His resemblance to Joe Namath on the field.  The way he walks to the sidelines.  The way he runs the huddle.  His release of the football.  His touch passes.  

 

It's strange but I've seen many Broadway Joe games and Sam has that look!

Joe Namath is the worst football player to ever make the Hall of Fame. Honestly, he probably shouldn’t even be in the Hall of Fame.

 

You have no sense of football history.  Changed the game for the AFL to give the league legitimacy that eventually led to the merger and won the Super Bowl over the heavily favored NFL Colts.  He absolutely belongs as the Story of the NFL can't be told without mentioning him.

Namath threw for over 4000 yards and 26 TD in 1967 back when they only played 14 games and there weren't all the rules favoring offense

 

For reference, Joe Montana and Jim Kelly never broke 4000 yards in a season in either of their entire careers, and thats with HOF teammates all over the place and HOF head coaches with revolutionary offenses

He threw for 4000 yards 40 years ago lmao we still haven’t had a QB throw for 4000 yards lol

You would be embarrassed if you knew how clueless this makes you look.

Perhaps that Sam Darnold has as much right being in the NFL Hall of Fame that Joe Namath does.

 

Other than that .... no.

He's not the worst, but he's close.  Terrell Davis is the worst.  Both had a flash of brilliance and a shtick that got them in.  Neither deserves it.

Which also highlights how no one has yet come within light years of Marino’s ‘84 season.

 

I don’t even know what the equivalent would be in today’s NFL.  5500 yards?  6000?

No, I think it’s more Sponge Bob Square Head. Looks goofy, I know.

Troy Aikman

Joe Montana

Jim Kelly

 

All never hit 4000 yards in a 16 game season, yet all 3 are Hall of Fame QBs known for running explosive  and innovative offenses decades after Namath played. 

 

Doesn't seem possible but it's true. 

 

Elway just broke 4000 one time in his career.

 

To me that puts that 4000 yard season back in 1967 when they only played 14 games in perspective, and I'm no Namath fan.
