You missed the mark on Alex Smith for the Chiefs... he was properly rated when he was here. As fans, we even called him Captain Checkdown. Everyone knew QB play is what held the Chiefs back and that is why they traded up to draft Mahomes. The reason KC fans love Alex and speak very highly of him is 1) Was great off the field in the community, and most importantly 2) his mentoring of Mahomes. Alex was (and still is) a class act and Mahomes would not have had the quick start to his career if it weren't for that year behind Alex.
I never understood how a guy with limited arm strength went number 1 overall. You don't need Mahomes's arm strength (Brady, Brees, Montana) but SF fucked the Bears for 15 seasons now for a guy who's incapable of making fitting passed in tight coverage.
The fact that you’re talking about intangibles usually means someone is overrated. Also, Mahomes had a quick start because Andy Reid knew how to run the air raid. It just took them a year to design a scheme around it. There also aren’t many options for Chiefs QBs. You could say Mahomes is overrated right now since people are ranking him as the #1 QB despite how mid he played, but this is for their entire career with that team
@@Rekcha I said he is properly rated in KC for his play... We would pull our hair out when he was Captain Checkdown. We like him for the reasons I stated, not for his conservative playing which means he is properly rated. I know I speak blasphemy in saying this... but I think Len Dawson was actually the most overrated. The Chiefs won because of all Decade worthy defenses.
I mean he is right tbf. Overrated means everyone thinks highly of something that doesn’t deserve it. If everyone thinks they don’t deserve the recognition, they are properly rated
Main reason teddy is loved is one nice guy. the horrific injury just cause people wernt sure he could ever walk again so everyone gets sympathy. Then for saints seeing him go 5-0 was a amazing feel good story to actually see a great guy get a chance and win a lot
I’ll never forget how Teddy Bridgewater was loved by the media after he went undefeated with the Saints Teddy Bridgewater dink in dunk his way to money by throwing The shortest passes… He always has a high completion percentage because he’s not doing anything… A lesser version of Alex Smith
@@thriftthrift4638 as a saints fan he still was a good enough leader despite being dink and dunk. And I mean a backup who almost couldn't walk from "shit we might not make playoffs please go 3-2" to going 5-0 it still was amazing to see. Like I mean dream to play QB and it got him a chance to be a starter again
@@hibiki8473 he was never a starter material Sean Payton is a playcalling genius and he was in a system… And the system allotted drew Brees not to have to do too much Down field in the offense as he got older pretty much easy… He became a starter again but he is obviously not starter talent…
@@thriftthrift4638 he was starter talent in Minnesota I feel. But yeah after the keg injury he clearly a backup tier. But still it was amazing to see him have a chance again at that dream
Teddy is “good backup” tier. If your starter goes down for a month and Teddy is there to step in for a few games you’re feeling pretty good about that. If your starter is out for the year and Teddy has to step in full time, you give up on the season.
Little do moronic NFL fans and normies realize, this was actually a ritual that was done between Drew Bledsoe/Tom Brady/911.. astounding how more people cannot see it. Drew Bledsoe was even wearing number 11 (representing the Twin Towers) and the Jet Mo Lewis knocking him down which launched the Patriots/Brady greatest franchise of all time.. at a time where our government told us to be Patriots.. the historically doo-doo butter Patriots all the sudden become the Super Bowl champs for the first time ever.. lol yeah ok.. and Mo Lewis’ middle name is “Clyde” which sounds an awful lot like “collide” and the announcers kept talking about the massive “collision” that took place.. As the story goes.. they claim that Bledsoe almost died from “bleeding internally” like he would have BLED to death. BLED-so lol k.. not to mention Drew Bledsoe and Twin Towers has the exact same gematria.. but I won’t go into detail about that subject because y’all a bunch of Neanderthals.
Minor quibble with the Drew Bledsoe entry: he didn't make the Super Bowl in 1996 because of a stellar defense. Most metrics rate the Patriots defense that year as barely above average. The real reason Bledsoe made the Super Bowl is because Elway's Broncos, the 13-3 runaway AFC favorite viewed as a legitimate threat to end the NFC's run of 12 straight Super Bowl wins, took a gigantic backed up post-Taco Bell Miralax dump in the divisional round. This allowed Bledsoe's 2 seed Patriots to avoid traveling to Denver and instead host the AFC Championship Game against a crap ass 2nd year expansion team that was 4-7 in late November. Yes, the Patriots were catching ridiculously lucky breaks even before Brady showed up.
@Fries I mean, if you wanna get technical about it, anything's possible. But the Patriots faced Denver in the regular season in 1996 and 1997, once at home and once in Denver, and got absolutely rinsed in both games by a combined score of 68-21. The Broncos would have been a heavy favorite.
The 1996 afc championship . The patriots win 20-6 allowing only two field goals to the jags. The patriots score their first touchdown when the jags screw up a punt inside their own goal line. Patriots start first and goal and punch the ball in. The next touchdown came on a fumble return. I’d say yes it was the defense that fit them to the Super Bowl. That’s the kind of win that’s more likely to happen for Brady not Bledsoe
@@jonjonbailey4314 I don't think he spent enough time in Atlanta to warrant that. Fans immediately saw him as a team cancer and called for Bobby Hebert to take his place.

