If you are a fan of the NFL, you must know just how much the league likes to turn quarterbacks into legends. This is especially true if the athletes have earned a decent amount of longevity and success. This reputation is mostly earned, although there have been cases in which their greatness has simply been exaggerated due to a memorable clutch pass play or comeback drive. If you take a good look at their career, you will realize just how overrated they truly are. This list is all about passers with a solid NFL career whose greatness has been overstated one way or another through salary, accolade, or opportunities. To be clear, we are not saying that they are bad athletes. Not at all! All we are saying is that it might be time to re-examine whether they deserve all the acclaim that people shower upon them. Do you want to find out whether your favorite QB is on the list? If so, read on!
These NFL Quarterbacks Might Be The Most Overrated In The History Of The League
Mark Brunell (1994-2011)
Nobody is saying that Mark Brunell is the best quarterback that the NFL has ever seen. Even if this were the case, anyone who spends 17 seasons in this position has clearly received a lot of love and support during his time on the green. The majority of his career was spent with the Jacksonville Jaguars when the franchise just started out. He led the team to a 63-54 record with four consecutive appearances at the playoffs. Even so, there are ugly numbers linked to his career. His 59.5 career passing percentage is not great, but it started to go down in the ten playoff games that he started. It went down to 50.8 and was accompanied by a 66.3 playoff passer rating.
