Dazzling mechanics....plus this guy had breakaway speed as a running QB in hs and college before the injuries. He was a phenomenal talent

@tamzokes You're right. Joe Namath threw more picks than touchdowns. You're absolutely right.

But, to come to Joe's defense, back in the 50s, 60, 70s, quarterbacks, in general, threw more picks than quarterbacks do today.

Take Terry Bradshaw as an example. Bradshaw's TD-INT ratio was 212-210. Terry Bradshaw, 4 -time Super Bowl champion, and 2-time NFL MVP, threw an interception for every touchdown he threw.

Since the 80s, the game has opened up on offense, allowing for fewer INTs.

Sanchez wishes he were 1/4 Joe Namath!!

anyone who thinks joe was an over rated qb by looking at his stats doesn't understand football or it's evolution. all they're doing is displaying their ignorance.

he isn't in the hall of fame by mistake.

i think Madden knows a thing or two about qb's he head one from Bama too !

[race0225]

roll tide , nobody threw like Joe , most of the time he was taking a beating and his recievers were being assaulted !

My favorite quarterback of all time. I'm from Drew Brees country and he is good but to me, Joe was the best.

[panthers7775]

all everyone cares about is stats now just stfu he was a good qb thats all you need to know.

He was the greatest. Forget about QB ratings. He filled stadiums. The first Monday Night Football Game on ABC was Jets at Cleveland. No accident! It was the star power. You don't find that in QB ratings! Once, he threw 496 against the Colts (Baltimore) on 15 pass completions! I was at the game in which he came back after 19 straight games. The Jets without him was a lethargic. Once in to the game, the offense was like a racehorse. He almost won the game. And of course the Super Bowl!
