Joe Namath's Career Stats:
Win/Loss/Ties:    68 wins, 74 losses, 4 ties (64-64-4 if playoffs excluded)
Career Passing %Â Â 50.1
QB Rating:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 65.5Â (w/ 50 more Ints than TDs)
Other:

*Â Winning QB in Super Bowl IIIÂ ("Guarantee" game)
*Â Regarded as the NFLs first true media darling

So mediocre stats coupled with some intangibles. He wouldn't make my list of elite QBs except for one very special game. Isn't "Broadway Joe" the Johnny Manziel of the late 60s/early 70s?
