00:01Good.
00:02Let's go, Gunslinger.
00:06We're counting down the top ten gunslingers of all time.
00:10Let's start by looking at the criteria.
00:13You could just picture him in Montana, just throwing a football at a bear.
00:16He would always cuss like a sailor.
00:19Quit your bitchin'!
00:20Every gunslinger has got to have a bazooka for an arm.
00:23Fine qualities, but we think a gunslinger is a guy who likes to go deep
00:27and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
00:29It's only during the time you got that gunslinger that you feel alive.
00:33You talk about championship courage!
00:35He'll go off script.
00:37You know these guys that are dropping back and got the ball out to the side
00:40and you don't know where it's going to go.
00:42He is going to be unpredictable.
00:55Well yeah, that's because he was a gunslinger.
00:57He's in the moment.
00:59There's some greatness to that and there have been some letdowns because of that.
01:02He didn't think it could get any more ugly.
01:05Enough of the letdowns.
01:06It's time for the countdown.
01:08The number one gunslinger.
01:11Hmm.
01:12Who's number ten?
01:13I hope you don't have Joe Namath on there.
01:16Cool your chest.
01:18The number ten gunslinger of all time.
01:20Joe Namath.
01:21He actually belongs higher on the list.
01:24Who doesn't love Joe Namath?
01:25Probably Joe.
01:26Joe Willie Namath.
01:27Yeah, sure.
01:28You look at Joe Namath's stats.
01:30They were very good in his career stats.
01:31There were just as many touchdowns as interceptions.
01:34Well, you can't please everybody.
01:36No, we actually do.
01:37He may have been inconsistent.
01:38But numbers alone don't make him our number ten gunslinger.
01:42I think he had a gunslinger swagger.
01:45Had nothing to do with his arm.
01:47It had to do with what he did in the bars at night.
01:49He was dating Anne Margaret.
01:51He was dating Raquel Welch in things his own way.
01:53Fur coats on the sidelines.
01:55Not only the sports icon, but cultural icon.
01:58The New York Jets under the command of Lord Fu Manchu Joe Namath
02:01were in the Oakland Coliseum.
02:03Joe's gunslinger persona was enhanced by Joe the off-field entity.
02:09Okay, yeah.
02:12It seems almost un-American to me for a bachelor not to, you know,
02:16go around having a drink with a lady now and then.
02:18Some people don't like it.
02:23Look at that shot.
02:25You know, he was the prettiest passer that I've ever seen.
02:31He had as much ability as any quarterback that ever stood on a football field.
02:36He lit us up.
02:37This is a guy who's all about throwing the football.
02:40I feel I can throw as well or better than anybody.
02:43Broke me a man.
02:45My son.
02:59He's a gunslinger.
03:00What an arm.
03:01What a rocket.
03:03What a passer.
03:05Namath was the first quarterback to pass for over 4,000 yards in a single season.
03:10His brilliant passing helped lead the Jets to a jump with the heavily favored Colts in Super Bowl 3.
03:1818, 19 point underdog against the Baltimore Colts.
03:21And say you're going to win?
03:23Well, yeah.
03:24That's because he was a gunslinger.
03:25Broadway Joe to guarantee.
03:28We're bringing up Unitas and his film of him.
03:33He didn't play in that.
03:34He barely played in that game.
03:36And when he did, he even scored more points than the Jets scored while he was in the game.
03:45Joe Namath didn't beat Johnny Unitas.
03:47He beat Earl Marvel.
03:53Well, I got some news for you, buddy.
03:55We're going to win the game.
03:55I guarantee it.
03:57We're going to win the game.
03:58I guarantee it.
03:59We're going to win the game.
03:59That's swagger.
03:59That's a gunslinger.
04:00He said the Jets are going to win.
04:02In fact, he doesn't even predict it.
04:04He said, I guarantee.
04:07The New York Jets are the world champions in a stunning upset.
04:11It was just, yes.
04:14Yes.
04:15Yes.
04:16Oh, it was great.
04:17You know, it's a hell of a loss for those folks who picked us the other way.
04:23Tina and Mary may love Joe Namath, but they were not the only people at Chase Stadium
04:29with at least a crush on him.
04:32Namath's swagger and pure guts made him our number 10 gunslinger.
04:37He could run, but he got his legs torn up.
04:41His career would have been magnificent if he hadn't been healthy.
04:45He just wasn't.
04:46Joe was one of the best.
04:47The only problem Joe had was his legs.
04:49Maybe the gutsiest guy on the field, this guy could barely walk.
04:53Yeah, he went out there every day and played his heart out.
04:55I'm just trying to get along.
04:57You know, just...
04:59Just trying to get by.
05:00Oh, my God.
05:01He was the man.
05:02Joe Willie.
05:03Love him.
