There have been plenty of super famous and cool players who aren’t in the HOF because their skill level isn’t high enough.

This isn’t necessarily a gripe with Namath but the HOF in general for most sports. There’s never a real criteria and how your perceived is sometimes more important. TO wasn’t a first ballot HOFer which is absolutely insane. All because he wasn’t very liked at the moment.

No one's gonna remember Tyree's name.. or Holmes. That's just reality. I was born in 1985. I know lots about Joe Namath. I barely remember either of those other guys and they played while I was watching.

I remember both of those guys very well actually…. And it mainly has to do with their big plays to win a SB. Maybe we should get Foles in the HOF? Where’s Ronster?!

If Namath doesn’t win that 1 game, he likely isn’t in the Hall and I think that speaks pretty loudly. 1 game shouldn’t determine if a player makes the HOF and yet, here we are.
