I'd have to say Troy Aikman with no hesitation.

You ever wonder why you can't really find any highlight videos of Franco Harris?

It's because there aren't any runs they could put in it, besides him breaking away untouched through gaping holes. That and the Immaculate Reception would be all they would be able to use.

How is he overrated? He has had a mediocre career as a whole, but includes multiple great seasons and multiple Superbowl rings. I think he is rated right where he should be.

I agree with this. If he is not the most overrated player of all time, he is close. Before he died, everyone thought he was a pretty good player that might have had the chance to develop and be great. Due to unfortunate events, that development never happened and people act as if it did.

The most laughable name in this thread as far as I am concerned. TD dominated the NFL for 3 seasons. Was an MVP. Was a Superbowl MVP. Just because his career was short doesnt mean he is overrated. He was as good as any running back to ever play the game for those 3 years.

Troy Aikman

Troy Aikman was a top 5 quarterback for much of his career. People infatuated with the numbers and comparing them to average modern day QBs doesnt negate what he was able to accomplish in his own era. Yes, the Cowboys being stacked helped him. But he was a very important part of that team. Just because he isnt as good as Montana, Marino, Elway, etc. doesnt mean he is overrated.

Just stop. In no way shape or form can anyone make an argument that Michael Irvin is the most overrated player to ever play football. Dude was a great player.

dont take the bait. its just star hating. we all feel like that inside. but reason wins out.
