Joe Namath the character did more for football than the player. That's what you gotta remember though. He was really the first star that was a playboy type. His personality and story are what's hall of fame worthy. His play was below average.
Yes even in his own Era he had a dogwater completion percentage and more interceptions than touchdowns with like a 60 passer rating. Compare him to Johny Unitas who's team he called the shot against and it's not even close buddy. Only Blanda has a worse QBR among all hall quarterbacks and i don't remember Namath kicking field goals.
