Rank #100 in NFL's one hundred greatest of all time. (This means he will likely be bumped by Cam Newton soon). Too bad because I'm more of a fan of Broadway Joe than Scam.

Must have been a pretty bad-arse dude to have those stats..and still have books written about him and movies made about him some 30 years later.
Stats don't measure impact. If we're going by stats alone, Ken Anderson would be in the Hall.

Namath's legacy is his impact on the game, not purely stats. You could make a damn strong case that Namath was the beginning of the NFL as we know it today.
Just think, when he signed with the Jets he got a $200,000 signing bonus, absolutely unheard of in his day...and just barely more than Cam Newton got for one season at Auburn University. My how times have changed.

I noticed that a few years ago and was shocked. But then I started checking into it and it's pretty good comparatively for that era. The game changed when San Fran (Montana then Young) started throwing shorter passes and to an open spot vs an open receiver. Interesting evolution of the game.
