Joe Namath has become football’s most misunderstood quarterback...

[#1Tidefan]

...

Namath’s career is misunderstood for several reasons. Younger fans think he’s famous because of The Guarantee, but he would have been an elite quarterback (and was acknowledged as one by his contemporaries) even if he never won a Super Bowl. He was among the best ever at avoiding sacks, an often overlooked but key element of effective quarterback play. He played in one of the worst eras for quarterbacks to compile strong passing stats, which is why his numbers don’t compare to modern quarterbacks. And his career arc was unusual, which further makes the use of career numbers an inappropriate way to understand Namath’s career.

Namath was a wild one when he attended Bama.

True, but he'd seem rather normal compared to today's bunch.

That's true OT...If he were to play in this day/time though, he would get slaughtered. Just my thoughts....but in his heyday, he was one heck of a QB.
