Identifying all the 1960s QBs from jahsoul357's profile pic
I have actually been doing research on the NFL in the mid-1960s. I believe this photo was taken in 1961. Minnesota did not start play until 1961. Plum played for Detroit in 1962. I had to spend a few minutes on the Internet--I cheated--to identify every quarterback. Here goes:
Top row
Milt Plum
Bobby Layne
Sam Etcheverry
Bill Wade
Bart Starr
John Unitas
Norm Snead
Zeke Bratkowski
Bottom row
Jim Ninowski
Fran Tarkenton
Don Meredith
John Brodie
Sonny Jurgensen
Y. A. Tittle
There are 14 quarterbacks depicted. My guess--I have not checked--is that seven are in the Hall of Fame. Before checking, I had not heard of Sam Etcheverry (Charley Johnson was the St. Louis quarterback in the early 1960s) and Jim Ninowski.
PS I just looked. Six are in Canton--Layne, Starr, Unitas, Tarkenton, Jurgensen and Tittle. I missed on Brodie.