05:03He's a gunslinger.
05:06Coming up, which shooting star shot the moon and made our list?
05:11A classic gunslinger.
05:14I don't even know how big Ben got the ball to San Antonio Holtz.
05:20They did all win the big one, as did the next gunslinger on our list.
05:26The number nine gunslinger of all time, Kurt Warner.
05:31Anybody who can work at a grocery store stocking shelves one day and play in the Super Bowl the next,
05:37you gotta call him a gunslinger.
05:38Kurt Warner is number nine on our list.
05:41Not bad for a quarterback who almost didn't get a shot in the NFL.
05:45The Rams are Super Bowl bound.
05:47He has had the most unusual career I've ever seen.
05:50He goes from scout team player of the year in 1998 to the NFL player of the year in 1999.
05:57That is a touchdown pass number 40 for Kurt Warner.
06:01This shows you most people don't know how to judge a quarterback.
06:04They really don't.
06:05That shows you how many people don't know what they don't know.
06:07I never wrote him on.
06:08Have a good one.
06:08Just hang it in yourself.
06:12We got Trent Green down in the middle of the field.
06:14Kurt Warner checks in.
06:16Kurt Warner was the backup.
06:17He had no choice but to play him.
06:18We will rally around Kurt Warner, and we'll play good football.
06:22What a pass by Kurt Warner, the first quarterback in NFL history with three touchdown passes.
06:27In each of his first three starts.
06:29He has that year.
06:31The single greatest year that a quarterback has ever had.
06:34Would that look too bad?
06:35What?
06:36That year was the greatest single performance by any professional football player.
06:42Now in the 40 touchdown pass club, there's Dan Marino and there's Kurt Warner.
06:47Unbelievable.
06:48Especially when you say it was his first year.
06:50Warner back to throw.
06:52Rainbows the far sideline.
06:53And it is caught by Isaac Gross.
06:55And they will fit in today.
06:58The St. Louis Rams are the world champions.
07:01I love you, Kurt.
07:02I love you too.
07:03You're the team.
07:05You are special.
07:10He's had a great career as a gunslinger.
07:12I've always had mixed emotions about Kurt Warner's career.
07:15What an awful decision.
07:17Wow.
07:18The situations he's been in have made Kurt to be a gunslinger.
07:21Bruce goes in motion to the right side.
07:23Warner puffs for him.
07:24Pass him at the goal line.
07:25Touchdown.
07:25He's always had great receivers called the Torrey Holt.
07:28Torrey Holt.
07:29Touchdown Rams.
07:31Isaac Cruz.
07:32Touchdown Isaac Cruz.
07:34Now Larry Fitzgerald.
07:35He's in double coverage.
07:36It doesn't matter.
07:36He caught it anyway.
07:38And caught in boldly.
07:39And caught in boldly.
07:39Make a five yard throw and let the court run the football.
07:44You like to think that somebody could have thrown you in any offense and you would have
07:48had just as much success.
07:50Oh, what a throw by brave here, Kurt Warner.
07:54He's been incredibly blessed for having great receivers, but they've been incredibly blessed
07:58for being able to play with a quarterback like him.
08:01Gonna throw a fade right side.
08:02Fits down.
08:03He got it.
08:04Maybe he's the number one gunslinger in this era without question.
08:11He loves that idea of being a gunslinger.
08:14And he fits the gunslinger mode with just how he walks and carries himself.
08:18Greybeard says, I'm just gonna chuck this thing.
08:21You know, he kind of walks around like he just got off a horse.
08:23He's kind of got this gait to him.
08:25Kind of a Western cowboy.
08:26And like any good cowboy, once he fell off his horse, he got right back on and rode again.
08:33Nobody else believed in me.
08:35You guys did.
08:36And we're going to the Super Bowl.
08:38The Cardinals have shot the world.
08:40It wasn't like he took the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team with a great history.
08:44to the Super Bowl.
08:45He took the Arizona Cardinals.
08:47Exactly.
08:47And he may as well have taken Slippery Rock College to the Super Bowl
08:50because they weren't going to get there either.
08:52He's got the three most prolific passing games in the history of the Super Bowl.
08:55You've gotta be kidding me!
08:58He still has three of the top six.
09:01Yeah, I think so.
09:02I think he's totally deserves to be on this list.
09:04Maybe even higher.
09:09You're of all time.
09:10Warren Moon.
09:13Warren Moon, I don't see as much as a gunslinger.
09:16Warren Moon has to be considered in that list.
09:18Yeah, no.
09:19Just in the terms that I look at it, you know, as a gunslinger, no.
09:22I think that's right about where he belongs.
09:25There's a guy who threw for 35 miles over the course of his career.
09:29It's a career that spanned over 20 years and two different leagues.
09:33He's thrown for more yards as a professional football player than any quarterback.
