Of course, then I think a lot of the QB's called their own plays.

You bring up a very good point.
Today's quarterback's, with the exception of Manning have most of their plays called for them. Some don't even have the right to change the play because their ability to do so is not trusted by the coaching staff. Quite frankly I think many of today's quarterbacks would flop if they were required to call their own plays like the quarterbacks of yesterday. Some of the great quarterbacks from Bradshaw's era like Stabler, Griese, Staubach, etc. were so much more than just good athletes. They had a special feel for the game and could make game winning drives and plays based on their brains, not just their arms.
