He threw for 522 yards in a game with the Cards, which still ranks 4th all-time. He had a couple solid seasons with the Jets.

He is no Hall-of-famer, but he won a league MVP trophy and went to a Super Bowl. In his 10 years as a Bengal QB he only had a losing record as a starter 4 times.
Yep. When you compare Boomer to his peers, he was one of the top QBs in the NFL for a good stretch. He had some bad seasons for really BAD teams, but when he had competent players around him, he was definitely a top 10 NFL QB.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