09:36Moon back to pass.
09:38Drawing for Tony Jones.
09:40Touchdown!
09:40No one would ever understand how great this guy was.
09:44I think the legend just grew.
09:46He was pretty much screwed in coming to the National Football League.
09:49Warren Moon was a guy that had to go to Canada to win five straight Grey Cups
09:53before he got a chance to play.
09:55Warren looks and loves it.
09:57Got it completely!
09:58The time that he had to spend in the Canadian Football League
10:01was kind of wasted years.
10:02When he came in, there were a lot of coaches, scouts, general managers
10:05who thought, you can't play quarterback in this league.
10:07We'll make you a wide receiver.
10:08I don't want you to think I can play this position.
10:11You guys are going to switch my brother to a receiver.
10:15It was just pretty much a foregone conclusion
10:17that quarterback was not in my future in the National Football League,
10:21but changing positions was.
10:23He was rowing upstream for a long time
10:25before finally he had people in his boat rowing in the same direction.
10:29His first three years, the Oilers, they were terrible.
10:31That's stupid football. I don't want them hit.
10:34So the time they got good in 1987,
10:37he'd already played eight years of professional football.
10:4010, 10 seasons.
10:42Running shoot made him a gunslinger.
10:44Compile all kinds of guard statistics.
10:46The Houston Oilers have fun.
10:47He threw a lot of touchdowns and a lot of interceptions.
10:51That's a gunslinger.
10:53Lot of yards, gunslinger.
10:54He finally found an offense for Warren Moon.
10:57It's called the Run and Shoot.
10:59The Run and Shoot offense with Warren Moon
11:01just slinging the ball all over.
11:03How can anybody argue he's not a gunslinger?
11:11So...
11:11...high-flying receivers from anywhere on the field.
11:16And he always seems to be quick on the draw.
11:19I think their offense was as prolific as any in the NFL.
11:23Moon to throw for the shotgun.
11:24Deep down the middle for Jeffries.
11:26He's down at the 30.
11:27He is going to score!
11:28There might not have been a better, pure passer than Warren Moon.
11:33Moon, looking deep down the middle.
11:35And the man, touchdown!
11:37Warren!
11:38Warren Moon threw as pretty a pass as you'll ever see.
11:42Another perfect pass by Warren Moon.
11:45Warren Moon had the spiral that just screwed right into a receiver's hands.
11:48You don't see many guys bobbling his pass.
11:50Back goes Warren Moon.
11:52Touchdown!
11:53I like it!
11:54Yeah, cause if you didn't get it right, you broke your fingers.
11:59He threw the football.
12:01He had a game in 1990, Kansas City, in the rain, in the cold,
12:06in which he threw for the second-most yards in history.
12:09Some days you wake up and it's just your day!
12:11Warren Moon came out and threw the ball for 585 yards or something against us.
12:16Back to Bass Moon, looks right, looks left, he's hit!
12:19He breaks the tickle through the middle!
12:21That was broadcasting that game.
12:22It was amazing how well he did.
12:25The fact was, I looked on defense for Kansas City.
12:28They had 6 guys of the 11 people out there that have gone to the Pro Bowl.
12:31I haven't seen a performance like this in a long, long time.
12:35And believe me, this is against a pretty good team.
12:38I called Sid Gilman and he watched that game and he told me
12:41it was the greatest performance he'd ever seen a quarterback had.
12:45That's why he's in the Hall of Fame.
12:46He was one of the great passers ever.
12:48And I think he deserves a place in our top 10.
12:51Coming up...
12:53Not everyone's happy about the list.
12:56There it is.
12:58Here of all time, Daryl LaMonica.
13:01The Mad Dog.
13:027 is Daryl LaMonica.
13:04Why?
13:05Gunslinger. Daryl LaMonica?
13:08Next.
13:09Daryl LaMonica's on the list of the top 10 gunslingers?
13:12Holy cow!
13:13That shows you how many people don't know what they don't know.
13:15Yes, he was a gunslinger.
13:17He could throw it.
13:18And he could sling it.
13:19I love Daryl LaMonica.
13:20He was awesome.
13:21In the 60s and early 70s, Daryl LaMonica earned his reputation as our number 7 gunslinger.
13:28But his nickname is second to none.
13:30Daryl LaMonica was the Mad Bomber.
13:32The Mad Bomber.
13:33He was a Mad Bomber.
13:34The Mad Bomber.
13:34The Mad Bomber.
13:35The Mad Bomber.
13:36The Mad Bomber.
13:37The Mad Bomber.
13:39Fit him perfectly.
13:40Great nickname.
13:41The Meticulously designed Oakland offense then began its precision bombing of Boston's defense.
13:49Gunslinger?
13:50For sure.
13:51Exactly.
