The bigger inferno developed not with our QB but with the 1966 draft in which Lombardi selected running backs Jim Grabowski and Donny Anderson who got big bucks at the time. At which point after the 1966 season Lombardi put the injured Hornung on the expansion list and he was taken. Jimmy Taylor played out his $30,000 option and went to New Orleans. Both players were around 30 years old and destined for the HOF. Bart Starr was a very late round pick. He competed for the job with several QBs and during the 1960 season Lombardi gave him the spot. Yet in 1971 after Lombardi was gone a rookie named Scott Hunter became our starting QB.</p></blockquote><p></p>
