Lol, wow, I figured you mean 'without' because it was about Romo, oh well!

As far as Aikman, he does deserve to be in the Hall of Fame due to success. He's not the best ever by any means, but teams don't win 3 rings in 4 years with a quarterback who is "just" good, or whatever people want to say. He was an essential part of the triplets, they relied heavily on each other.

 

Romo is one of the most underrated quarterbacks of all time.

 

Stafford was on a Romo-like path there for a while but the last year he just completely fell apart. Romo is definitely better but watching Stafford over the years seriously reminds me of him a lot

 

Top 5 most overrated and underrated QBs of all time let's go

 

Overrated #1 Elway

 

seriously his SB stats are:

76-152 for 50% completion percentage, 3 TD's, 8 INT's

threw at least 1 INT in all 5 games and didn't throw a TD in 2 games. 1 game above 60% completion percentage

 

I've always thought Stafford was pretty underrated for how much he's had to carry the team, he's really worked on raising his completion percentage the last few years while maintaining a steady YPA with the exception of this year, idk what happened, didn't watch enough Lions games

 

I will say that Aikman is overrated in that some people see 3 rings and think he was a god because of winning/being the face of one of the best NFL dynasties, but he's becoming underrated because there seems to be some recent idea that he was a scrub and was nothing more than a game manager, which just isn't true.

 

I've been on this wagon for years

though Joe Namath is way more overrated. He was an actual bad QB.

 

Keep taking L's

Someone save my boy PatPete

 

Ya my two teams easily have 2 of the top 5 most overrated, easily lol

 

Looking at stats alone for QB's back then just will not work.

I'll agree that Elway is overrated in that he's not one of the best all time, but he was very good.

 

I agree with that. He was obviously still a very good QB but he is not some all-time stud

 

Overrated:
Peyton Manning
Eli Manning
John Elway
Troy Aikman
Joe Namath


Underrated:
Tony Romo
Kurt Warner
Drew Brees
Matt Stafford (Pre-2018)
Phillip Rivers

 

Yeah Rivers pre-2018 might have actually been the most underrated, he's finally getting his recognition this year

 

I'm curious on your reasoning for Brees and Warner being underrated? Aren't they both generally considered all time greats?

 

I feel like even though they get mentioned at times with the greats, it's very quick and in passing. I think it'll change with Brees down the line, but this dude is still tearing the league up and doesn't get nearly as talked about as much as I think he really should.

Warner is the same case. I feel like people only mention his "from going from grocery bagging to the NFL" story and never really talk about just how damn good he was.

 

I think Brees is top ten all time, arguably top five.

My crazy opinion is that I think Russell Wilson is going to go down as one of the great of all time. I'm talking top fifteen at least, if not better.

 

I find Brees to be a little overrated tbh. Just my opinion though.

 

I think Joe Namath is properly rated. You can't tell the story of the NFL without Joe Namath, and he's also not that great

I don't think anyone makes a top 25 list with Joe Namath on it

 

I can see Brees being underrated as well, I think he isn't actually brought up often enough as an all time great or he's near the bottom of any list of greats because he's played in the same era as Brady and Manning, but you could make a case that he may actually be more talented than both

 

Payton gets credit for Brees. Some people legitimately think Payton is some genius that created Brees. So yeah id say hes underrated

 

NIck Foles > Brees amirite?
