re: Was Troy Aikman overrated?

I wouldn't say overrated. He did what he needed to do to win. Game manager? Sure. He's only in the HOF because he won 3 Super Bowls.
I do have an issue with some of his "Pro Bowls"
In three of his Pro Bowl's, these were his stats:
2,754 yards 11 TD - 10 INT
2,676 yards 13 TD - 12 INT
3,126 yards 12 TD - 13 INT
When Jim Everett was the NFL's Passing TD leader in 1988 and 1989 and he didn't make the Pro Bowl with these numbers:
3,964 yards 31 TD - 18 INT
4,310 yards 29 TD - 17 INT
Just shows you how much of a popularity contest it is.

To be fair, TD numbers being down is fine because they had an elite running game to pound it in. But everything else is kinda eh. Elite game manager.
Just for comparison sake of his 6 pro bowl seasons:
1991 - 2nd in completion %, 5th in YPG, 4th in YPA, 22nd in TD%; this is the unique outlier but elite run game in the redzone fixes a lot of TD woes.
1992 - 5th in completion%, 6th in YPG, 9th in YPA, 5th in TD%, 3rd in passer rating
- Earned
1993 - 1st in completion%, 4th in YPG, 2nd in YPA, 11th in TD%, 2nd in passer rating
- Earned
1994 - 2nd in completion%, 16th in YPG, 2nd in YPA, 16th in TD%, 6th in passer rating
- Not earned
1995 - 2nd in completion%, 17th in YPG, 4th in YPA, 21st in TD%, 3rd in passer rating
- Not earned
1996 - 2nd in completion%, 14th in YPG, 15th in YPA, 29th in TD%, 12th in passer rating
- not earned

Well, he also played lights out in the playoffs as well. One of the best playoff QBs of all time.
