I have heard around the traps about this Wizard character, very knowledgable from what i understand and is going to be very tough to beat in this competition.
Rumour has it he has been working closely with George Costanza during the off-season gearing up his beloved Wizards Warriors for FF seasons and has been in heavy training for this competition.

Don't want to scare anyone but i believe he's the man to beat.

the most annoying merkin on the forum. been so much better around here since his red card. the G shouldve reached into his top pocket a long time ago...

The only "problem" I have is that Joe Namath is overrated. He's somehow a HOFer for what? Compare Ken Stabler's record/stats/achievments with Namaths....how is Stabler not in, but Namath in the HOF?

The travesty continues in AE! Gonna make sure if I ever play anyone from that division, I'm gonna take extra attention in beating you. Given that there are two Raider fans in that division, being put under the Namath division must upset a little too.

Joe Willie is a Superbowl hero, G.....and superbowl heros deserve to be recognised too.

you cant gloss over what he ended up doing for pro-football. He took a team from a so-called inferior and upstart league (remember this is prior to the merger) and created the greatest boilover in football history by helping the Jets defeat the greatest team of the era. It gave the AFL, the merger, and the new NFL enormous credibility at the time.

Exe Gesis · Sep 2, 2009

Re: Armchair Endzone (2009) - Discussion

So one game got him a HOF? I doubt that its that important, given how much bigger role guys like Hank Stram and Lamar Hunt and Al Davis played in the merger.

Still overrated imo. As a QB he wasn't that good, and if you're going off of onfield performance, someone like Ken Stabler was better than him in every category.

Im not dissing the Jets or Jets fans in this, just touching on Namath himself irrespective of which team he may have played for.

If that division is a joke, then it would stand to reason that Larkis was part of that jocularity.

I love Namath as a character of the game. But as a QB he is incredibly overrated. His career QB rating is 65.5 which ranks him 171st alltime. He is very lucky to be in the Hall of Fame.

SuperBowl hero? He won the MVP in SuperBowl 3 based on what? He was 17 of 28 for 206 yards, no TDs. Matt Snell should have won the MVP. Or even Randy Beverly.

He made the 'guarantee' and thats what gives him his mythos, not to mention his character off-field. And yes, the Jets upset the Colts which gave the AFL much needed credibility, and was one of many events that propelled the leagues toward merger.

Also, the Colts werent the greatest team of the era. Prior to SuperBowl 3, all they had won was the NFL title in 1958 and 1959, ten years earlier. The Packers were the dominant team of the era, winning the NFL title in 1961, 1962, 1965 and the SuperBowls in 1966 and 1967.

Joe Namath is a legend of the game for making 'the guarantee' and his profile and charisma off-field. But as a player he is overrated.

Dagless · Sep 2, 2009

Re: Armchair Endzone (2009) - Discussion

In 1967 Namath became the first QB since the NFLs inception (1920) to break 4000 yards in a season, and the only until 1977. His career QB ranking is 24th from the Dead-Ball Era, which is average in comparison to some of the QBs who didn't make the hall of fame, but the 171st ranking is skewed by the favour the passing side of the ball has been given post 1977.

Of course, in the scheme of actual QB performances, he was average and is overrated. But he was the figurehead when a team made the AFL something when it was pretty much a joke to most.

He 'deserves' a division named after for that, alas....

Anyway, back to the AE!

Yep, thanks for that Zarko. I forgot to mention his ranking amongst QBs of his era prior to '77. Here's a link to an article on Dead-Ball era QBs for anybody interested.

http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/7_2282_Dead_Ball_Era_career_passer_rating_leaders.html

He was indeed symbolic of the era and of the changing nature of the sport, and the influence that the AFL had brought upon the game, particularly on the offensive side. His 4007 yard in '67 is evidence of that transition.

But like you say, he's still overrated even in the dead-ball era.

Now back to AE, can someone tell me the name of my conference and division. For some reason, the tables that Woodson posted arent loading on my page. Thanks.

no, i meant based on the events of superbowl 3, and the cred the Jets gave to the AFL and the merger, he deserved to get an AE division nomination.

i tend to agree with you that over the course of his career, he was average. But he still a part of football folklore.

Re: Armchair Endzone (2009) - Discussion

If we talk 'folklore' then Namath has a place in AE. I dont think he deserves a place in the HOF tho. Travesty on all those better QBs (including more SB wins) who arent HOFers tho he is with his mediocer stats.

Next year, Woodson, give me the honor of naming the divisions and conferences. I wanna do something different.....naming them all after the biggest busts in NFL folklore.
