@@dwightlove3704 Most of today's QB's completions are near the line of scrimmage. Most of Namath's completions were downfield. Just notice the average yards per completion of today's QB's and compare them to Namath's. Namath's average yards per attempt is even higher than most of today's QB's average yards per completion.The reason why today's QB's have a high percentage of compilations is because the passing game has become an extension of the running game with short passes behind the line of scrimmage or just past the line of scrimmage.

[@bernieudo4399]

Yes. If Namath were in Miami or Dallas numbers may not be like today's QBs (30 TDs+ & 4,000), but Pittsburgh would've been given a run for its money. Both teams, unlike the Jets, enjoyed solid ownership & scouting. Shula or Landry would've won beyond what they did because Namath would've enjoyed the protection he lacked.

The Jets had the #1 defense in the league. But, as D-Line coach Buddy Ryan said, "No one remembered that we had the best defense, because our quarterback wore white shoes." LOL Joe Willie and his Jets, TOP OF THE WORLD in 68!

[@christophermcclave6337]

I recall the game vaguely. And yes the Jets had the right combination with strong running game (Snell/Boozer) and stout defense. I was kind of surprised then to learn that Lamonica had thrown for 400 yards against such a great defense under absolutely horrible game field conditions. But this was always the Raiders achilles heel. The offense was built around the long pass. And as they learned the hard way against the Steelers when you can't run there is nowhere to hide. Sometime too its mental mistakes that can turn a game. Charlie Smith not going after the lateral was a huge blunder. I am fairly certain that had the Raiders kept possession they had a very good chance of scoring again. But of course another key mistake for them was Blanda missing a "chip shot" FG. Those 3 points ended up being crucial near the end. You have to hand it to the Jets. They played hard (so did the Raiders). In the SB it was only the Jets that could have beaten the Colts. The Raiders would have been "one-dimensional" offensively and the Colts had one of the best defenses in the league. The Jets victory was almost destiny.

Just got my 1968 Joe Namath "Authentic" Mitchell & Ness Jets Home jersey. A fine piece of clothing. Its funny, you know you're getting old when a youngin' who had only just started getting into football asks...."Who's Joe Namath, and why are you rockin' his jersey? So, after (in my head) saying "you gotta be kidding me", I had to remind myself that this is a youngin'. I then used it as a quick "One To Grow On". I told him, if you want to know about Joe Namath go to this video and pay attention. At 1:36 - 1:54. I told him, right there. The pretty dropback (John Madden said that Namath had the most beautiful dropback, setup, and delivery ever, and I totally agree) and lightning quick throw. We got to see that in that 18 second clip. Those were 2 of the most beautiful throws ever caught on film, and Namath could do it all day. I wonder had Namath had regular knees, and a decent "everything else", where could he had been? Joe was definitely a great QB, even though the stats are pedestrian at best. Joe made the HOF because of his impact on the game on and off the field. Namath was one of the first QBs that Def.Cords would seriously consider not blitzing him, even with his lack of mobility because the ball came out so fast. DBs were shakin' in their boots when Joe got hot because he could put it where they couldn't get it. Now Joe also had what I call "Big Boyitis"! That a sickness a lot of QBs with big arms get from time to time, thinking that they can get that football through a damn keyhole. Joe did it alot, but for every interception, Joe would give you a WOW. Football was very different back then, so I don't look at stats as much as skills, and intangibles. Those differ from person to person, but we for the most part know the Greats when we see them. and Namath was that.

[@curtismcneil8695]

You are absolutely right Joe Nameth was ahead of his time. What people don't realize is just how athletic he was and how good he could run before he got hurt in College. His drop back passing and throwing motion was the best to this day that I have ever seen. Dan Marino & Aaron Rogers are the only other QB'S of the last few decades that make me sit there and just be in awe of there throwing motion. Stats are so overrated because the rules were so different back then. Receivers were getting slapped upside the head and QB'S were being hit after a throw constantly. They didn't use a lot of 3 receiver sets the game has evolved so much but Nameth was special. I can't think of another player who got more people watching the game especially the female base as did Broadway Joe.