Chiefs fan here. We *adore* Alex but I've never heard anyone talk about him as more than an average QB (better than anyone since the early 2000s, though). Great game manager though, and even better person.
Could a player with his body type have been more useful at a different position? He had his moments throwing the ball, but was at his best running from the looks of it.
@Fries rn guys like harden, kawhi, or cp3 could be considered overrated, even lesser stars like lamelo ball, myles turner, or deaaron fox could be considered overrated. everyone has different ppl they would think, hell some ppl say lebron or kd or whoever are overrated. its perspective
Fans of teams will usually have a soft spot for an overachieving game manager who didn't screw up opportunities being stupid. I agree it leads to a lot of them being overrated.
I think a "game manager" who doesn't screw up the game for you is overall a better QB than the guy who has flashes of brilliance, but can't get it all together, at least not consistently.
I disagree with the John elway choice because he completely changed the denver broncos and more than likely saved them from relocating. with elway we went from one super bowl appearance, hell one conference championship appearance, to 6 appearances and 2 titles. if there is a overrated denver qb I would choose jay cutler.
Thank you for calling out Kaepernick. Nobody wants to listen to me when I say this guy is a rookie year Lamar Jackson at his PEAK. He could never throw and had to rely on his limit running ability, and everybody always has this false nostalgia for the guy if they support his protests.

Hard list to make since so many damn teams don't have a history of memorable quarterbacks, or just one. We're either saying quarterbacks are "overrated" when they were actually good to great (Stafford, Elway, etc.), or saying that they're "overrated" when they were actually treated as they were "meh" in terms of their performance (like Vick).
Matthew Stafford is not a great quarterback he only has one Probowl appearance And he has 20 more losses than wins in his career Career under 500 Record and Led the league in interceptions Fourseasons And to top it all off he made Calvin Johnson retire because he threw the ball to him in tripple and quadruple coverage 🤓
@@thriftthrift4638 That would depend on the definition of "great" we're using, but Stafford isn't overrated, he's always been massively underrated. Trying to pin his record on him is asinine at best, he spent every year of his career until last season in Detroit, which was never even approaching competent but one year. The first year he's out of Detroit and with a competent franchise, miraculously, he did great and the team won a Super Bowl. Pro Bowls are literally nothing more than overly glorified popularity contests that mean basically nothing. And even if we were to throw that fact out the window, they're heavily dependent, as a quarterback, on the situation around you. And Detroit's been a dumpster fire its entire existence. Leading the league in interceptions matters depending on whether or not you can show that the interceptions were because of the quarterback playing poorly and being the cause of them. There are plenty, and I mean plenty, of interceptions throughout the league that aren't due to the quarterback, but the receiver. Not to mention, again, Stafford was in Detroit, which forced him to choose playing either very conservatively or riskier in order to produce. Stafford isn't like Matt Ryan in terms of ball-protection, but he's not Favre either. Calvin Johnson didn't retire because of Stafford. Are you smoking crack? Stafford's probably been the most underrated quarterback in the league for the last decade or so. Am I saying that he's always been a top five quarterback, or even is now? No, but to say that he's "overrated" is patently insane.
I'm just here hoping Deshaun Weinstein is the answer for my Browns at qb. I've still never seen an elite qb in brown in orange in my 25 years of living. Keep up the great content Barry
@@ryanchase9332 Chicago’s had a few quarterbacks with solid individual seasons (shoutout to Ed Brown for 1956, Billy Wade for 1963, Rudy Bukich for 1965, and Jim McMahon for 1985) but nothing sustained since Sid Luckman.
As a Josh Allen supporter and a Panthers fan, seeing how cam’s career was derailed by injury because of his aggressive play style,it worries me that Josh Allen has a very similar play style to cam
For the Steelers, in the 2001 afc title game that was during spygate, hinesward said in an interview later, “it was like they knew our every play” so that’s not slash’s fault
@@austinfletchermusic The reason why I say I’m not sure how overrated I’d call Michael Vick now is because these days I see him referred to as one of the best rushers in the history of the quarterback position, and influential in that regard. To me it sounds like people think he was decent but not one of the best quarterbacks of his era (I’ve seen lists that don’t even list him as a top ten quarterback of the decade he played in primarily). And that seems fairly accurate as far as people rate him now. Don’t get me wrong, he’s the correct pick here because people did overstate his potential earlier on in Atlanta, and there’s really no other good choice (Matt Ryan is properly rated to a bit underrated depending on who you talk to from what I can tell, and the other quarterbacks Atlanta has had since and before those two are arguably not well regarded enough to begin with). But in general, I don’t find Vick to be that overrated in 2023.
In my opinion, Eli is HOF there's so many worse QBs in the HOF and while he had some struggles he did great things with a revolving door of mid-tier WRs. And he was great in the playoffs.
As a 49ers fan I completely agree. He had one good year where teams couldn’t fully figure him out in how to handle it. Once they did he didn’t even look average. Outside one half season he was mediocre
Barry should do this for all 30 nba teams i know hes already done top5 most overrated but a full video with so many examples sounds like a really good video
Idk if the Alex Smith description is fair. Smith was a great QB and game manager in KC. His only sin was being the QB before a legend like Mahomes, who has admitted to learning a ton from Smith as a backup his first year in interviews.
