I hummed the soaring music while watching, does that count? <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />Seriously, yes he was surrounded by a great team and had the benefit of a great coach. But along with many other great attributes, Starr was incredibly mentally tough. He called the plays; he was Lombardi on the field. He was the one who called those long bombs on third and short. I’m not sure how other QBs would have been able to cope with Lombardi’s domineering personality. The bigger the game, the more he protected the football. The bigger the game the more clutch he was. The winning drive of the Ice Bowl was a great example of his leadership. In addition to the “ball-busting cold”, he didn’t have all of his weapons for that game – it was the end of the Lombardi era. With everything at stake, he led them down the field and in those conditions, didn’t fumble and didn’t throw an incompletion, let alone an INT.If you haven't read the link to the CHFF article, check it out. It's very analytical, no music at all unless you hum:</blockquote>
