Can you list his "great" accomplishments, besides winning ONE SuperBowl?

The Best should be reserved for guys who were truley the best...alot of guys won one Super Bowl and alot of them are not "the best".

There are many QBs who didnt win SuperBowls who where much better QBs than Namath.

I have nothing against Namath except that his hype of the guarantee is really his greatest achievement. But what happened the next year and the next 5 years after that. Nada, one hit wonder.

Clearly, you know little about the game at that time. Tell me why he was the first player drafted. Why was he offered the largest contract in history at that time? I am certain you knew more then too.

Okay, maybe he only won one Super Bowl? Maybe only one national championship? He was still All-American and All-Pro.

It's like say Ted Williams wasn't that good or Babe wouldn't be as good in today's game. Truth is, Joe was the best there was in his day. Most people would agree.

Joe Namath's best season came in 1967 when he completed 258 passes for 4,007 yards and 26 touchdowns and his knees were held together with tape.

Sorry, he was one of the best to ever play the game.
