Is he better than Brady ? Is he better than the legends Terry Bradshaw, Dan Marino, John Elway, Joe Montana? Who is the greatest QB of all time, or perhaps living memory?
Naturally. It's a conundrum for some fans as he never considered himself part of the Colts after 84, and after 96 was frequently doing events for the Ravens. Frankly, I don't care - I have nothing to do with the cities so I still consider him a part of the team's past!
I guess it shows how much he cared for Baltimore. You are right though it's the franchise that counts. That guy that supported the LA Raiders with his Legion of doom spiked shoulder pads, probably still flies up to Oakland.
It's particularly bitter in Baltimore because of the way the Colts left - shipped off in Mayflower vans literally overnight. Some Ravens fans still curse the late Bob Irsay for that. Of course, several years on in the collection of all the facts, it's obvious Bob had no choice but to move his team, otherwise the council would take them away from him etc etc. Doesn't mean it was any easier for Baltimore's fans.
Did you ever see the documentary about the Baltimore Colts band? I think they got prior warning and hid their uniforms and instruments somewhere.