This is the story of the first and only World Championship season of the 1968 New York Jets. But what a season it was. Weeb Ewbank became the only coach to win titles in the AFL and the NFL. Joe Namath toned down his game at quarterback and handed the ball off to star running backs Emerson Boozer, Matt Snell and Bill Mathis. And there was also a little girl named Heidi, who interrupted a key game between the Jets and the defending league champion Oakland Raiders on television that season. Lastly, the Jets beat Baltimore of the NFL in Super Bowl III, 16-7.

I was 10 in 1968, but only mainly watched NFL games. To this day, I think that '68 Colts team was maybe the best NFL team ever, and better than the Jets. But the Jets were good enough to beat them, and when the Colts frittered away every early opportunity they had to bury the Jets, New York did what great teams do. They cashed in: they knocked them off. Joe was maybe the smartest quarterback around and with good receivers and that quick release, the flat Colts couldn't stop them. I certainly think AFL teams, like the Chiefs and Raiders, could knock off the good NFL teams back then.

[@Stacie45]

By 1969 probably the three best teams in pro football were AFL teams, the Chiefs, the Jets and the Raiders. Probably the next best 8 teams after those three were NFL teams.

@@Stacie45 Hi Stacie. Interesting post. I believe that if the merger between the AFL and NFL did not happen when it did, I think it would have eventually taken place during the mid-1970's at the latest. At the time of the merger there were some very wealthy AFL owners (Hunt in Kansas City; Bud Adams in Houston; Ralph Wilson in Buffalo and Sonny Werblin in New York) who could've made the lives of the NFL owners more miserable than they had become during the signing wars of the 1960's. Guess we'll never know, but one thing I truly believe is that had they not merged when they did, owners on both sides would've probably looked to sell their teams and the new wave of owners (IMO) would've worked something out between the 2 leagues. With Hunt, Schramm and Rozelle handling the details of the merger when they did, they probably saved a ton of money for owners on both sides and quite possibly saved several franchises from going out of business.

@@seveglider8406 He left the NFL he felt it was too regimented for his personal taste.He thought that it was as if he was in the military but everyone who saw him play said he was GOLD JACKET MATERIAL.

@@seveglider8406 I have developed a certain fascination with WHITE WRs with reputations as speed demons and Maynard was the home run threat for the Jets when he arrived from the Giants.There is a guy ALEC PIERCE from The University of Cincinnati he is 6'3 213 with 4.30 speed he reminds me of two ex-Packers WRs Jordy Nelson&Jeff Janis both of these guys were 6'3 210-218 4.3-4.4 speed.

I miss the days when people could make a touchdown without acting like a fucking prima donna.

The Jets had very bad luck , Matt Snell hurt in 1970 and never the same . For various reasons Sauer , Beverly , Lammons and Hudson all had rather short careers . All were key parts of champ team.

The Patriots were the home team. The Patriots were nomads in Boston, played at Fenway, Harvard and Nichols Stadiums but those venues were booked.

Yes watch America's Game, The Super Bowl Champions, they show pictures of them for each show

[@VMan29397]

Ron Douglas because when the afl was established it need to attract attention so the titans (the jets original name) were put in new York's large market area to help legitimize the afl. also at one point you had 2 baseball teams you know that

[@sirebless6070]

It feels great. But there are 3 NY teams.

[@mylesjs5326]

U have 2 teams in one city when it is twice as big as every other city in the country, and 4 times as big as Philadelphia.

[@NY-ITA99]

Ron Douglas there used to be 3 baseball NY teams

[@georgewodicka4839]

It's not a problem at all, don't worry. Both teams have passionate fan bases and have sold out virtually every game for decades. You've got a good team in Philly, just worry about them, no problems here in New York. The New York metro area has 9 professional teams, 11 if you want to include soccer, some with much more success than others, but all support their teams passionately. No other city in professional sports comes close. Nothing against Philadelphia, just fact.

Wow so obvious the fix was in ....AFL championship and he throws behind line and all raiders just look and run away from the ball
