Inquiry Intro

Growing up in Buffalo odds are you were a fan of the Bills and the Sabres. They are our only two professional sports teams. I found hockey to be annoying at times since it is forced upon any male after the age of five since our close position to Canada. I never played but was a fan of the Sabres. But as long as I can remember I would watch the Bills games on Sundays with my Dad. I loved football since I was young. I would spend all day Sunday watching the games and then during the week look up all the highlights and stats. That would lead to me to look up records and that lead to me watch footage of almost every great player who has ever played. It has gotten to the point to where I know more random stats and facts than anyone should know. The older I got the more I knew about the sport and I could hold my own in arguments with my uncles who are Die-Hard football fans. A question that comes up constantly in our conversation is “Who is the Greatest Quarterback who has ever played the game?” We can never agree upon one name. I think that is because there is no right answer to this question. The NFL has existed since 1920 and over that time the game, science, and players have changed so much. So many factors go into this question. For example the era in which they played, the number of championships they won, their overall statistics, their most famous moments or I like to call “highlight reel”, and there long lasting impact on the position. An argument can be made for any other point but these five I’d like to look at these five since I think they are the most important.
