I had suppressed him from my memory. Cutler was bad enough, but Grossman... jeez.

I knew all of them except the Charger QB. I would have gone the rest of my life and never remembered him. By far the most obscure person on the list.

Earl Morrell was the Colts QB in Super Bowl III? What about Johnny Unitas?

What about him? He didn't start the game. Earl Morrall did.

Unitas was injured in preseason and was on the bench most of the year. Morrall was the backup who then started in his place. Unitas did play in SBIII, but Morrall was the starter and therefore the loser. Morrall was also the MVP.
