Sammy Baugh
Sammy Baugh, often known as “Slingin’ Sammy,” emerged as one of the NFL’s early stars, paving the way for future quarterbacks who could dominate a game. He spent his whole career with the Washington Redskins, winning two NFL titles prior to the Super Bowl era. During his 16 seasons, Baugh topped the league in completion % eight times and passer rating six times, a feat that currently remains as a record. With six first-team All-Pro accolades, Baugh’s remarkable style set him apart from other quarterbacks. Despite finishing his career with more interceptions than touchdowns, his enormous impact on the game earned him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s inaugural class.

Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers is the most careful ball-handler in NFL history, with the best career passer rating and interception %. However, his lack of interceptions does not indicate a conservative playing style. Since 2008, Rodgers has consistently passed for over 3,800 yards in ten seasons while starting at least 15 games. In his prime, he is ranked tenth all-time in completion percentage and thirteenth in throwing yards. Despite not having the benefit of playing on many excellent teams, resulting in only one Super Bowl triumph and a 10-8 postseason record, Rodgers rarely accepts blame for his team’s losses.