I disagree with the Elway choice. He's properly rated as one of the best to ever throw a football. He retired with the 2nd most completions and yards and 3rd most touchdowns in NFL history, as well as the most wins and super bowl appearances with a very lack luster offense for the better half of his career and Dan Reeves as a coach. When he finally had a team around him, he was amazing. He's definitely a top ten qb all time dude, and an argument can be made for top 5 all time. Obviously, there's Brady, Manning, and Montana. But he's neck at neck with Marino and Favre for the next few spots.
@@jsivco3sivco785 yet he had the most wins in NFL history and most 4th quarter winning games at the time of his retirement. Meaning he won more than Marino, Montana, Young, Aikman, Bradshaw. And all but Marino and Elway had HoF talent surrounding them throughout their career. So miss me with the qb rating shit. Ryan Fitzpatrick has a higher qb rating than Elway and almost as high as Marino's, is he in the goat debate?
@@handsomesquidward-_- Elway deserves credit for longevity, after all his career started in the early 80's when Quarterbacks were still allowed to get pummeled.
@@handsomesquidward-_- Fitzpatrick plays a watered down league that over protects QBs. WRs are open much easier today than 1980s. Johhny Unitas career % and rating are not eye candy looking today but much harder to pass in that era
Joe Flacco’s playoff run was not a fluke. He was an above average QB who turned it on in the post-season in his entire career. The Ravens were lacking in talent after the super bowl and Flacco was never going to carry the team alone, he needed talent around him to put together wins, the Ravens ended up in cap hell after the Super Bowl, and Flacco’s contract didn’t help
The Never Got Any elite weapons on the outside and Ray Rice punching his wife in the elevator really affected the ravens success Long-term Joe Flacco is comparable to Eli Manning because he is just a different animal in the playoffs And average during the regular season but his receiver talent was never good enough
As a Pats fan those playoff games were intense but especially the 14 div round. Ravens were just as tough that year as the Seahawks. Also fuck the Colts.
Flacco was not above average. From 2008-2018 he was 22nd in epa/play among QBs with 2000+ plays. If Joe Flacco was above average then Kyle Orton was above average.
@@kazokadas You sound so much like a hater he was obviously above average because in the playoffs he was beating legends back-and-forth… how did he beat Tom Brady & Peyton Manning in the playoffs? Etc he was a clutch performer Was Eli Manning great in that regular season no he played good in the playoffs just like Joe Flacco he was above average… and seeing that he’s counting stats or not that bad based on how long you played… you’re tripping Kyle and Joe Flacco are two different people
@@thriftthrift4638 Why would anyone hate Flacco? He's not good enough to have haters. He was way above average in the playoffs, I'm not denying that, but in general he was a pretty meh QB. I forgot to filter out garbage time. Joe Flacco is 25th in epa/play from 2008-2018, Eli Manning is 13th. This is in the regular season.
“None of the other Packers QBs are highly thought of anyway” Is my sarcasm meter malfunctioning or has he just been living under a rock for almost all of 103 years? The only Packers starting QB without a championship ring in recent memory is Magic Majkowski.
Alex smith is the reason why Patrick Mahomes is who he is sitting behind a guy like that and having Andy work with patty goat for a year made him incredible
No way in hell was Alex Smith on the chiefs is overrated lmao. We all called him captain checkdown when he was here but at the same time he was the best qb we had since Trent Green. Took the worst team in football and immediately made them a playoff contender 😂
Mahomes sure as fuck isn’t overrated Lenny imo isn’t Trent is the opposite so maybe Joe cool I guess but then again smith was a number one overall pick that’s why I think he’s slightly overrated but I also think he’s underrated
4:49 I’ve gotta disagree with you on this one. Favre was a gunslinger, the greatest ever, so obviously he was gonna have a few seasons where he threw a shit ton of interceptions. Also, unlike Rodgers, he’s made two Super Bowls. Yes, Rodgers has had some bad teams, but Favre never really had great teams either. Also, he was the all-time passing yards and passing touchdowns leader until Peyton and Brady came along. I’ve gotta go with Rodgers because many Packers fans call him the greatest player of all time when he’s only the greatest *passer* of all time. This doesn’t mean Rodgers was *bad*, but he’s not the greatest player in NFL history.
Usually Rodgers didn’t make the Super Bowl due to his team collapsing around him, namely his defense. My evidence for this being that Favre led teams failed to reach 20 points in a playoff game SEVEN times while Rodgers led teams did the same thing ZERO times before this past postseason I don’t think either are exactly overrated though I’m a Vikings fan, so I can’t believe I’m defending two Packers quarterbacks
@@nicholasselke5214 that's a wild stat you brought up. That's def something that's not talked about enough in qbs and their teams. Rodgers has done a lot on offense and consistently cannot win while others can have teams who keep em in it so they can eventually win it. I'm glad someone can see the sense in the reality of the situation. Cheers to you from a packers fan 🤝🏻
@@nicholasselke5214 Perfectly said. This past year is literally the first time I can think of that the Packers lost a playoff game because of Rodgers. Nearly every playoff game the Packers lost under Sherman or McCarthy came down to a Favre INT.... if not several.
