7:34.
The Best Ever!!
THE ORIGINAL!
SUPER JOB with editing this video!
Johnny Unitas was the Tom Brady before Tom Brady because Unitas was a late draft pick but he became one of the greatest quarterback of all time just like Brady did.
❤❤❤❤❤
Real quarter back
35 a goat with the one hander
Cool describes him best
If Joe Montana was Tom Brady before Tom Brady, Johnny Unitas was Peyton Manning before Peyton Manning. That would be my quarterback Mount Rushmore.
Manning before Manning
Just like Montana was Brady before Brady.
THKS! Tape might be ackey-dakey,But as long as its got 19 , COOL!
Just think about today if a qb calls own plays and doesn't need OC would be so great with less worry
Was a great video
Could’ve done without that last song, but otherwise outstanding video
Heaven 19….Baltimore 0…..
Greatest QB ALL TIME
What if passes which are caught behind the line of scrimmage were counted as rushing yards? Or maybe if run-after-catch yardage was counted as rushing yards? 🤔
He didn't have to cheat to win either.
A combination of Peyton Manning and Tim Brady. But in the 50’s.
Super tough player
John would get all liquored up the night before a game and then still come out and perform and lead the colts to victory
.he'd polish off a fifth of whiskey and a bunch of beers and still play well
No chance. Unitas drank only beer in those days.
@@thehaughtcorner but John could really slam the brewskis
How these guys were to perform on the field at a high level after being hung over constantly attests to their athletic abilities
Your audio is out of sync
No, that was intentional
@@dukewilson14 Sorry Duke appreciate your efforts. It doesn't make sense to have a video with sound out of sync. i will just turn the volume down.Thanks
He’s still the only QB that could lobb the ball so high,and it come down right in the receiver’s arms.
