Troy Aikman (1989-2000)

If you look at his career stats, none of them will come off as awful at all. Even so, it is hard to choose one that looks super great. Apart from his three Super Bowl wins with the Dallas Cowboys, his career figures are full of mediocrity. He threw for 165 passing touchdowns, as well as 141 interceptions over the course of his career. Neither of those sounds terrible, but they do not justify why he made it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in our books. We doubt that he would have earned this level of fame as a QB if he did not play with Michael Irving and Emmett Smith.

Vinny Testaverde (1987-2007)

How many players have started over 200 games in the NFL? There are less than a hundred people who have achieved that, and even fewer QBs. Vinny Testaverde made it happen, however. He also holds the distinction of the only QB to throw a touchdown pass in a total of 21 consecutive seasons. Despite this, he was not an elite passer. This explains how he did not have the honor of being an All-Pro selection. He ended his career with a starting record of 90-123-1 and a 2-3 playoff record. He only had four victorious seasons in the 21 years that he played as a starter.
