I don't know if I agree with all the names, but only because I disagree with Manning, he was great at Tennessee, and I really have no recollection of the others college careers.

Also QBs overrated due to their supporting cast like Wuerfful and Leinart.

And here, I think you are letting their NFL performances affect your opinion. Systems and teams are what they are and part and parcel of the evaluation. Both guys were fantastic in college as players. Wuerfful, in particular, was the epitome of the great in college but sucks as a pro QB. Just my opinion of course.

Dismissing guys because they were great or even better pros is a lazy argument. It's like we forget why they were drafted so high. Bruce Smith was a 2 time all American Outland trophy winner and had 22 sacks in one season. The guy who may be overrated because of his pro career is Jerry Rice. His stats are eye popping but it was the SWAC and others had great stats at lower levels that don't get mentioned.

To me Manning reminds me of Miles in college. Difference being Miles has a title. Manning had unbelievable stats in college but could never get over the hump. Mainly bc Manning was up against Florida and Spurrier at peak performance. Much like Miles vs Saban/Bama
