It indicates that Hadl was being shopped around, considering that it was just a couple weeks later that he was sent to L.A. I don't doubt that the Packers were at least contacted.

The Brady comparisons are apt. Both faced relatively meager expectations coming into the league, both found themselves matched with the absolute perfect coach, both have taken full advantage of QB-friendly rules, both showed a knack for ending up smelling like a rose in big games where they didn't n...

Would Charlie Leigh count? Pennsylvania Mustangs, Orlando Panthers, Philadelphia Bulldogs, Norfolk Neptunes, and then eventually the Dolphins from 1971-74.
