Default NFL Most Overrated Quarterback

Some difficulty limiting this poll to 5 options but I suspect several of you have short attention spans.

Mike Vick gets my vote here.

we have seen that he is a one dimensional type QB at best.

Is this a trick question? Mike Vick isn't a quarterback, so I had to vote for Jake Plummer.

Bledsoe shouldnt even be up there, he isnt rated period.

My next choice would be Eli, in his young career, everyone thinks he is the next Peyton.

i had a feeling this poll would bring out all the Vick "haters" and i do agree that he is significantly overrated, but contrast his array of weaponry on offense with that of eli's.

i promise you if eli were playing for the falcons...then he would be handing the ball off to reggie bush next season.

Too bad Vick wasn't a cornerback. How sick would that be? Imagine Deion Sanders in his prime times ten.

What do you guys think about Vince Young in the NFL? Will he become a wideout like Randel-El for Pittsburgh? I was kinda rolling that thought around in my mind. Vince Young will crash and burn if he's unlucky enough to start in the NFL.

Andre Ware Part II...

Unfortunately for him he will be drafted as a quarterback because he has a better arm than ARE and he possesses the physical skills suiting an NFL QB. People will talk him into believing he can be a QB on draftday. After that, the speed of the NFL game will expose his decision-making weaknesses and render him worthless.

I voted for Vick....but the only thing with Vick is the guy has a pretty high winning percentage so you can't knock him there....You could make a case for Manning since he has so much hype but that's not his fault.

Culpepper should have been up there.

Vick, McNabb, and Culpepper for sure. Plummer is overrated too.

as well he should be.

this guy might get you to the playoffs. but, he will never take his team any farther than a decent playoff run once every few years. because, with the type of football he plays. injuries will take him down more often than not.

again, all that is very true, but somebody please try to convince me that the falcons with their personnel would win more than 5 games a season with any other quarterback in this poll. with eli i don't see how they even have 2 wins.
