That takes me back to when I was a kid in NY arguing Dawson over Namath to everyone around me. Basically, Namath was the Favre of his generation in a sense. He was a gunslinger on an average team. His personality in NY put the Jets and the AFL on the map. Super Bowl 3 cemented him in lore. He was a good QB on some not so good Jets teams. Brees looks good now since he just won. Right now, I am sticking with Namath over him and I am not a Joe Willie fan. Stat-wise, a lot of people would put Warner over Dawson. Would you all agree with that? Namath, Namath, Namath.