13:55Homed in Buffalo, uh, behind Jack Kemp.
13:59Daryl LaMonica, a rookie from Notre Dame, has replaced the injured Jack Kemp.
14:03Buffalo threw it.
14:07Whoops.
14:08They did.
14:08After four seasons, Buffalo defused the Mad Bomber.
14:13Daryl was clearly a guy that wanted to throw the ball.
14:15He was traded to the Raiders.
14:16It was the perfect situation for them.
14:18Al Davis has always believed in the vertical offense.
14:22Al Davis was at his absolute innovative best at that point.
14:26He lost.
14:27He throws one for Melendikoff.
14:29A fine catch at the 15.
14:30He's creamed at the 46-yard line of the chase.
14:32He was such a good fit for Al Davis that I think Al never got over Daryl LaMonica.
14:37Throw it anywhere, at any time.
14:39But he throws.
14:40He's down right.
14:40Don't be afraid to throw it.
14:42A brilliant waker right by the master of his position.
14:45It was a different era.
14:46I mean, that kind of game would never work today unless you had Mike Marth as your coach.
14:50He loved it.
14:51He loved going deep.
14:52Daryl LaMonica was nuts.
14:54He loved to throw it long.
14:55It was from the watch.
14:56Defenses would have to open up and respect the deep threat.
15:02Buffalo learned the hard way.
15:06If your name is the Mad Bomber, you pretty much have license.
15:11Maybe Buffalo should have known how Daryl LaMonica played for them.
15:20Well...
15:20...since to drop back seven steps and chuck that puppy up.
15:25The first thing he would say,
15:27Well, I love him because we're getting ready to go deep.
15:29The first play, it was a bomb.
15:31The second play, a bomb.
15:32The third play, a bomb.
15:34Anything that was under like 25 yards was an insult to his arm.
15:38Oakland's receivers were tailor-made for LaMonica's talents.
15:42LaMonica would drop back.
15:44And so many times, he'd just throw it deep.
15:46And Wells would run under him.
15:48They had Warren Wells and their LaMonica.
15:51Forget about it.
15:52LaMonica's back.
15:53And look, he's trying to beat four rounds in traffic.
15:56It's about to run.
15:57Wells catches the ball.
15:59The receivers, he had Wells, Bolivnikov, Art Powell.
16:04It's unfair.
16:05It's almost unfair.
16:10LaMonica won more than 78% of his games as a starter.
16:14Only Otto Graham has done better.
16:16But LaMonica's basic game plan fell apart as defenses became more complex.
16:21He just couldn't get it.
16:24He fell apart when he played the set.
16:26Those zones drove him crazy.
16:28When he threw an interception, that's his weakness.
16:31He didn't read the playwright in the defense.
16:34This maverick is hardly a unanimous choice for our number seven gunslinger of all time.
16:40Holy cow.
16:42Oh my god.
16:45How can anybody even doubt he's on the list?
16:50Over one-third of his touchdowns were over 30 yards.
16:55Over one-fifth of his touchdowns were over 40.
16:59Over one-eighth of them were over 50.
17:03What do you call that?
17:05Number six gunslinger of all time, Jim Kelly.
17:13All time, Jim Kelly.
17:17Well, literally, he was a gunslinger, right?
17:19He was, was he, or was he a Houston gambler?
17:22I don't know.
17:23The Houston gunslingers.
17:24Wasn't the team the Houston gunslingers?
17:27Houston gamblers.
17:28Houston gamblers.
17:28Okay, okay.
17:29Jim Kelly's days in the USFL were not played as a gunslinger,
17:33but he finds himself sixth on our list,
17:36and there are some who think his days in the NFL weren't played as a gunslinger either.
17:41I love Jim Kelly, but no, he doesn't do it.
17:46Kelly so belonged on this list and thrilled he's there.
17:49I don't think you can say he's a gunslinger.
17:50Do you make a list of gunslinging QBs without Jim Kelly?
17:54Oh yeah, definitely.
17:56That's an old receiver.
17:57Where Kelly played, not as much.
18:01You can't be a gunslinger in Buffalo.
18:05I mean, Josh Allen probably, probably could.
18:09But you get his ranking as how he played.
18:12In Buffalo, the weather's obviously an issue,
18:14and it's a crazy, windy, nuts stadium.
18:17Good afternoon, number one.
18:18Well, a windswept Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, New York,
18:22who wins this afternoon at 40 to 50 miles per hour.
18:27It goes long down to the...
18:39Remember in Buffalo?
18:41Gunslinger, baby.
18:47It's Jim Kelly playing in a dome in the Super Bowl against the Redskins.
18:52Huddled offense and the K-Gun as it was called.
18:55Our number six gunslinger was at his best as the trigger man for the K-Gun.
19:02Touchdown, Andre Reid!
