New York Jets legend Joe Namath has certainly had his share of knee injuries, playing the entire decade of the 1970s on increasingly brittle knees.
On Sunday, Namath took to social media to ask why Geno Smith didn’t return to the Jets’ game against Baltimore after suffering his own injury.

It is worth noting that not all knee injuries are exactly alike, in shades of gray rather than sure black and white, and team doctors must have done some reason to keep him from playing in this game.
For what it’s worth, Smith said afterwards that he pleaded with doctors to allow him to return to game action, but that he was overruled by them and later declared out by the team from the issue.
