Just to throw out a few numbers for you Joe Namath's career completion percentage is 50.1%, he never had a season where he completed more than 52.9%. He only threw more TD's than INT's
TWICE in his career, and amassed
47 more INT's than TD's for his career. He only passed for 4000 yards once, and 3000 yards on two other occasions. His career average for yards per season.... a paltry 2,128. To put those numbers into perspective former Jets QB Vinny Testeverde, has 5 seasons with more than 3,000 yards and one more with 4,000. He has 7 seasons where he threw more TD's than INT's, and has more TD's than INT's for his career. Vinny's career completion percentage is 56.6 and only failed to complete more than 50% his first two years.
That being said Namath was a good player, but I dont think that his career numbers are near worthy of his HoF status.
Just for some added reading here is a link where a writer at ESPN calls him the most overated player of all time.