@@panther189_ He won those MVPs under Mike Holmgren when he truly was the best player in the NFL. Unfortunately, Brett Favre was a completely different player under Mike Sherman, which is why he's on this list.
Just because doug Williams is considered a franchise legend doesn’t mean people consider him an all time great. I feel like he is like David Tyree, Nick Foles, Malcolm butler. In the sense that people love them because they came up big when it mattered most. I dont see people putting doug williams in the top 50 of all time
I'd gone with Romo for Dallas. The guy's treated like he won 5 Super Bowls and 10 MVPS. When in fact he struggled most of his career to even make the playoffs and when he did they never got past the Div round. Now he's even looked at as "the greatest color commentator" of all time. The guys a buffoon. Good dude, but, a buffoon.
And the biggest issue with the Cowboys now is the same issue they had during Romo’s tenure. The one holding the team back is Jerry Jones. And that will remain the case until he sells the team or croaks
If he took chances throwing the ball down the field he could’ve won Super Bowls he didn’t have to be a generational talent He played it safe Teddy Bridgewater stylr
Teddy Bridgewater? Vikings should have had Brad Johnson AKA Mr. Average or Daunte Culpepper who couldn’t do anything beyond throw the ball deep to two of the GOAT WRs of all time.
Nobody thought that highly of Brad Johnson. I thought of Culpepper as a flash in the pan. My vote for the most overrated quarterback in Vikings history has got to be Kirk Cousins. My point is that while he’s been good (not great), he hasn’t been able to come anywhere close enough to justify his ever inflating salary that now stands at $35 million per year
As a Charger fan let me just say THANK YOU for telling it like it is about Eli. A lot of folks wanna say "what if?" About if he'd stayed a Charger. Rivers wins at least 2 rings, and Eli wins none. That's it. That's the what if.
Hate to argue but I think Eli was much more reliable in the postseason (at least in ‘07 and ‘11), whereas Rivers always underachieved or choked in the playoffs. I’ll give Rivers a pass for the 2007 afcc cuz of his injury tho. Eli wouldn’t have won SB 42 without his Defense, but he was also the guy who won the game when it was on the line for them. I look at him as someone who can rise to the occasion and shake off pressure in the moment, an impression i never got from Rivers.
As a Washington fan, we all know that Williams was a one hit wonder. The only reason we remember him is that Super Bowl. If anything, I think Cousins is overrated (even by myself). He’s the only somewhat consistent qb we’ve had over the past 20 years and so we (or I at least) look back fondly on his time with the team. Even tho it sucked while it was happening
I'm just glad Stafford was able to change his career for the better. I knew he would be the lions but if he continues to do well then he could make a promising end to his career
Wouldn't call Winston overrated. I think most of the sports world doesn't think he'll amount to anything at this point. I'm a Saints fan so I'm hella biased but I think with the tools they're giving him this year he can live up to the hype from when he was first drafted
Kordell Stewart overrated? Never heard anyone say much good about the guy. In fact, most of what I hear is that the Steelers defense under Cowher was so good they got to multiple AFC championship games with Kordell at QB.
I know it might be tough, but I have a video recommendation for you: Every NFL Team's Best Player: Non-QB Editon Also, do you have a discord? If not, you should start one.
Kaep easily should have gotten a starting spot after SF. Even in his worst season, 2015, he was better than Marcus Mariota, Mitch Trubisky, or DeShone Kizer in 2017, and about on-par with Eli Manning and Joe Flacco. The trouble is, all those guys were either young players with potential, or popular vets who fans would buy tickets just to see them play. If you look at it from the perspective of the owners and executives, it's easy to understand why they didn't pick him up. Recruiting Kaepernick would alienate some fans, and if wound up being a bust (not impossible), it would alienate the rest of the fans. Heads you lose half, tails you lose the other half, too.
Prescott vs. Romo for most overrated is an interesting argument. It's not Aikman. I would've picked Burrow over Palmer and McNabb over Cunningham. Mostly for shits and giggles.
Brett Favre was an iron man when football was a lot tougher and went to back to back superbowls. He’s actually better than Aaron rodgers because he actually took risk and slung the ball. Aaron rodgers is a coward in the playoffs Btw go watch Troy aikmans highlight reel. One of the smoothest effortless releases I seen. Aikman is underrated. Cowboys didn’t win 3 Super Bowls because of their oline. Tired out narrative

Mathew Stafford "Didn't win anything with 12 seasons with the Lions." Literally 2 sentences before "Won the Super Bowl in his 1st Season with the Rams" Maybe, just maybe, and hear me out...the Lions might have been the issue...just a theory.
Decisive yes but I enjoy the content as someone whose not fully into the football scene. Could your next video idea be on every underrated NFL quarterback ever and will you do a overrated/underrated one for the NBA too? Would be cool.
