Sheesh djtestudo, even when I tell you that you are right, you feel the need to argue? I was saying its pointless to compare Unitas's numbers because the rules/style/numbers of the game have changed. Generations past numbers of any sport won't stack up to modern numbers because these changes have been made.
Now... compare something where rules haven't changed, like weightlifting or bodybuilding. Modern science and understanding of how muscles & the human body work and react give the modern athlete a bigtime advantage over the athletes of the past. Yeah, sterroids exist, but even a modern weightlifter with science on their side and no sterroids would dominate yesteryear's competition. That's why records get broken.
Do modern football & baseball players take advantage of the same thing? You betcha. Do they have an advantage? I would think so. Thats why I said numbers comparison is pointless. You want to compare numbers vs. their same-era people, win record, or just plain old toughness, there you go.
