Pretty sure it was Pennywise, but he famously always bet against the Pats.

Did people say this?  I mean relative the the generation before him, you could say he didn't get hit.... just like Manning, Brees and all the guys whose careers mostly began after the NFL started it's pussification.  but that was and is still evolving and I have no doubt Tom took some pretty big shots earlier in his career.

Yes and even @Hardcore troubadour  said he got hit, a lot

Prior to 1978 defenders were allowed a step and a half after the Q.B. threw the ball to drill the Q.B. in the spine with their helmet and it was a legal play.

I think it was Marshall from the Giants who absolutely crushed Montana in the late 80s.  One of the worst "legal" hits I have ever seen

I would've loved to see Marino play in today's rules.

He might not even get his uniform dirty.

agree... with brady's longevity, he played through multiple generations of rules regarding hits on qb's.  the latter part of his career he saw more penalties for roughing the passer for lesser hits.

He didn’t even get touched when he shredded his achilles.

Ok. That was pretty funny.

He got hit hard by Giselle in '22 because he wanted to give it one more go after he had told her the previous season would be his last.   She was too petty to deal with that, and hit him with divorce.   A prenup forced the refs to call offsetting penalties, however, and both teams left the field with the score tied $350M to $400M.

I watched the 2009 NFCCG. It was legal that day.

I'm guessing that was the Bounty Bowl.  I would have to look it up to be certain.

Yup. What the Saints did to Favre that day was practically criminal. I will forever hold malice in my heart toward Sean Payton and Greg Williams.

One thing I feel confindent about is... if these 3 flipped their eras, Allen and Jackson would've been out of football before the end of their rookie contract and Marino would be throwing for 7000 yards a season.
