Big Ben Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 To me the league itself wouldn't be the same today if not for Namath, from his first big pay check to his strong arm & downfield throws, to his charisma, Im just shocked to see you stick up for ANY Jet player...congrats, didn't it feel good? Absolutely agree with the charisma. He was great for NFL marketing. And, he made the most out of being in NYC. But, very overrated as a QB. Chad is actually the better player. Much more boring. But, better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 No disrespect and I love Chad- but he has not proved anything in his career so far- not even close to compare him to Namath Big Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I might go to extremes at times, but I try and stay somewhat objective when talking about football. There is absolutely no debate as to how good a QB Namath was. As faba said, if Namath didn't have the bad knees, he would be right up there as the greatest QB's of alltime, right along with Marino, Montana and Elway. Case closed. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ben, The "system" PennyBoy plays in is more boring and allows for compiling better "stats". Namath was, and always will be, the better QB of the two.

GimmeShelter Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Great site IMO. I realize traffic is important but the current population makes for a good atmosphere. Max, Tom , Faba, Smizz do a excellent job. The Baeball forum with LL, Matt39, Troll, Bob ,Max ,80, Shawn, Guns, Mavrik, GJH, Bugg, Jone, Stormy amongst many others is excellent. Scottish is the king of Jet Nation Fantasy BBall. Tx is Tx.....we'd miss him if he was gone. Seymour will eventually get over himself. The woman of JN are knowlegable and witty and easy on the eyes. Bren and GGG are the Nations jet-setters and could probably have a hit reality television show. The football minds here are top notch with Fish, JYF, Savage28 :wink: ,TS, Seymour, Pfsikh, Southern Jet, Bit, Rsherry, Boozer and many, many others who absolutely know their stuff. EB turned out to be the draft guru. Homepage articles have been great. Verde's illustrations included. Great group of people....congrats on 100 days of JetNation.

Maxman Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Awesome post GimmeShelter. Thanks for the kind words. Bren and GGG did have a reality show. It was on last year. The networks couldn't carry it. Pretty sure Cinemax picked it up for their After Dark segment. I never saw it myself. But I heard it was pretty good. If you don't mind looking at Smizzy with no shirt that is.

You are off base on Pennington though, his "dinks and dunks" were straight out of the Hackass playbook. In college, Pennington threw downfield on a regular basis, as he will return to doing next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenBeans Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The best four things about The Nation: 1. There are not five Madden-esque trade/signing on the front page of the forums every minute of the day posted by kids who should be learning how to flirt with girls while at school. 2. The cast of thousands (or at least 10's) is awesome - good people who don't take themselves too seriously hanging out and talking sometimes about football and sometimes about life. Good stuff. 3. The proprietors are hard working folks that just want to have a nice community at their place. Thank you for doing this! 4. Last but not least - TomShane. 'nuff said!
