Wow the guy who made the list is a complete dumbass. Deion Sanders? Warren Moon? JOE MONTANA? Manning AND Singletary..
Sadly, it was not a single moron who created the list. Rather, it was a whole bunch of 'em. Page 2 readers were involved in the voting.
Why are people always so hard on Namath? I mean, he was widely considered to be one of the best pure passers in his area and happened to play in the most pass-heavy era of the game, thus inflating his INT/TD ratio drastically.
List goes out of its way to piss ppl off & draw attention. According to this list: - Manning is over-rated because he has only one championship. - Montana is over-rated because he won multiple championships with other HOF offensive players. - Prime-Time Sanders is perhaps the greatest shutdown corner the NFL has ever seen but since he wasn't great @ tackling ... he wasn't that great. Rationale behind these choices is just to troll.
Yes, the voters are morons and/or trolls. Montana helped the 49ers win Super Bowl 16 with zero other Hall of Famers on offense. 1981 49ers offensive players- Dwight Clark, Dan Audick, John Ayers, Fred Quillan, Randy Cross, Keith Fahnhorst, Charle Young, Freddie Solomon, Ricky Patton, Earl Cooper, Mike Shumann, Mike Wilson, Eason Ramson, Allan Kennedy, John Choma, Walt Downing, Guy Benjamin, Johnny Davis, Amos Lawrence, Bill Ring, Walt Easley, Lenvil Elliott By Super Bowl 19, the team had added Bubba Paris, Russ Francis, Wendell Tyler, Roger Craig, and Guy McIntyre. Those were the five most notable offensive additions. Still no Hall of Famers in the bunch. Morons and trolls have a tendency to forget (if they ever bothered to realize in the first place, that is) that Montana won multiple Super Bowls before Jerry Rice joined the team.
• Career Record: 62-63-4. • Completion Percentage: 50.1 (1,886 of 3,762). • Touchdowns: 173. • Interceptions: 220 ehhh...overrated yes, MOST overrated? I don't know about that...
Namath threw alot of interceptions, hes like Favre on a bad day and wasnt even that spectacular in the superbowl hes most known for. I suppose having a ring makes you look 10x better than you really are.
One list has Namath as the 100Th best player in NFL history and this list is just preposterous. Yes, he has been pretty lackluster and is overrated, but he won SB 3...FUCKING PEOPLE DONT TRULY REALIZE THE FOOTBALL WORLD WE LIVE IN WOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED WITHOUT HIM LEADING THE JETS TO THAT WIN The merger happened because of it...It is the most important NFL win in history and top 3 all time biggest upsets. He contributed to that season, overall I agree he has been poor in many seasons. But he is still Broadway Joe cause he got the job done.
1. Joe Namath 2. Brett Favre 3. Tony Romo 4. Peyton Manning 5. Emmitt Smith 6. Warren Moon 7. Deion Sanders 8. Mike Singletary 9. Brian Bosworth - ????????????? Overrated by who?? 10. Joe Montana Favre and Namath are a bit overrated but I'm not sure Romo is rated high enough by people to be. I wouldn't put them in my top 10 and the rest of the list is completely ridiculous.
Maybe the writer from Page 2 read all of Namath's annoying tweets and watched his videos and said "How can I get back at this guy for not shutting up?"
Namath is overrated. I don't think anyone can deny that... his impact on the game was huge and SBIII was a crucial moment in NFL history, but outside of a couple seasons he was putrid on the field. I don't think Montana, Manning, Primetime or Moon are overrated at all. Terrible list, probably influenced by hatred more than anything else.
Its not as if he did it single handedly, George Sauer had a better individual performance than Namath in that SB (8 rec 133 yards recieving) and statistically speaking even in todays era he had a pretty good career in the few seasons he played but hes not in the HOF now is he