Kudos for telling it straight about Vick. No one will deny that he was extremely talented and had high potential, but his performance became worse over time. He often seemed to lack field of vision to make a last second pass vs. just running all the time, and he held the ball in a way while running that was easy to cause fumbles. But you won't get most of the crowd that wanted Ryan out the door to admit that. Some have rational reasons, while some simply hated that he replaced Vick and treated Ryan like he pissed on their dog and burned their house down.
70% of Falcons fans believe Michael Vick is better than Matt Ryan… Atlantis the city is full of transients there are not from the city… Matt Ryan walked around for 14 years with more Vic jerseys in the stands than his own 🐍
^This proves my point exactly. First off, that statistic comes from the Donald Trump School of Fabricated Stats, and they never can dispute my point with actual on the field stats when even Matt Ryan's more "average" seasons are still head and shoulders above any Mike Vick season in every measurement besides rushing yards.
@@thriftthrift4638 The two aren't even comparable. Especially not in their stays in ATL, but even if you are counting Vicks time in Philly it's nothing compared to Ryan's peak. Atlanta worships a dude that openly admitted to not caring about winning when he was here, and not just the fans. We retired the piece of shits number for some unknown reason. Like that's awesome you're reformed but you wasted Roddy's career kindly get the hell out of the city now.
@Fries you know why Vick is overrated because people to this day say if Vick had Roddy white & Julio he would have won SB First of all what the Philadelphia eagles Vick had a super team.. Deshaun Jackson was a Top 5-10 WR a Top 3 RB in LAsean Mcoy. Jeremy Mackinac was a top 20 WR etc… he had Stars on D With Names Ryan never had 39 Wins as A QB in ATL in 7 seasons Ryan Had 39 Wins in 3.5 Seasons Exiting and explosive but stop acting like Vick wasn’t a fumbling machine
Cunningham, wow, I would have gone with NIck Foles. Nothing against him, I love Foles, but outside of the Superbowl run he was pretty average and I kept hearing how he was going to be a great QB for the Eagles for many years to come.
I don’t know about overrated as an Eagle but around the league? Definitely. He did well in his first stint with the Eagles, flopped with the Rams and was merely a backup with the Chiefs, won a Super Bowl in his second stint in Philadelphia, lost his starting position in Jacksonville to a sixth round rookie, initially couldn’t beat out Trubisky for the starting job and lost it to him again mid season and I’m certain the Colts are screwed if this guy has to start more than three games this season. If Nick Foles wants any success, he needs to go back to Philadelphia and stay there
Remember Foles 2013 season he had a 27-2 TD to INT ratio and complete 64% of his passes. I would go with Sam Bradford. Of all the QBs since I started watching the Eagles I would say he had the biggest disparity between hype and results.
As a Cowboys fan, THANK YOU FOR SAYING DAK, he is so overrated by Cowboys fans and non-Cowboys fans. Like sure he’s a borderline top 10 QB but I don’t ever see them winning a super bowl with him at the helm
Barry, I appreciate the video as always, and I thought it was good, but some of these selections are too absurd to ignore. Nobody on earth is overrating the likes of Plummer, Leftwich, Bradford, Fiedler, Bridgewater etc.
Jay Fiedler? C’mon on man, the only positive thing I ever heard about him was that he was even able to walk with that atrocious O-line Miami had. Every Miami fan wishes he was as good as Alex Smith. The correct answer is Ryan Tannehill. He was the definition of mediocre, yet lots of people still wanted to defend him because he put up garbage time numbers and play decently against terrible teams, but was outplayed by Matt Moore and never made the playoffs.
With Stafford I don’t think he was ever over rated. He was expected to lose because of how bad his team around him always was. He never had a fair chance in the first place (and I say this as a Packer fan and laugh at Detroit most of the time). He produced high volumes with always sub par teams. One man can only do so much. In order to head his team to victory he would have had to throw for 5,000+ yards and 40+ touchdowns every season because of how awful their defense usually was. I definitely don’t think he deserves to be on an overrated list.
“Give me a break , no offense to Kevin ware “ bruhhhh literally the other day I found myself thinking What ever happened to Kevin ware 😂 one of the worst injuries in sports history

@@SuperMaanas It's a 9/11 joke.
Little do moronic NFL fans and normies realize, this was actually a ritual that was done between Drew Bledsoe/Tom Brady/911.. astounding how more people cannot see it. Drew Bledsoe was even wearing number 11 (representing the Twin Towers) and the Jet Mo Lewis knocking him down which launched the Patriots/Brady greatest franchise of all time.. at a time where our government told us to be Patriots.. the historically doo-doo butter Patriots all the sudden become the Super Bowl champs for the first time ever.. lol yeah ok.. and Mo Lewis’ middle name is “Clyde” which sounds an awful lot like “collide” and the announcers kept talking about the massive “collision” that took place.. As the story goes.. they claim that Bledsoe almost died from “bleeding internally” like he would have BLED to death. BLED-so lol k.. not to mention Drew Bledsoe and Twin Towers has the exact same gematria.. but I won’t go into detail about that subject because y’all a bunch of Neanderthals.
Minor quibble with the Drew Bledsoe entry: he didn't make the Super Bowl in 1996 because of a stellar defense. Most metrics rate the Patriots defense that year as barely above average.
