Bleacher report top 25 QBs of all time

[Uptown]

#7 for Namath is nutty, but uh you can't just compare stats from the NFL's Dead Ball Era to the passing numbers today. For his era he was a good player, even if he got way overhyped because of the guarantee.

His # of Top 10 seasons by stat:

Completions: 7
Attempts: 7
Yards: 8
Touchdowns: 8
Passer rating: 5
Yards/attempt: 7
Yards/completion: 8
Adjusted yards/attempt: 6
Completion %: 5
Comebacks: 6
Game winning drives 6
Total offense: 8

Until the end of his career when he was totally busted, his interception % was either league average or a bit better while everything else was in the top 5-10. Heck, he had 5 seasons in the top 10 LEAST intercepted QBs by % of throws.

Namath shouldn’t be a HOF.

Hold up, where’s Nathan Peterman?

Phillip Rivers over Brett Favre? I don’t know about that...

Namath shouldn’t be a HOF.

For his actual on the field performance, agree.

I think because of his persona, he raised the profile of the game which is more in the "contribution" catagory.

Bart Starr isn't on the list but Alex Smith and Carson Palmer are?

And no Otto Graham.... lol

What are you talking about? I made a joke and you responded as if I was serious, it was clearly tongue and cheek. And your response above makes zero sense.
