Did you ever see the guy play?
For the 5th time, yes, I saw some games. Not many, but some.

It seems you are in denial and are unable to put his stats in their proper context.
The OP is pretty straight forward in shedding negative light on his career.

His Super Bowl win and MVP is awesome and he had a couple good years, but he is overrated from a historical standpoint.

I've seen some games of his, too. The 1968 AFL Championship Game and Super Bowl III were on YouTube not too long ago. Even I can claim that. But I can't judge his career based on a handful of games. I could watch a game from Joe Montana's 1983 season with the 49ers, without knowing anything about him, and come away unimpressed. At the same time I could watch a single game of Joe Flacco's, without knowing anything about him, and come away thinking he's the greatest QB to play the game.

The OP, and yourself, are too obsessed with stats. Put some context to those stats for once in your lives. The AFL/NFL Namath played in is very different from the one Manning plays in.