The real reason Bledsoe made the Super Bowl is because Elway's Broncos, the 13-3 runaway AFC favorite viewed as a legitimate threat to end the NFC's run of 12 straight Super Bowl wins, took a gigantic backed up post-Taco Bell Miralax dump in the divisional round. This allowed Bledsoe's 2 seed Patriots to avoid traveling to Denver and instead host the AFC Championship Game against a crap ass 2nd year expansion team that was 4-7 in late November.
Yes, the Patriots were catching ridiculously lucky breaks even before Brady showed up.
@Fries I mean, if you wanna get technical about it, anything's possible. But the Patriots faced Denver in the regular season in 1996 and 1997, once at home and once in Denver, and got absolutely rinsed in both games by a combined score of 68-21. The Broncos would have been a heavy favorite.
The 1996 afc championship . The patriots win 20-6 allowing only two field goals to the jags. The patriots score their first touchdown when the jags screw up a punt inside their own goal line. Patriots start first and goal and punch the ball in. The next touchdown came on a fumble return. I’d say yes it was the defense that fit them to the Super Bowl. That’s the kind of win that’s more likely to happen for Brady not Bledsoe

Hard list to make since so many damn teams don't have a history of memorable quarterbacks, or just one. We're either saying quarterbacks are "overrated" when they were actually good to great (Stafford, Elway, etc.), or saying that they're "overrated" when they were actually treated as they were "meh" in terms of their performance (like Vick).
Matthew Stafford is not a great quarterback he only has one Probowl appearance
And he has 20 more losses than wins in his career
Career under 500 Record and Led the league in interceptions Fourseasons
And to top it all off he made Calvin Johnson retire because he threw the ball to him in tripple and quadruple coverage 🤓
@@thriftthrift4638 That would depend on the definition of "great" we're using, but Stafford isn't overrated, he's always been massively underrated.
Trying to pin his record on him is asinine at best, he spent every year of his career until last season in Detroit, which was never even approaching competent but one year. The first year he's out of Detroit and with a competent franchise, miraculously, he did great and the team won a Super Bowl.
Pro Bowls are literally nothing more than overly glorified popularity contests that mean basically nothing. And even if we were to throw that fact out the window, they're heavily dependent, as a quarterback, on the situation around you. And Detroit's been a dumpster fire its entire existence.
Leading the league in interceptions matters depending on whether or not you can show that the interceptions were because of the quarterback playing poorly and being the cause of them. There are plenty, and I mean plenty, of interceptions throughout the league that aren't due to the quarterback, but the receiver. Not to mention, again, Stafford was in Detroit, which forced him to choose playing either very conservatively or riskier in order to produce. Stafford isn't like Matt Ryan in terms of ball-protection, but he's not Favre either.
Calvin Johnson didn't retire because of Stafford. Are you smoking crack?
Stafford's probably been the most underrated quarterback in the league for the last decade or so. Am I saying that he's always been a top five quarterback, or even is now? No, but to say that he's "overrated" is patently insane.

@@austinfletchermusic The reason why I say I’m not sure how overrated I’d call Michael Vick now is because these days I see him referred to as one of the best rushers in the history of the quarterback position, and influential in that regard.
To me it sounds like people think he was decent but not one of the best quarterbacks of his era (I’ve seen lists that don’t even list him as a top ten quarterback of the decade he played in primarily).
And that seems fairly accurate as far as people rate him now.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s the correct pick here because people did overstate his potential earlier on in Atlanta, and there’s really no other good choice (Matt Ryan is properly rated to a bit underrated depending on who you talk to from what I can tell, and the other quarterbacks Atlanta has had since and before those two are arguably not well regarded enough to begin with).
But in general, I don’t find Vick to be that overrated in 2023.

Joe Flacco’s playoff run was not a fluke. He was an above average QB who turned it on in the post-season in his entire career.

Cleveland Browns-Well, that’s like your opinion man.
4:49 I’ve gotta disagree with you on this one. Favre was a gunslinger, the greatest ever, so obviously he was gonna have a few seasons where he threw a shit ton of interceptions. Also, unlike Rodgers, he’s made two Super Bowls. Yes, Rodgers has had some bad teams, but Favre never really had great teams either. Also, he was the all-time passing yards and passing touchdowns leader until Peyton and Brady came along. I’ve gotta go with Rodgers because many Packers fans call him the greatest player of all time when he’s only the greatest *passer* of all time. This doesn’t mean Rodgers was *bad*, but he’s not the greatest player in NFL history.
Usually Rodgers didn’t make the Super Bowl due to his team collapsing around him, namely his defense. My evidence for this being that Favre led teams failed to reach 20 points in a playoff game SEVEN times while Rodgers led teams did the same thing ZERO times before this past postseason
I don’t think either are exactly overrated though

My point is that while he’s been good (not great), he hasn’t been able to come anywhere close enough to justify his ever inflating salary that now stands at $35 million per year
Brad Johnson threw a touchdown to himself, your argument is meaningless.
As a Charger fan let me just say THANK YOU for telling it like it is about Eli. A lot of folks wanna say "what if?" About if he'd stayed a Charger. Rivers wins at least 2 rings, and Eli wins none. That's it. That's the what if.
