Sammy Baugh passes

I can't believe nobody mentioned it.

[ame="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3776838"]Washington Redskins great "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh dead at 94 - ESPN[/ame]

He led the NFL in passing for 6 seasons which is still a record. His 51.4-yard punting average in 1940 is still the NFL record.

Baugh still holds Redskins records for career touchdown passes (187) and completion percentage in a season (70.3). His 31 interceptions on defense are third on the team's career list.

"Sammy Baugh Passes".

Not to be disrespectful to the dear departed, but you do realize what a horrible pun that is, right.

Revolutionized NFL offenses. Led the league in passing, punting and interceptions in a single season. I'd like to see a QB do that now.

I would like to see any player lead in 2 of those in one season.

That record will stand FOREVER. I guarantee it.

RIP Sammy B.