19:04I don't know if you're ever going to see anything quite like what Jim Kelly and the Bills had going
19:08at that time.
19:09They were one of the first teams to go spread.
19:11No huddle.
19:11In the no huddle offense, Kelly to throw again.
19:14He throws long this time, and it is caught!
19:18He's on his way for a touchdown!
19:19My goodness gracious, he had Lofton on one side, Andre Reid on the other.
19:24He loved to get Thurman Thomas involved in the passing game.
19:28I know the Raiders can shoot through the no huddle offense saying that they've seen it before, but they've never
19:33seen it the way the Bills run it.
19:35Everybody used it in the two-minute drill, the no huddle.
19:38But Buffalo started to use it in the early parts of the game.
19:42Kelly goes back to throw, looks down field, wants to go long, throws down there, Reid's got a touchdown!
19:49It was balls to the wall. I mean, they kept the accelerator down.
19:53What a great throw!
19:55He was perfect for this offense.
19:57Jim does everything quickly.
19:59If you've ever had a meal with Jim Kelly, he devours it in seconds.
20:03They just put the ball in his hands and say, Jim, work your magic.
20:09It's only during the time when you got that gunslinger that you feel alive.
20:13The rest of your time as an NFL fan, you're kind of watching like this.
20:17You know, because you're like, it's going to go bad, and it doesn't.
20:20When Kelly was in the game for the Bills, I always believed we were going to win.
20:24I always believed we had a chance, because he emanated that.
20:26That's a gunslinger.
20:28Coming up, which gunslinger?
20:30And now...
20:36Oh, my God.
20:39Gunslinger.
20:39The winner of all time.
20:41Played insane.
20:43Not high enough.
20:45Not high enough.
20:47He was the original gunslinger.
20:49Sammy Baugh, I wouldn't call a gunslinger.
20:51He played like a gunslinger.
20:52He was confident.
20:53He loved putting the ball up in the air.
20:54And that was what he did so well, so effectively.
20:57From the late 30s to the early 50s, Sammy Baugh revolutionized the game of football,
21:02making the forward pass come in place.
21:04And this helped make him our number five gunslinger.
21:08Slinging Sammy Baugh winds things up as he puts the game on ice with a special delivery
21:13to Left Sky for the Eastern title.
21:16The first gunslinger.
21:19The ball was so big and oddly shaped at that time, but he had big hands.
21:24It enabled him to throw the ball where a lot of the quarterbacks couldn't throw very accurately.
21:28But in 1945, he completed 70% of his passes.
21:31So if he was a gunslinger, he was a good one.
21:34He was from Texas and he wore the big hat.
21:36So image wise, it kind of was a fit.
21:39To this day, I don't like a big city.
21:42I would never be happy in a big city.
21:44I don't care if they'd give me the whole damn city.
21:47I wouldn't like it.
21:49Every highlight you see of Sammy Baugh looks like a 65-yard touchdown pass.
21:53That would count as a gunslinger I would think.
21:56Slinging Sammy Baugh.
21:57One of the greatest living quarterbacks of all time by the Associated Press poll.
22:01Every time he throws a football, completes a pass, gains a yard, scores a touchdown.
22:07Baugh sets the world record.
22:12I can't imagine what football would be like if it had Sammy Baugh in it today.
22:18I don't want to walk out in the yard and take a leak.
22:20I don't want to walk out in the yard and take a leak.
22:22Some agent and marketing person would have tried to refine him and polish him up.
22:27Get away!
22:28Get away!
22:30At that time, we didn't have any mask on or anything, you know?
22:34I told him not block him, just let him come alive.
22:37Threw the ball and hit him right there on the right head here.
22:40Went across his forehead and I guess it shut off the blood or something.
22:45Anyway, he stood there with me and just fell flat on his...
22:47I felt I'd killed him.
22:49He said, I'd like to see one of these little SOBs today have to play like that.
22:54In 1943, Baugh led the Lincoln punting and interceptions as a DB.
23:03But it was his arm and swagger which made him our number 5 gunslinger.
23:08You gotta feel like you're the best son of the bitches out there.
23:12I mean, that is gunslinger right there.
23:14He might be one of the five greatest players in NFL history.
23:20The number 4 gunslinger of all time, Dan Fouts.
23:24Yeah, sir.
23:28Dan Fouts is a gunslinger.
23:30You're gonna see his numbers in your gunslinger.
23:32Dan Fouts was a gunslinger.
23:33Our number 4 top gunslinger of all time was a wild man with a wild beard.
23:40You could just picture him in Wyoming just throwing the football at a bear trying to knock the bear down.
23:45He probably could.
23:47Defense has had a bear of a time stopping Fouts as he was a master at running the innovative offense
23:52of Coach Don Correale.
