ROTAN, Texas (AP) — Sammy Baugh, who set numerous passing records with the Washington Redskins in an era when NFL teams were running most every down, died Wednesday night, his son said. Baugh, who was 94 and had numerous health issues, died at Fisher County Hospital, David Baugh said.

He was the last surviving member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's inaugural class.

After starring at TCU, "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh played with the Redskins from 1937 to 1952.

While he was noted for his passing, Baugh was one of the best all-around players of his day. One season he led the league in passing, defensive interceptions and punting. In one game, he threw four touchdown passes and intercepted four passes.

'Tart to wax poetic about the good ole days of 2 way players, leather helmets, and a 10 game regular season in 3… 2… 1.

2 way players - great, if they're good enough to do it

leather helmets - great

10 game season - too short, 14 games is good

Sammy Baugh was the only old timer I've ever seen on those old highlight clips from the 1940s who looked like he could not only play in today's game, but dominate. He was the prototype from which every passer since has been modeled.

He was much better than David Lee Roth, IMO
