No, Dan Marino is the most overrated QB of all time. His 8-10 playoff record speaks volumes. He was the Jay Cutler of his era, disappear when the pressure was greatest. Jim Plunkett was 8-2 for comparison.

Facts:
2004: 5th in QB rating (22nd in yards)
2005: 3rd in QB rating (21st in yards), won SB
2006: 21st in QB rating (8th in yards)
2007: 2nd in QB rating (14th in yards)
2008: 24th in QB rating (14th in yards), won SB
2009: 5th in QB rating (7th in yards)
2010: 5th in QB rating (18th in yards)
Given those numbers, which are somewhat inconsistent, I consider him a top 5 quarterback. It is well documented that he has many 4th quarter comeback wins, while playing on a team with the best defense of this era.
Combined with those regular season numbers, and his postseason record, he has to be rated as a very good quarterback at worst. I haven't seen many analysts mention him as the best in the league. If he wins another SB, only Brady will have as many as him (and Brady is considered the best by a lot of analysts).
tier 1: Manning, Brady, Brees
tier 2: Ben, Rodgers, Rivers
etc

the answer lies in who each is banging. Brady is banging the supermodel of the decade and Rothlisburger is raping college chicks in bathrooms. Brady is the premier QB of this generation / thread.

He is a big lug who can take a hit.
He played on two super bowl winning teams.
he's good,but not great.
I doubt many people think he is in the same conversation
with Montana, Van Brocklin, Y A Tittle, and the actual best QBs of all time. He is just a good QB, blessed with a huge body.
We are hoping Mettenberger is as good.

Calling this a hyperbole is an understatement.

Big Ben is very tough, playing hurt and still moving and extending plays. He usually has to throw on third down too, when everyone knows he will be throwing. He also does it in the cold. Heis tougher, more mobile and better than BRady in my view.
Joe Namath is the most overrated QB in history!