23:58Dan Fouts was the perfect quarterback for Don Correale.
24:02On behalf of Air Correale and your pilot, Dan Fouts, welcome to San Diego.
24:07Bone left, Leo on white. Ready?
24:09Air Correale is phenomenal.
24:11He was at the forefront of change in the NFL with his passing game.
24:14The first thing in the Air Correale offense is the bomb.
24:19We played the Chargers.
24:21That was one of the few games that I got up off the bench to watch the other team's offense
24:26play.
24:28Fouts to the quarterback. Fires up down for the touchdown.
24:30I think I understood you.
24:32Is that what you wanted? A touchdown?
24:34Dan Fouts, the classic gunslinger, made it all happen.
24:41Eric Correale was as fun to watch as any offense there was.
24:46The most beautiful passing offense that we'd ever seen to that point.
24:51We still got time-o!
24:52Picture a Chargers game and balls are in the air, right?
24:57The game plan was pass, pass, pass.
25:02He thought his arm was going to fall off.
25:04They weren't even going to try to run the ball.
25:09San Diego's lack of D often led to a lack of W's and no Super Bowls for Fouts.
25:15I didn't watch a whole lot of defense growing up in San Diego.
25:19They would score 51, but other teams would score 52.
25:24You can't win that game.
25:29Dan Fouts is a gunslinger because of his attitude and swagger.
25:35Get the son of a f*** out of here.
25:37That's off the record, fellas.
25:39He's just had so much confidence.
25:41I look at a Dan Fouts and I see an incredibly confident quarterback.
25:48Hey, man!
25:49Oh, that's good now!
25:51That's one of those got to be careless.
25:53They got to be leaders.
25:54Come on, run out of the brakes now!
25:56You run out of the brakes.
25:57I'm running out of the brakes!
25:58Tippy-toe like a m***h!
26:00You're looking for another damn turn here!
26:02I'm a m***h!
26:03And you're out of here!
26:04You're out of here!
26:05I feel a little bit embarrassed looking back on it
26:07and hearing these stories about what a tough SOB
26:11I might have been in the huddle at times.
26:13Oh, quit your b***h in!
26:20Our number four gunslinger threw for over 43,000 yards on his way to the Hall of Fame.
26:29It was just fun to watch.
26:31The numbers are right there.
26:32I mean, you look at the guy's career stats.
26:33They're pretty impressive.
26:35Dan Fouts was a great, great throw at the football.
26:37How about that?
26:433 sure was it.
26:48The number three gunslinger of all time, Sonny Jergensen.
26:53Aw, man.
26:54Sonny!
26:54He just passed.
26:55Sonny Jergensen.
26:56Oh, yeah.
26:58Sonny was a beauty.
27:00Sonny Jergensen's pretty passes from the early 60s to the mid 70s
27:04took him all the way to the Hall of Fame.
27:07Gunslinger.
27:07Sonny Jergensen was marvelous.
27:09Not only was a quintessential gunslinger quarterback,
27:12but he was maybe the best pure passer in the modern game.
27:15And now, let's watch the Philadelphia Eagles of 1961.
27:19It's a film.
27:20Sonny Jergensen has set a new NFL record for touchdown passes.
27:23Sonny has now set a new NFL record for pass completions and passing yardage in a single season.
27:29NFL record.
27:33Sonny was traded to Washington, where Redskins fans got a glimpse at a gunslinger who could riddle defenses with perfect
27:41bullets.
27:41Great pass for the football.
27:43Sonny Jergensen.
27:44I think of Sonny Jergensen and I think of 400-yard football games.
27:47It's a touchdown.
27:48Let's get touchdown.
27:49Yep.
27:49I've never seen anything like it.
27:51That was fantastic.
27:53He was accurate.
27:54He was so accurate.
27:55Accuracy.
27:56He could throw the ball accurately.
27:58He was such an accurate passer, impossible to defend.
28:02This legendary gunslinger ran an offense masterminded by another quarterback icon.
28:08I think our attack, our passing attack is very explosive because we have as good a passer as there is
28:15in the league.
28:17This is one of the records.
28:19And this is the man with the quickest release in football.
28:22Christian Adolph Sonny Jergensen is a quarterback like none other.
28:29There's never been a man alive who can throw a football like Sonny Jergensen.
28:37Why would his parents leave?
28:40He was born in 1934.
28:42During the 60s, the golden boy with the golden arm was the Redskins fun-loving Sonny Jergensen.
28:49He didn't look like a real pro football player.
28:53He would waddle on with that potbelly, God bless him, and then shred defenses apart.
28:58Sonny Jergensen was short and dumpy and he looked like he should be selling donuts.
29:03The old potbellied stove himself, Sonny.
29:07How can he sell donuts if he ate them already?
29:11What's he gonna sell?