Hate to argue but I think Eli was much more reliable in the postseason (at least in ‘07 and ‘11), whereas Rivers always underachieved or choked in the playoffs. I’ll give Rivers a pass for the 2007 afcc cuz of his injury tho. Eli wouldn’t have won SB 42 without his Defense, but he was also the guy who won the game when it was on the line for them. I look at him as someone who can rise to the occasion and shake off pressure in the moment, an impression i never got from Rivers.
As a Washington fan, we all know that Williams was a one hit wonder. The only reason we remember him is that Super Bowl. If anything, I think Cousins is overrated (even by myself). He’s the only somewhat consistent qb we’ve had over the past 20 years and so we (or I at least) look back fondly on his time with the team. Even tho it sucked while it was happening

Also, do you have a discord? If not, you should start one.
Kaep easily should have gotten a starting spot after SF. Even in his worst season, 2015, he was better than Marcus Mariota, Mitch Trubisky, or DeShone Kizer in 2017, and about on-par with Eli Manning and Joe Flacco. The trouble is, all those guys were either young players with potential, or popular vets who fans would buy tickets just to see them play. If you look at it from the perspective of the owners and executives, it's easy to understand why they didn't pick him up. Recruiting Kaepernick would alienate some fans, and if wound up being a bust (not impossible), it would alienate the rest of the fans. Heads you lose half, tails you lose the other half, too.

I'm a big Brady fan, from New England and I gotta say I love this channel. You're good at what you do mate, keep it up.
Brett Favre was an iron man when football was a lot tougher and went to back to back superbowls. He’s actually better than Aaron rodgers because he actually took risk and slung the ball. Aaron rodgers is a coward in the playoffs
Btw go watch Troy aikmans highlight reel. One of the smoothest effortless releases I seen. Aikman is underrated. Cowboys didn’t win 3 Super Bowls because of their oline.
Tired out narrative
Right, Aikman has almost as many INTs as he does TDs. Dude only had one season where he through for 20+ TDs. Aikman is overrated as F'=K!
I check your page every day for videos. You talk about well educated sports topics and talk unfiltered shit based on your opinion. There isn’t enough of that in the nba/nfl.
Leftwich wasn't replaced by Garrard the jag just accepted the fact that Leftwich's best talent is snapping in half and being injured just long enough to come back next year
That Stafford take of yours will be changing over the next few years.
Matt
Staford has a below 500 record 20 more losses than he has wins in his whole entire career
And he never won the NFC North in any seasons while Rogers was injured for at least three seasons twice with a broken collarbone
@@thriftthrift4638 You do realize the Lions are garbage, right? Also, they would've won less games than they did if not for him.
@@phoenixgamer3480
And Rogers was hurt for at least three seasons broken collarbone twice and something else happened..
Matthew Stafford led the league in interceptions 4 Times in his career. He had the Best WR in the League
And a Future HOF DT Ndamukong Suh
The bills was trash org… Josh Allen rose above
Cincinnati was Trash Joe Burrow rose above
Tampa Bay buccaneers sucked Tom rise above… when you lead the league in interceptions four times you’re part of the problem too 🐍☀️
Lions fan here, prediction is going to be Matt Stafford
Edit: Yup, don't get me wrong Matt is a good quarterback but he's definitely the most exciting guy we had, which doesn't say much
The faceswap on Watson... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Famously responsible user of welfare funds Brett Favre”! Bro I’m dying 😂😂😂😂
Putting Bill Cosby’s face on Deshaun Watson was hilarious.
This is a certified hood classic
That Flacco take isn’t looking so hot anymore.
ALEX SMITH ON THE CHIEFS??? Really? Dude just helped the team get to the divisional with a decent receiving core and a crazy RB, TE, and Defense. Smith just played his role and did his best to get them into the Playoffs, but go of
Good pick with the Texans! I love how you described how he’s negatively affected the franchise
Not that Watson isn’t overrated in the regard he described, but are any other Texans quarterbacks even regarded well enough to be overrated in the first place?
Schaub is considered ok but not amazing from what I can tell, and I don’t know about how anyone else is considered.
0:37 I was afraid it was going to be Matt Ryan. I’m glad you realized that Vick was not what Madden 04 said he was.
That Kevin Ware line was such a throwback omg
Flacco was a great playoff QB, but average during the regular season.
I ain't a Dallas fan but everyone calls Dak overrated. Nobody ever calls him elite. He only gets hate because he's a Cowboy.
Mathew Stafford "Didn't win anything with 12 seasons with the Lions." Literally 2 sentences before "Won the Super Bowl in his 1st Season with the Rams"
Maybe, just maybe, and hear me out...the Lions might have been the issue...just a theory.
Yeah, Scott Mitchell Deserved the "honor".
Most AZ fans tend to fondly remember jake plummer because he ended the team’s 51 year playoff-win drought in the 1998/99 postseason. Also a good dude
His best years actually might have been in Denver
Decisive yes but I enjoy the content as someone whose not fully into the football scene.
Could your next video idea be on every underrated NFL quarterback ever and will you do a overrated/underrated one for the NBA too?
Would be cool.
SAM BRADFORD?! Now I’m dying
Cam Newton will best be remembered for not trying to recover that fumble in the Super Bowl against Denver.
