Y.A. Tittle was a good passer for his time. That's what I've got. For the time period when he played in the 1950s, he performed better than most.

Of course, throwing the ball was secondary to the running game in the '50s, so basically Tittle has only two years with more than 3,000 yards, two years with more than 30 TDs and more total interceptions than TD passes.

Really, he has 212 touchdowns and 221 interceptions. He comes in at around 55 percent completions, and looking at his statistics next to modern players, I have no idea why he is in the Hall of Fame.

Some would say I'm comparing apples to oranges. Well, if your old-school apples can't even throw for 30,000 yards (28,339) in a 17-year career with no championship rings, when modern-era oranges reach 30,000 in eight years, I'm sorry, but I'd rather have some oranges.

And do you know why I didn't list a team for Tittle on this slide? He played for four teams in his career, including the Baltimore Colts for three years, who were subsequently disbanded in 1951. For a guy who's supposed to be a Hall of Famer, why was he traded at the height of his career?