29:13Jergensen came on to heat things up and throw a scare into the bangos.
29:18He used to tell people that his belly was his handicap.
29:22That they made him be that heavy so that it would make things even.
29:25He had his little gut where he been drinking beer all the time.
29:28Giving him a beer and having to throw the football on the other hand is a beautiful thing to watch.
29:32I've sat down and talked to people that put him around my life.
29:40Played with him and people that played with him.
29:43You understand what I'm saying?
29:44All of those 30 people I've ever been around my life.
29:47Record setting.
29:48Numbers haven't even gotten them to the big game.
29:51Oh, really?
29:52Yes!
29:59This episode came out in July 2009.
30:04Half a year later, Drew Brees was a Super Bowl champion.
30:09Like they said he wasn't.
30:12Nice one, chump.
30:20The number two gun...
30:23Dan Marino.
30:25Dan Marino.
30:26I think he came out of the womb.
30:28As a gun to this war.
30:30Marino.
30:30God doesn't make every day this.
30:33He can make.
30:38All those Miami Dolphin teams had one running the football.
30:41With Larry Zonka, Jim Kick, and Mercury Morse.
30:45Yup.
30:46And then a time...
30:48When Dan Marino showed up, they completely scrapped all of it.
30:52Let's get a drive going, man.
30:53Let's get a drive going and score some points.
30:55All the defensive coaches in the National Football League would have patted me on the back if I made it
31:00hand off and hand off and hand off.
31:02So we let Marino throw it on every down.
31:05Let's go, let's go.
31:05Play with some urgency.
31:07A little urgency.
31:08Stand up.
31:10Stepped down to the right side.
31:11Throws into the end zone.
31:12And it's caught!
31:13It's a touchdown!
31:15That's Alvin!
31:16Oh!
31:16Oh!
31:17Never on the game with Marino.
31:19That's the thing I loved about Dan.
31:21Nothing's safe with Dan Marino on the other sideline.
31:2430 seconds to go.
31:25I believe Marino is saying he'll spike it.
31:27He's looking!
31:28He throws!
31:29Touchdown!
31:30Put the ball in Dan the man's hands.
31:32Let him go to work.
31:33Casa.
31:36Appearance is everything when it comes to a gunslinger.
31:39And the way Marino carried himself earned him a spot on our list.
31:43Come on, now.
31:44Let's put Bill Star for himself.
31:45Let's do something.
31:46Marino played with tremendous arrogance.
31:48And I mean that as a compliment.
31:50Marino takes the snap.
31:52He's looking.
31:52Throw him into the end zone.
31:53Oh, no.
31:53He did not care what he did.
31:55His ability to split coverage down the field
31:57and throw a ball through a hole that big 30 yards down the field
32:00is just about unmatched.
32:02Fires end zone.
32:03Touchdown!
32:04Great leaping catch!
32:06And he did a lot of it on pure instinct.
32:09A flame burns inside that man, Dan Marino.
32:13He just played football almost like it was on the playground.
32:16Once he and I were exchanged and I said,
32:18well now what are you looking at when the ball snapped?
32:20What are you looking at?
32:21When you first read, when you look to your alternate receiver,
32:26he says, look, I just look for the open man and I'm going to hit him.
32:31One of Marino's gifts was his ability to split.
32:35And if he sensed the pressure coming, he had such a quick release
32:39that he would get rid of the ball accurately before the pressure got there.
32:43Man, oh man, was that one pretty!
32:45Marino may be number two on our list, but he has the quickest draw of any gunslinger.
32:51He is God!
32:52He had the quickest release of any quarterback I've ever seen.
32:55Marino, slogging in the mud, back to pass, he throws downfield.
32:58Marino would put the ball perfectly in their hands.
33:00Oh!
33:01Touchdown!
33:02Yes!
33:02The guy can put the ball where it needs to be faster than anybody has ever been able to,
33:08and it's going to take a lot for someone to ever challenge that.
33:12I didn't lose for Marino.
33:17Oh my freaking God!
33:20The ball was whistling.
33:23It was sizzling.
33:24It was like Nolan Lyon was on the football field.
33:30He could walk into a room in Shanghai, China, and people would go,
33:35I don't know who he is, but he's pretty special.
33:37They'd also probably know that he never won the big game.
33:43Are you serious?
33:44This is jock riding at his finest.
33:48You had Kelly LaMonica on the list.
33:50They didn't win a Super Bowl.
33:53Fouts and Moon combined for six playoff wins.
33:56Marino himself has eight.
33:58Neither of them got to a Super Bowl.
34:00War Moon didn't even plan a conference championship game.
34:04And you're on Marino's jock about him not having Super Bowls.
34:09Half year, Sonny Jurgensen didn't win a Super Bowl either.