Hey Barry, what about the reverse Leftwichs out there? Good or great players that became bad coaches?
Kudos for telling it straight about Vick. No one will deny that he was extremely talented and had high potential, but his performance became worse over time. He often seemed to lack field of vision to make a last second pass vs. just running all the time, and he held the ball in a way while running that was easy to cause fumbles. But you won't get most of the crowd that wanted Ryan out the door to admit that. Some have rational reasons, while some simply hated that he replaced Vick and treated Ryan like he pissed on their dog and burned their house down.
70% of Falcons fans believe Michael Vick is better than Matt Ryan…
Atlantis the city is full of transients there are not from the city… Matt Ryan walked around for 14 years with more Vic jerseys in the stands than his own 🐍
^This proves my point exactly. First off, that statistic comes from the Donald Trump School of Fabricated Stats, and they never can dispute my point with actual on the field stats when even Matt Ryan's more "average" seasons are still head and shoulders above any Mike Vick season in every measurement besides rushing yards.
@@thriftthrift4638 The two aren't even comparable. Especially not in their stays in ATL, but even if you are counting Vicks time in Philly it's nothing compared to Ryan's peak. Atlanta worships a dude that openly admitted to not caring about winning when he was here, and not just the fans. We retired the piece of shits number for some unknown reason. Like that's awesome you're reformed but you wasted Roddy's career kindly get the hell out of the city now.
@Fries you know why Vick is overrated because people to this day say if Vick had Roddy white & Julio he would have won SB
First of all what the Philadelphia eagles Vick had a super team.. Deshaun Jackson was a Top 5-10 WR a Top 3 RB in LAsean Mcoy.
Jeremy Mackinac was a top 20 WR etc… he had Stars on D With Names Ryan never had
39 Wins as A QB in ATL in 7 seasons
Ryan Had 39 Wins in 3.5 Seasons
Exiting and explosive but stop acting like Vick wasn’t a fumbling machine
Cunningham, wow, I would have gone with NIck Foles. Nothing against him, I love Foles, but outside of the Superbowl run he was pretty average and I kept hearing how he was going to be a great QB for the Eagles for many years to come.
I don’t know about overrated as an Eagle but around the league? Definitely. He did well in his first stint with the Eagles, flopped with the Rams and was merely a backup with the Chiefs, won a Super Bowl in his second stint in Philadelphia, lost his starting position in Jacksonville to a sixth round rookie, initially couldn’t beat out Trubisky for the starting job and lost it to him again mid season and I’m certain the Colts are screwed if this guy has to start more than three games this season. If Nick Foles wants any success, he needs to go back to Philadelphia and stay there
Remember Foles 2013 season he had a 27-2 TD to INT ratio and complete 64% of his passes. I would go with Sam Bradford. Of all the QBs since I started watching the Eagles I would say he had the biggest disparity between hype and results.
@@t_ylr Nobody was hyped about Sam Bradford. Lol.
“Un like Montana Plummer sucked” was a great line
It’s a good day when Mccockiner uploads
Before seeing this whole video, I am going to assume Tom brady is on here twice🤣
Wow what a disappointment!
As a Cowboys fan, THANK YOU FOR SAYING DAK, he is so overrated by Cowboys fans and non-Cowboys fans. Like sure he’s a borderline top 10 QB but I don’t ever see them winning a super bowl with him at the helm
haven’t seen it but predicting michael vick will be on here twice
Barry, I appreciate the video as always, and I thought it was good, but some of these selections are too absurd to ignore. Nobody on earth is overrating the likes of Plummer, Leftwich, Bradford, Fiedler, Bridgewater etc.
I can't believe he put Brett in there over Aaron.
Jay Fiedler? C’mon on man, the only positive thing I ever heard about him was that he was even able to walk with that atrocious O-line Miami had. Every Miami fan wishes he was as good as Alex Smith. The correct answer is Ryan Tannehill. He was the definition of mediocre, yet lots of people still wanted to defend him because he put up garbage time numbers and play decently against terrible teams, but was outplayed by Matt Moore and never made the playoffs.
Deshaun Watson makes Bill Cosby look like a choir boy
Also never forget Terry called his own plays
With Stafford I don’t think he was ever over rated. He was expected to lose because of how bad his team around him always was. He never had a fair chance in the first place (and I say this as a Packer fan and laugh at Detroit most of the time). He produced high volumes with always sub par teams. One man can only do so much. In order to head his team to victory he would have had to throw for 5,000+ yards and 40+ touchdowns every season because of how awful their defense usually was. I definitely don’t think he deserves to be on an overrated list.
If any Lions QB is overrated, it's Scott Mitchell.
@@mach6893 agreed. 2 good years was all he had.
@@mach6893 Mitchell was very overpaid when he played, but isn’t regarded as that good now.
I wouldn’t call him overrated personally.
I laughed way to hard at the Watson meme.
How is Stafford overrated for 12 years he didn’t have a team the man went to a complete team his first year and got a ring 😂
“Give me a break , no offense to Kevin ware “ bruhhhh literally the other day I found myself thinking What ever happened to Kevin ware 😂 one of the worst injuries in sports history
