    Most overrated QB's of all time?

    I'd put Joe Namath near or at the top of my list. In fact, I consider him one of the most overrated athletes ever. He def deserves to be in the HOF with career numbers like these:

    TD 173
    INT 220
    YARDS 27,663
    YARDS/GAME 197
    RATING 65.5
    COMP % 50.1
    WINS 77
    LOSES 108

      Troy Aikman.
      Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

          Vick, definitely. Favre was very good, though.

              While I don't necessarily agree, I can see why some would think Favre is overrated. He made a lot of bonehead plays until the very end.

                Spot on with Namath dude. He sucks. Look at that QB rating! and the completion percentage! yet people do seem to think hes this amazing qb. Now, I wasnt old enough to ever watch him, but from a pure stats standpoint he looks terrible, and it seems like if he hadnt "predicted" a win, he wouldnt be so famous.

                Vick and Vince Young are both way up on my list as well.

                As is Tom Brady.

                  Yeah, Favre. People talk about him like he was the greatest player of all time. I heard some guy on ESPN Radio just a few days ago say that, when Favre was on, "there was no better QB ever."

                  I can't be the only one who remembers that he used to have at least 4-6 games per season where he threw the ball up for grabs all day and was just generally crappy.

                    true, but I also remember him willing his team to victory on many an occasion as well, which cant be done by many.

                      That was mainly at the end of his career with a lack luster supporting cast. Can't judge a guy trying to make plays with the guys he had.

                          definitely Aikman
                          I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                          "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                          You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                          It was all
                          true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                          He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
                          mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                              Yeah, if by "the end of his career" you mean every season from about 1999.