34:19The debate down here was always Marino versus Montana,
34:22and it was statistics versus rings,
34:24and Marino could never win that argument.
34:26But Marino retired with nearly every passing record.
34:29It was Tarzler and his first game were enorme.csis
34:36And Marino's
34:38career accompanied as a gun-slinger.
34:50And now, the number one gun-slinger
34:53of all time, Wes
34:57is there any doubt
35:00brett farve you gotta admire him
35:03you gotta admire him
35:05no one does it better than brett farve
35:07virtuoso performance by brett farve
35:10to be a gunslinger you have to look the part
35:14brett farve looks the part of a gunslinger
35:16everything you'd like to do if you had a dip
35:25barb is beyond number one i don't think
35:27there's a close number two i think brett
35:29farve would be the guy that defines
35:30gunslinger brett farve's place atop our
35:33list may have been expected but our
35:34number one gunslinger is anything but
35:36predictable
35:37he's kind of fun to have a number four
35:39he's not so
35:43i had him when he was really nice
35:45i'm gonna wear a little corny
35:49i'd ask marty if he'd let me call plays in the dug
35:53brett farve was an evil knievel high risk high reward
35:56when he gets on the field all bets are off
35:59throw it away throw it away throw it away throw it away
36:03throw it away
36:05that jerry loose that gunslinger style i'm sure it caused mike holmgren to lose a lot more hair than he
36:10otherwise would have lost
36:11why doesn't we have why didn't he
36:15but at the same time brett farve was able to pull it off a lot of quarterbacks couldn't do it
36:19but brett farve was able to do it
36:20and if you look at it's four hundred and some touchdowns you're going to see many of those were in
36:25tight spots many high percentage of those were like just one inch away from getting knocked down or intercepted farve
36:32looking out comes to the end zone
36:41he'll go off script and he'll throw it underhanded or he'll throw it left-handed or he'll throw it two
36:47-handed
36:47he's going to find a way to do it and it might be unorthodox it might have some collateral damage
36:52at times but sure enough it's going to be exciting
37:02the gunslinger's a guy who's going to throw the ball where he probably shouldn't
37:05and he's going to throw some balls where you go no no no great great great great throws
37:10a prayer of a heave from brett farve and the jets score on fourth and 14
37:16it's the classic no no no yes that happened with brett often he flips it into the end zone
37:22touchdown green bay that was the all-time no no yes yes play
37:26oh yeah
37:28oh my god
37:29mine's over
37:30great quality okay okay what am I supposed to say
37:34that wasn't drawn up believe me that was one of those
37:36open a prayer
37:38stay in love please
37:40yep
37:41I think I'm better that way
37:47webster's under gunslinger there's brett farve's face like right next to it
37:52brady quinn look I know he has a face for television
37:58he doesn't have the accomplishments for television
38:01why are we interviewing draft busts
38:06but the book that will define farve is the record book
38:10and he owns nearly every passing record in it
38:13good and bad
38:17there's a reason farve has the most touchdowns of all time and the most interceptions of all time
38:23why would you pass the ball there
38:24unbelievable
38:26that's what he does
38:28that's what he does
38:29that's what he does
38:30he just felt that he could throw the ball anywhere
38:33if you didn't think it could get any more ugly
38:48what the entire point of being a gunslinger is that it comes with negatives
38:53what do you want
39:02we all try to find something wrong with players
39:05and some will say well
39:06oh gosh the guy threw 310 career interceptions
39:09no more rocket balls please
39:10I was chained up
39:11no I know
39:12well yeah but he had 464 touchdowns
39:15he drills the middle
39:25oh by the way right after this came out he
39:29had 33 touchdowns 7 interceptions
39:33at 40
39:34for the vikings
39:38farve throws the snowballs
39:40farve jumps into his offensive lineman's hands
39:43all of that factors in to the media
39:47loving loving
39:49Brett Favre
39:50give this guy a break
39:51he's Brett Favre
39:52there's only one Brett Favre
39:54I gotta see this
39:55Brett Favre out here
39:56Brett Favre
39:58look at Brett Favre coming off the field
40:00he is so happy
40:01it has been an absolute love fest
40:03it's been a 20 year love fest
40:05my god
40:05is it over?
40:08while that question may be eternal
40:10ours seems a bit easier to answer
40:13despite all of the great quarterbacks we've seen
40:16and the qualities they share
40:18what do you think Mike would do if he knew I had a dip right now?
40:22the consensus is
40:24that number 4
40:25is number 1
40:26on our list of gunslingers
40:28you can probably guess who our number 1 gunslinger is
40:30number 4?
40:31you are correct
40:32number 4?
40:35there's no question
40:37Brett Favre is the absolute
40:38number 1 gunslinger
40:40that's ever played this game
40:42that's right
40:43we're gonna do greeners
40:44get melted
40:44you
