Sammy Baw? I expected more from Texas.
I would imagine that was a legitimate toss up between Baugh and Vince Young

I'll take Earl Campbell for $1000, Alex.
Also, how do these nerds make these lists with no linemen winning awards?
Anthony Munoz (the HoFer, not the Tennessee one) may be the best ever from California

Sammy Baugh helped transform the game of football. The NFL became a passing league because of the influence of players like Baugh. Per Wikipedia..."By the time he retired, Baugh set 13 NFL records in three player positions: quarterback, punter, and defensive back."
He led the NFL in passing for 6 seasons and had the lowest number of interceptions for 5. His career punting average was 45.1 yards per kick and he averaged over 50 yards per punt in 1940. As a DB, he was the first NFL player in history to intercept 4 passes in a game.
He was also part of the very first NFL HOF class.
Sammy Baugh was a badass.
