George Blanda (1949-1975)
This NFL Legend has also earned a spot on the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This three-time AFL champ used to hold the record for the number of career games back in the day. His twenty-six seasons in the league are still considered high even by our current standards. After spending such a long time in the big leagues, however, we find his career numbers rather average. This includes a poor completion percentage of only 47.7. He threw 277 interceptions against 236 touchdowns, which is dreadful enough to be the second highest in the history of the league. He joined four teams during his tenure. As you can see in this 1963 Fleer card, he used to play for the Houston Oilers.

Joe Namath (1965-1977)
We really doubt that Joe Namath would have made it to the Hall of Fame if he did not play in New York and had such great charisma. If you ever check out his stats, we doubt that his legacy will blow your socks off anymore. As a starter, he has a career record of 62-63-4. He also threw 173 touchdowns but 220 interceptions. We are not exactly jumping for joy at the fact that he completed 50.1 percent of his passes. His completion percentage went down to 42.7 percent in the playoffs even though he led the Jets to its only Super Bowl thus far. In any case, his 65.5 career passer rating is worse than that of Trent Dilfer. That should be everything you need to know about his inclusion on this list of ours.
