Kenny's exclusion from the HoF is criminal, to anyone that knows the game. I'm amazed they finally got around to acknowledging Ken Riley, of course waiting until after he had died to bother doing so. I went there once, and saw a tourist trap not much worth my time. But it means something to the players, so that's why I care.

As to the op: yes, agreed from a numbers standpoint. But, Namath was so much more than a player. He was truly a product of his time, a colossus striding across the football landscape.
