Then they did focus much more on the mental aspect of the game than they do today. Tom himself talks about it all the time. College systems don't even prepare guys for the NFL and teams just throw them out there and hope that athletic traits will carry the day. Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields...meanwhile the next season Purdy goes last. Without Bill, Tom never wins a Super Bowl. Not one. Not sure he becomes a starter in the league. Bill was so tough on Tom, never treated him like a star and that is a big part of why he became what he did. Tom, in turn, was the consummate leader, took less money than he could, and that helped Bill build better teams. The are both the GOAT at what they do and the accomplishments speak to it. [/QUOTE]
