Today is Y.A. Tittle's birthday. I'll bet he'd don the pads once again. He's only 93.

He looked 93 when he played.
My bad. He’s only 87.
He probably could, but the hits would kill him.........
Garcia was a poor QB who had 2 good years. The Browns aren’t that desperate yet.
They are only gone because nobody does it since the league wants high scores. They equate that to excitement which sales tickets and tv time. They think that nobody wants to watch a 17-14 game with good defense. I actually prefer them.
Don’t agree with this article in full but some general points are valid as others have alluded to, teams are hard-up for top quarterbacks. There are very few.
Wow, had no idea that Y.A. Tittle was still alive.
There is an iconic photo of him at old Pitt Stadium in a game against the Steelers, kneeling down in the end zone with blood gushing from his forehead.
Looks like he was with San Fran too.Garcia is sharp; he just got caught behind a couple of incompetent front offices at the wrong time in his career.
If anyone needs an extra comma I found a couple just lying around.
—Garcia is sharp; —
Sharp, yes. Crisp, no.
He was excellent as QB of my Calgary Stampeders once Danny Barrett helped cure him of happy feet. Probably didn’t hurt that he backed up Doug Flutie when he first came to Calgary, too.
Cheers,

I remember when Bradshaw retired and they tried to get him to come back - he said he noticed that nobody was chasing him or knocking him down in the broadcast booth.
Vince Young is available. Nobody loves washed up QBs more than Minnesota.
He should be calling the Rams. Or the Buccaneers.
