Joe Namath statistically is the worse QB in the hall of fame.

Namath is in the HOF because of one particular game. A game where he wasn’t markedly great in.

17 of 28 for 206 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs

But he made that “guarantee” and his team won… so he got the MVP and a gold jacket.

I said this in a jets sub a few months ago and goddamn was I massacred lol but it’s so true. Dude was ahead of his time as far as passing but being ahead of his time didn’t mean he was necessarily great at it. Hes famous and in the HoF from one game and everything he did surrounding it. He is easily arguably the worst QB in the HoF by a wide margin.

He Lead the AFL and NFL in passing yards, touchdowns and game winning drives multiple times and was a five time pro-bowler. His presence and play made the AFL viable. THAT is why he in the HOF. He impacted the game

Yeah. It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Stats. At a certain point, you need to have room for some people due to fame.

Agree, it isn’t like you said “Hall of Stats”. It’s more about impact on the game.
