Bart Starr was incredible. There is an old book, a diary really, that was written by Jerry Kramer about the 1967 season with all those great Packers players... I've read that book multiple times over the years. It was a different game back then, but I loved it. The book's name is "Instant Replay" and is worth a read if you have never read it (you don't have to be a Packers fan to love it).
+1 on watching the games just to see Butkus or Sayers. Those Bears teams after the '63 Championship year were really bad. They were bad until the end of the 70's. Even with great Hall of Fame players, the teams were bad teams. For that matter, even the early years with Walter Payton the team sucked. When you go back and read over the names of those QBs during that stretch, they were so bad. Bill Wade was a solid QB though. Interesting that our 1985 Super Bowl and 1963 NFL Championship teams had solid QBs.
