NY Jets legend Joe Namath : I've seen enough of Zach Wilson

[Mothballs]

Back then the NFL favored more interceptions than td’s, so if you threw a lot of picks you were a stud. Winston, and Jamarcus Russell would be legends if they played back then

Finally a comment that makes sense!

Up until recently the NFL HOF was the hardest enshrinement in all of sports. There are many legitimate candidates that don’t get in. It sucks Namath beat the Colts when you were a kid but to say he wasn’t one of the elite QB’s of his era is foolish.

Terrell Davis is a good “modern” comparison. Absolutely the best player of his career at his position but he was derailed by injuries so his career stats suffer but if you watched football you knew he was someone opposing teams  feared.

You also have stat compliers who look great on paper but shouldn’t be hall of famers, like Frank Gore.

Namath deserves to be in.

He got in based on 1 game. There are many QB's with better stats and careers that never got in. Jim Plunkett won 2 Super Bowls and has better stats playing in roughly the same era and is not in.

Plunkett was great in college. The Patriots stunk when he joined them and he got hammered.

By the time he was with Oakland he was a shell of his former self but did a good job.

He had a really good arm in college.  By the end not too good.

It was a shame he got drafted by the Pats.
