Jet Nut Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 22 minutes ago, SAR I said: "Joe Namath believes he needs another operation, this time to repair a torn hamstring muscle in his left leg. “The hamstring,” says the New York Jets quarterback, “limits my mobility more than my knees do.” Strangely, the hamstring injury occurred nearly two years ago in a Bahamas water‐skiing accident when his tow‐rope snapped. Throughout the last two seasons it was seldom mentioned by either Namath or the Jets’ medical staff." https://www.nytimes.com/1976/02/15/archives/namath-deal-hamstrung.html And one more time, why couldn’t he water ski? Did it affect his knee? Newsflash, athletes are people. They move around, they don’t live in bubbles. They even, get this, waterski. Drive cars. Have accidents.

And if you were watching a preseason game in 2004 and saw Chad Pennington, while coming back from a season-ending wrist injury, throw himself head-first into a linebacker after throwing a meaningless interception in a meaningless preseason game and was lost for another season, your reaction would be, what? SAR I ever since Joe Namath was lost for the season for attempting a tackle in a meaningless pre season game... it is what I as a Jets fan fear and expect to happen, each and every year. If not pre season then in the first couple of weeks of regular season. Like Vinny Testaverde lost for the season on the first series from scrimmage in 1999 by tripping over Curtis Martin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry for fans like you who think they deserve seats and tickets while knowing nothing about the history of the team only about nonsense like uniforms and what outfit to wear to Jets games.

So by your twisted Joe Namath logic, we should’ve held onto Mark Sanchez and Adam Gase for 7 and 9 more years respectively because it is entirely possible that in those years they may have each won us a Super Bowl. Apparently wasting 10 years for having 1 great year is acceptable to you. So from this point forward, every Jets GM, head coach, and starting quarterback should get 11 seasons before we decide they are no good, right?

jago Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Joe Namath put himself in more physical peril in any Raiders game than Sanchez or TB12 has their entire career.You should just be thankful he even made it to 1/12/69 in one piece, as clearly his docs said he wouldnt.He has rightly never had to buy another drink in this town but he unfortunately took everyone up on it, like Mantle, Sinatra, Babe and some other great flawed artists. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Joe Namath done the right thing and took better care of his already-fragile body, the Jets might have won 3 Super Bowls, the Jets might have prevented the '72 Miami Dolphins from immortality, the Jets surely wouldn't have had losing records in 1970, 1971, and 1973, prime years for our Super Bowl team. Be proud of Joe Namath for 1 season. But the other 10? He was Chad Pennington with a drinking problem. SAR I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to stay miserable. Only jet fans. 1. This is not an exciting time to be a Jets fan. Drafts and rebuilds are not exciting. Idzik, Macagnan, Bowles, Gase, people were excited about them too. This time, be smart. Wait and see if they are actually better before getting your hopes up. 2. No one is arguing over Joe Namath. Just telling it like it is, bad decisions, selfish choices, water-skiing being swept under the rug like it didn't happen, these are all wrong. Joe was a one-season hero. He was a ten-season waste of time. 3. Miserable? It's a glorious June day, we're alive and healthy, there is nothing to be miserable about.

jetsrule1969 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 On 6/8/2021 at 7:02 AM, SAR I said: What do I know? Suggest you read a book. In 1969, with homefield against the Chiefs in a playoff game, Joe Namath was 14 for 40 with 3 interceptions and couldn't get the ball in from the 1 yard line on 4 tries costing us back to back Super Bowls. 14 for 40. Think about that. In 1971, Joe Namath, after a predicable interception, made a shoulder tackle in a preseason game, costing him the year. Two seasons later, Joe Namath, recovering from a blown knee, decided to go water skiing in the Bahamas and blew out both his achilles tendons costing him another season. What a genius. Bad in-game decision making, preseason shoulder tackles, and water skiing on injured knees. The guy was a selfish train wreck who had one fluke season where things all came together for him. Hell, he almost blew that too, up all night on a bender and arriving back to his hotel at 5AM the day of the AFL Championship at Shea.

You failed to mention that the game was played under brutal conditions. The Jets and the Chiefs were the top 2 teams in terms of offense. They could only throw short to the RBs and TEs.
