This is an easy one for me: JOE NAMATH

This guy got into the Hall of Fame due to one game. Hall of Fame should be a career achievement, but instead, Namath got in for calling his victory in Super Bowl III.

Here are Namath's "Hall of Fame" numbers:
1886 of 3762 for 27,663 yards 173 TD 220 INT
yes I said it, 220 INT and a 50.1 completion percentage! a 65.46 passer rating: 131st all time!

Remember that Super Bowl that is the reason he got into the HOF? How many TDs did he throw in the game? 0. Yup, not a single TD. So its not like he had the game of his life on the big stage.

Namath is one of the 23 quarterbacks enshrined in the HOF during the modern era.

Namath is ranked 45t all-time for career passing TDs. Hardly a HOF worty stat.

Interested in knowing some of the people above him on that list?
S. McNair: 174
K. Collins: 174
R. Gannon: 180
Ken Stabler: 194 (very similar numbers yet not in HOF)
John Brodie: 214
David Krieg: 261


Thats just to name a few that are above him and not in the HOF nor considered HOFers. There are about 30 more above him that aren't in the HOF that I don't have time to name.

NAMATH is the MOST OVERRATED HOF member EVER

Larry Csonka was not just the running back for the Dolphins...he was also the fullback (a position that gets fewer carries than the TB)

Csonka was one of those few players in the history of the game to change the way the game was played. He was one of the biggest RB in his era.

Csonka also won 2 Superbowls to Namaths 1, and of course, Csonka was a catalyst in the Dolphins perfect season (which at the time of this TD is the only in the history of the league)

Csonka only fumbled 21 times in his 1891 carries, Namath had over 200 interceptions.

What you are forgetting is that the Zonk put up pretty respectable numbers in the postseason and superbowl.

In his 3 superbowls, he had 297 yards and 2 TDs.

All in all, he had 225 attempts for 891 yarda and 10 TDs in 12 post season games

Csonka has more TDs than OJ Simpson and Sayers, and more yards than Sayers
