And still, one thing you can't take away from Tebow is he won everywhere he played, period. He found ways to win, inspite of his short comings. He just fit better as a college QB than a pro. He'll, even Joe Namath's stats were not good.

Tebow might be the most accurate passer in Jets history at 75%

Namath was a career 50% passer with a 65.5 QBR. He threw 173 TDs to 220 INTs.

Again, completely different game. Throws were pretty much all deep bombs and DB’s could basically mug the receivers.

Namath, except for one game, was not even one of the greatest QBs of his time. There's been a huge argument against him being a HOFer.

Not one person who saw Namath play or played with him would even try to argue against Namath as a HOFer. Before 1978 he was the only QB to put up a 4,000+ yard season. He was voted to 5 Pro Bowls by his peers (this was before the fans had a say). That destroys your argument that he wasn’t “one of the best of his time”. He would have gone to more if not for his bad knees. And while he’s best known for Super Bowl III, he was stuck on some awful Jets teams. Namath’s contemporaries revered him.

And as for that “1 game”, it was the most important victory in NFL history. So, yeah, it’s natural to think that was a big part of his HOF resume. That doesn’t take anything away from his career accomplishments.
