    Most overrated NFL player of all time?

    I don't know who I'd say is the most overrated, but I would have to put Joe Namath near the top of that list.

    The guy didn't even surpass 30,000 career yards, threw more INT's than TD's, and had maybe 2 "good" seasons his entire career.

    If not the most overrated, def. the most overrated hall of famer to ever play football.

    Who do you think is the most overrated player in NFL history?

    Most overrated in Bills history?

          Paul Hornung.
          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?

                Just curious, how old are you ? Did you ever see Namath play in person ? I probably saw him live about 6 times, starting in the 60's.

                He was fantastic. I never saw anyone who could just flick the ball 60 yards and hit either Don Maynard or George Sellers in stride. Dan Marino copied his arm motion to the letter.

                Bob Griese is in the HOF. That's the worst selection in the history of Canton.

                Most overrated Bill. Cornelius Bennett. Talley was twice the player.

                  Fully agree.

                  Not just on Namath, but on Bennett.

                  Namath was one of the few divisional rivals that earned the respect of Bills fans.

                  I'd say Junior Seau.

                    Emmitt Smith - Average running back behind the best OL ever.
                    Michael Vick - Please. RBs should not be under center.
                    Dan Marino - Great arm. Terrible leader, selfish player, never was a team so about one person.

                    Most overrated Bill: Even though he was an 8 time probowler and had a chance at the HOF at one time: Ruben Brown.

                      I don't know about one player, but I know about one play that is the most overrated in NFL history, "the catch". I mean Dwight Clark basically jumped about a foot and a half and caught the ball and people think it was some marvel of human engineering.

                          Broadway Joe is an NFL legend and was a great player, especially considering how bad his knees were. There would be no AFL, which means no Buffalo Bills, if Joe wouldn't have signed with the Jets. All fans of original AFL teams should be grateful of Joe. By the way, most quarterbacks of Joe's time threw more INTs than TDs. Such as Jack Kemp and many others.
