good assessment

You forgot Pete Lammons, who was very good that year, Many huge plays when Namath needed it.

Bill Mathis also belongs under good players

This team was a true team where the good made everyone else better. All the tumblers clicked to the right place and opened the lock for them to overcome the loss of Jim Waskiewicz from the roster

I agree on Lammons but would put him under good...I was wondering where to place him as 1967 I think he was very good but IMO 69 just good.

Mathis is tough as I loved him but not in the same way CH loves brady lol. but with a 3.1 RA I would have to place him as only Avg to good as he was a decent rec & very good blocker
