re: Is Ben Roethlisberger the most overrated QB in NFL history?

And there are some others that you could really argue about, but that's another story. Bottom line is that Ben is a top ten QB of his era, which does NOT necessarily qualify him as one of the top QBs of all time. Because people want to call him one of the top five in his era and one of the top of all time, he's over rated.
Remember, "over rated" does not necessarily mean "not good" or even "not great". It just means "not as great as the hype that several people assign to this individual, but we can understand why their judgement is flawed".
I agree with everything you said... I just lump Rodgers and Rivers into tier 2 (of current qb) with Roethlisberger.
I wonder how many fans/analysts/players would consider him a top 10 qb of all time. I think that would be a stretch... Aikman won 3 SB and he isn't considered an all time great compared to the other names of old.
The rings argument is overplayed when it comes to quarterback play. Brady has put up great numbers (td/int and rating) in addition to his 3 rings, which is why I think noone really has a problem with him being considered a top 10 qb of all time.

He also passes the laugh test. When you watch him play, you can SEE why his stats are great. In his case, the stats and the scouting supplement each other.

Rodgers is one of the best QB's that I have seen play. I think he's better than Manning, Brees, and Brady as far as what he does. I'm not saying that he is going to have a better career than Manning and Brady, but he impresses me more than any other QB. I don't think Manning and Brady would be superstar QB's behind Green Bay's oline.

He had what Most DIDn'T A SUPPORTING cast that was UNREAL.
