Joe was far below 1/1 TDs to INTs.  He threw 47 more INTs than TDs.  QBs who made the Hall that played in 60s and 70s:
Unitas +37
Starr +14
Jurgensen +66
Staubach +44
Tarkenton +76
Dawson +56
Griese +20
 
the only QB who also threw more INts than TDs that played in the 60s and 70s was George Blanda who made the HOF more as a K.
 
this notion that a -47 TD/INT ratio was normal for great QBs is completely incorrect.
he belongs in the HOF b/c of what he meant to the game NOT for his actual on field accomplishments.

Solid post. Thanks

He's gone out of his way so many different ways to discredit Namath and the Jets SB.  Used to be they didn't have to play as many games to get to the SB. Now it was the D.  Tomorrow he'll soin in a new direction.  It's all he does, changed the story over and over again.  I just don't get the mentality of shltting on our championship team and HOF QB. 

He’s been doing this for years. It started on another board. All it proves is that he never saw him play, has no understanding of the game back then, and can read Pro Football Reference and citevstats with no context. Cue the discussion coming on how the Jets division  stunk and how the Jets luckily played the AFC title game at home. Cue ignoring all the comments from NFL greats at the time who considered him one of if not the best QB in the game from 67-74. Cue ignoring the skewing of his stats downward ny playing for horrible teams from 73 on. 

Yawn
