Whos the most over-rated player to play the game of football?

i think it could be joe namath(173 TDs, 220 INTs,) how is in the HOF? the only thing he did was guarantee victory in the superbowl, other then that his career was mediocore, there are many past and present players who are very over-rated, lets take ryan leaf for an example, hes a failure . . so tell me who u think it is

You are SO right about Joe Namath, here are some more Namath facts you might not be aware of

13 year career

Threw more Int’s than TD passes in 11 of them, including his final 8 season’s in a row. I thought Qb’s were supposed to get better after they got used to playing in the league?

threw more than 20 Int’s 5 times in 13 seasons. Four of those seasons, he only played a handful of games (6 or less) so he threw more than 20 Int’s in 5 of 9 complete seasons in the NFL. And remember, they only played 14 game seasons back then.

Career 173 TD’s 220 Int’s …. Could this be the biggest discrepancy in the history of the NFL? 47 less TD’s than Int’s?

Threw the 2nd most Int’s returned for TD’s in the history of the NFL

Completed less than 50% of his passes in 7 of his 13 career seasons.

All-time completion percentage is 50.13%

Failed to make the playoffs in 10 of 12 career seasons with the Jets. The playoff appearance with the Rams does not count since he did not get the team there

Career playoff victories – 2, and he never won another playoff game after the “guarantee” against the Colts.

Highest ever QB rating was 74.3. In 2005, this would have ranked him with the likes of Josh McCown (74.9), Michael Vick (73.1) Brooks Bollinger (72.9) Joey Harrington (72.0) Gus Frerotte (71.9) Kyle Boller (71.8)

8 of 12 seasons, his QB rating was below 70, and his career QB rating is 65.5

ranks 44th all-time in pass attempts
Does Not rank in the top 50 all-time in completions
Ranks 42 all-time in passing yards
Ranks 43rd all-time in TD passes
Trails the illustrious Craig Morton in all these statistical categories
