It's just my opinion, but anyone with a career 50.1% completion percentage and a 173 TD to 220 INT ratio shouldn't be in this list.
Namath's all time won/loss record is also under .500 at 62-63-4.
Maybe I would feel different had a I seen him play growing up and saw his impact in the game in that era.
You can't tell the history of the AFL/NFL without talking about him, but I don't think he should be in consideration for the Mount Rushmore of QBs.
