Most overrated QB in the NFL?

I would say Mark Sanchez. I mean, is it just me or does it feel like he pretty much got carried his first two years in the NFL by the Jets' stellar defense and running game? Yet, he is one of the most recognizable faces of the NFL and has gotten plenty of compliments. Everytime I see him play, he plays decent at best and I think, "What the heck does Rex see in this guy?" He's not a bad QB by any means, but he sure isn't what many make him out to be.

Hands down Tony Romo. Somehow the Cowboys are hyped as a Superbowl contender every season, and there are analyst claiming that Romo is "elite." It usually only takes a couple of weeks before both claims are laid to rest. People need to get over the Cowboys. They have the most overrated QB in the league, and they are the most overrated team in the league. (even though they never do anything year after year)GoldenElementXL

Matt Ryan. I've been saying it for 2 years. He's a very good game manager. If you give him a good running attack and only ask him to make a few plays here and there he's fine, but if they fall behind and put the ball in his hands to make plays it's all over. You saw it in the playoffs last year, and hell you saw it just last week. He's a smart qb with an average arm, average deep ball accuracy and average footwork in the pocket. He's Chad Pennington in his prime. And i think the media has overhyped him and put this protective bubble around him because he is the anti-mike vick in Atlanta. What Vick did and how he left that franchise high and dry really was a shame and it seems as if the media had to quickly erase the memory of Vick by boosting up their new qb. It's not Ryan's fault, but it is what it is. All this "Matty Ice" stuff needs to stop.

It seems like I am the only one, but Michael Vick. I need to see more than one year of success before I rank him among the upper echelon of QBs in the league like everyone else already has. I hope he proves me wrong, because I like the story, and I have nothing against him. But I just don't see it quite yet.monkeytoes61

He was very good in Atlanta so I don't think he's overrated. He is really really hyped up, but I don't think that would make him overrated.

I am going to agree with most here and say Matt Ryan. He's done alright, but everyone acts like he's one of the best and his numbers aren't that great, at least not to the level people put him at.

I'd have to agree with this. The guy has had a crap load of talent to work with and hasn't achieved squat. Throw Joe Flacco into this catagory as well.

I need to see one more year like last year's performance before I'd even call him a good QB period. He has never been nor will he ever be an elite QB. He's not even a Randall Cunningham yet.

They won playoff games in spite of him. He should have been forced to buy a ticket as he was little more than a spectator.

I know that he is not considered elite or even top 10, but Eli Manning just sucks.

He had a great game moments against the Patriots in the Superbowl but other than that the dude sux if they can't get play action going.

And I'd say mcbabb followed by ryan. Chutebox

You have to be rated to be overrated. No one seriously considers McNabb a solid starter anymore.

Trent Edwards is going to kickaxe and have a nice run through the playoffs thanks to the Cowboys, and the chokester Romo.

Hands down Tony Romo. Somehow the Cowboys are hyped as a Superbowl contender every season, and there are analyst claiming that Romo is "elite." It usually only takes a couple of weeks before both claims are laid to rest. People need to get over the Cowboys.

Mark Sanchez and Joe Flacco!

Why Flacco? I feel like he takes a lot of crap. He get's about as much praise as he deserves. No more, no less.monkeytoes61

4. Eli Manning

5. Kevin Kolb

And so far this year, Philip Rivers is stinking it up something fierce, although he has historically been amazing.

The Falcons never had back to back winning seasons with Vick as their QB. Not once. In 2005, they went 8-8. 2006, they went 7-9.

[QUOTE="heysharpshooter"]

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] Adequate? The Falcons 2003 and 2004 records says it all imo. They went from 5-11, to 11-5. Without Vick they couldn't win a anything. Vick was and still is great. He ran for 1000 yards his last season there. No other word for that but great. -Halftime-

So Vick gets credit for the 11-5 season, but no blame for the 8-8 or the 7-9?

Most overrated?

1. Matt Ryan

2. Joe Flacco

3. Tom Brady

Jacen22

THANK YOU!! I mean, I am a huge Giants fan, and Michael Strahan and the D-line knocked Brady around, that was why we won. I'll give Eli a couple of spectacular throws, but he is an INT machine, I was shocked he didn't throw one last week. I'd trade him for a box of rocks.

Eli Manning is a league average QB but the concensus seems to be because he won a Super Bowl that he's in the upper echelon.

Joe Flacco has good games, but for the most part is very very average.

Ben Roethlisbereger is a tad bit overrated. I still think he's among the upper echelon QB's but he's not the reason the Steelers ahve been to 3 Super Bowl's.

SilentSoprano

Hes been a QB for TWO YEARS, 2 years. Wrap that around your head for a minute. Yet you are surprised the defense had to carry him his first year (not so much last year and this year).

Tell me, how many QBs that started 16 games in college, enter the NFL as a starter on day one and are putting up Tom Brady like performances week in and week out? As of right now I cant think of any so why are so many impatient?

No one likes him outside of NY yet hes overrated? No sports journalist has labeled him elite, and I dont know if you've notice but REX HYPES ALL HIS PLAYERS. It helps installs confidence in his players and that is why he does it, period. I must be the only one that see that :|

He has however played good in high pressure playoffs games, so the pats on his back there are well deserved. One in which he out played Tom Brady in the playoff game on the road so that is yet another plus for this young developing qb.

And by "the most recognizable faces of the NFL", getting endorsements from both the Spanish and American community helps that a lot.

So to say hes overrated is ridiculous at this point in his career.

[QUOTE="PSP107"]Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. They take advantage of having a great O-Line. But in all seriously, as a former high school QB myself, the QB position is sorted overrated. If you don't have a great O- Line or a running game, good luck. QBs who can throw on the run are more talented.bobcheeseball

Sole reason? No. But he is the biggest piece of the puzzle.
