Unprecedented Feat[edit]
"As a rookie, Baugh led the NFL in passing while leading the Redskins to two NFL championships."
I don't think we will ever see someone else lead a team to two NFL championships as a rookie.
Bad Math?[edit]
"Early in his career, Baugh paid $200 an acre for a 7,600-acre (31 km2) ranch[1] in West Texas"
So early in his career he paid $1.52 million for a ranch in the middle of nowhere texas, even though he was only making around $10k a year in salary from football? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.206.108.160 (talk) 04:52, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Quarterback?[edit]
Baugh played Quarterback later in his career, but he entered the league as a Single Wing Tailback. In most Single Wing schemes the Quarterback was mainly a blocker. Baugh moved to Quarterback when the Redskins switched to a Spread T offense. I believe that was in 1944. The Bears brought the Spread T to the NFL in 1940. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.174.110.5 (talk) 20:57, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Citations?[edit]
This whole article is rife with information not supported by citations. Specifically the end where he is named to a bunch of all time lists and only a couple are supported by links, and those links are other Wikipedia articles. I'm not inclined to fix it all myself. Perhaps the one who put them there should. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.68.62.254 (talk) 18:46, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

MDY dates in citations[edit]
@Bigmoe797: The citation form auto-fills dates using the British style of day-month-year, but since this is an American subject, we should use month-day-year formatting. You'll have to manually adjust it if you're using the citation form. It's a pain, I know. Lizard (talk) 07:11, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
