Can someone explain to me what made Joe Namath a Hall of Famer? I'm genuinely curious. I am 25 years young and was obviously never able to watch him play. I understand he won a couple championships (AFL and Super Bowl), but he was statistically pretty average, if not below-average.

No idea. Maybe he thinks they're the same? He just says nobody has been better not that either of those guys are the best, kind of an ambiguous answer

Should be 6-0 in super bowls

He's won 4 super bowls.....by 3 points, 3 points, 3 points, and 4 points. He's lost 2 Super bowls, one by 3 points and one by 4 points. Every Super Bowl game he's played in has been close enough to go either way, saying he "should" be 6-0 is ridiculous.
I personally think Joe Montana is still the GOAT, but Tom Brady is right there no doubt, he keeps getting it done with very few offensive weapons

To be fair Namath was a pretty good QB. The way his gameplan worked against the Colts in SB3 was a thing of beauty and he led the Jets to the most important win in NFL history. So yes if he says Brady is the best ever??? Well...........

I'm a big Broadway Joe fan, but a credible case can be made that he's the most overrated player in NFL history. He certainly has the most underwhelming resume of any quarterback in the Hall of Fame, but he benefitted from playing in New York and winning Super Bowl III. Also, many people feel that the 1958 NFL Championship Game was the mnost important game in league history, though a credible case can be made for Super Bowl III.

New York City, the Broadway Joe personna and the legend of Super Bowl III

The "LOB" had three of their starting guys playing through injuries, lost a corner in the first Qaurter that threw Simon out who got exposed more often than not.

I met Joe Namath on the sideline of the 1981 Iron Bowl.

Lots of former Bama players were at that game because it was the game The Bear needed to have the (then) record for total coaching wins.

Many of us in the Auburn marching band (on the sidelines just before the half waiting to do our halftime show) recognized many of the former players. But the only one to take any time to actually recognize our existence was Joe Namath.

He was talking to some media types and saw us kind of observing his discussion and he turned to them and said "You're going to have to excuse me for a moment, I have to go over here and talk to my Auburn friends" and he walked over to us, introduced himself (duh, Joe, we knew who you were), and shook our hands.

Helluva nice guy. You'll never hear a bad word from this Auburn fan about Joe Namath. Class act all the way.
