Kirk Cousins-Sammy Baugh

[HRBAKER]

Kirk Cousins and Sammy Baugh in the same sentence, my how the game has changed.

We know about the interceptions and the punting, but what really has impressed me about this guy over time is that he could hit, and I've never heard anyone mention that part of his game. There's so little game film available, and of that, I've only seen a little, but I've definitely noticed a pattern. I haven't seen other QBs/Tailbacks of that era coming up to the line making plays like a linebacker, but I've seen Baugh do it multiple times. Players are usually hard to find in that grainy b&w footage, but not Baugh - it feels like he's wherever the ball is whether its offense, defense, or special teams.

He's my favorite from that era and being a Texan makes it that much better.

Great to see Sammy gets some recognition this week!

And it seemed like Bowman never made a bad card of him; especially the '50. But since it was posted, here's a '51.

Here's Sammy in some November 1944 action:

This is an awesome thread and I agree that Sammy had some of the best looking bowman cards!
