Fine, you should put Tebow in then. He’s a cultural icon and not for wearing panty hose. Tim Tebow probably will make the College Football Hall of Fame. And deservedly so. He was a tremendous college quarterback. Yeah, because that’s what I was talking about. Get back to your Joe Medicare Supplement ads. 47 more interceptions than touchdowns in his career. Losing record as a QB. Yeah, he was great. |

Dude, no need to get personal.
Listen or read what those who played with Namath, or against him say. And not just because he saved hundreds of AFL jobs. No question he's a HOF quarterback.
As you often say, our mileage varies. No big thing.

Yep. It’s the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Stats. Fine, you should put Tebow in then. He’s a cultural icon and not for wearing panty hose. People from a narrow generation may consider Tebow a cultural icon. Everybody knows Joe Namath. Now that’s a cultural icon. |

Now that’s a cultural icon. Really? Ask someone under 35. There are a lot of people that would have no clue. Cultural icon should not put you in the Hall. |

Who was the best quarterback from the 60"s? My first thought is Bart Starr. Others I can think of are Len Dawson, Sonny Jurgensen, George Blanda, Earl Morrell, and I'm running dry. If only because of commercials, I'm sure Nameth has the highest name recognition among casual and non sports fans.

If that's the criteria, then I doubt they would recognize Paul Hornung, Bart Starr, Lenny Moore, Ray Berry, or Yale Larry either. Sometimes it's good to be old.

Ugh! |

If only because of commercials, I'm sure Nameth has the highest name recognition among casual and non sports fans. The best QB of the 60s was Roger Staubach, but he lost 1965-1967 to Vietnam and 1968, due to his Navy commitment. Len Dawson was probably second. (Or first, if you want someone who played the whole decade.) Sonny Jurgensen was probably third. Bart Starr was the quarterback for the best team, but he was more of a Trent Dilfer (just did enough to not mess things up) of his time than a Tom Brady. Still, Starr usually saved his best work for the postseason. He had another gear, when the chips were down. You could make an argument that George Blanda was better than everyone else on the list, because he also kicked, but he was not as good of a quarterback as the players listed above. Earl Morrall? No. Morrall's longevity was impressive, playing at a pretty high level into his early 40s, but he was never as good as the other players listed above. |

I think that you could make an argument that Johnny Unitas was a top three QB of the '60s, but I personally do not think that he was in the same class as Dawson or Jurgensen. I also would rank him behind Fran Tarkenton. Tarkenton was cursed with the Vikings early on, and he did not really become Tarkenton until 1964. |

I did my list from memory and didn't look anything up until later. Growing up in Roseburg in the early 70's, we had the Raiders and the Niners on TV. I had thought of Lamonica but didn't realize he started in the early 60's. And I simply had a brain fart on Brodie (and Unitas). Now I'm wondering about Roman Gabriel. I don't know when he started or if he was thought of being good at the time. Oh, also thought of Tark, but guessed he was more of a 70's guy. |
