In your opinio, who is the most overrated NFL QB ever?

My money is on Aikman. Had an awesome line and running game. A great Tight end. A great deep threat that he could lob it downfield to and there was no way to cover Michael Irvin on a slant. I never remember watching Aikman and thinking 'what an unbelievable play' If he had to move a step to his left or right, he may as well just throw it into the stands. If Harper, Irvin or Novachek were hurt, he was lost and couldn't adjust quickly to another receiver. (Farve, Manning and those guys can pull a guy out of the stands and start throwing to them.) And it seems like whenever he was hurt, they would always win the game with the backup qb.

I'm no NFL historian but I'd bet the consensus would be Joe Namath with some people saying Favre.

Namath, Eli, and Roethlisberger
I think you see a pattern.

John Elway or Joe Namath - probably Elway because most fans understand Namath wasn't an all time great
People still rave about Elway more because he was a physical freak than he was ever the best QB in the game (There was no year in his career when he was better than Montana, Young, and Favre)

When I think "overrated", I think of a qb that was said to be great(by fans, media, etc.) but never produced a championship. In the recent history I would say McNabb and Vick. These guys to me are overrated. They both had multiple chances to lead a team to a championship and didn't.

Aaron Rogers is an elite talent i just hate the idiots that say "o he already better than Favre" I'd have to say Steve Mcnair was the most overrated. He was tough though.

Some Stats:
Aikman
61.5 Comp%, 32,942 yds, 165 TDs, 141 ints, 81.6 QBR.
Montana
63.2 Comp%, 40,551 yds, 273 TDs, 139 ints, 92.3 QBR
Marino
59.4 Comp%, 61,361 yds, 420 TDs, 252 ints, 86.4 QBR
And just for shits
Drew Brees
65.6 Comp%, 45,919 yds, 324 TDs, 165 ints, 94.3 QBR
Peyton Manning
65.2 Comp%, 59,487 yds, 436 TDs, 209 ints, 95.7 QBR
Another fun stat is yds/attempt
PM 7.6
DM 7.34
DB 7.46
JM 7.52
TA 6.98
If Peyton has a typical year next year, he should break Marino's total. I understand the game is different, and favors QBs. But both Manning and Brees complete passes a full 6 percentage points better than Marino, while having comparable yds per attempt. Say what you want, but thats pretty impressive.

Easy, Joe Namath

I'll disagree with Aikman. He was a great QB IMO. His accuracy was great and he was a good leader. I think in a more pass happy offense he would have put up some huge numbers.
Id go with Favre.

Dan Fouts. Despite his big numbers he never won a game that really mattered. And the excuse of having no running or defense doesn't apply as his teams had both during his career.
