namath was an elite QB back then. his knees prevented him from having the long term success that he could have had. And he picked a part the colts defense in SB3 with his arm and more importantly, his play calling.
I like the Jets, i always have because they are an underdog type of team in NY. I like Ryan too, but the Jets are loud mouths now who talk alot of shit and have done nothing to back it up. There are excellent teams who have done it for years who dont make a peep. The Jets act like they are one of those teams and they turn off alot of people with those antics.
you got to earn respect, u cant just demand it. When they lose people are going to pounce on them and they deserve it cause they asked for it
