Joe Namath is a prime example.

Arguably you could put any QB on a good team and see success.

he went to oilers first. for the love of god all there players left town when BUM came to new orleans. he went back to the bottom of the barrel there

when he got traded to minnesota was the best team he could have played for and had a shot. but his knees were shot and the rest of him so banged up he just should have retired.

as for the passing stats the team around him has everything to with it.

i really do not think you have a clue as to how bad the teams were most of the time when archie played
