While there were so many busts in the NFL, Mandrich, Couch, Bosworth, Gino Toretta, amongst others, I don't think they are overrated since they are known to be busts. OVerrated means someone who is looked at as being great but truly isn't, so my vote goes to "SIdeline" Franco Harris. The guy was a mediocre running back who wasn't fast nor tough, and was the lucky bastard to have the ball basically land in his hands for the "Immaculate Reception." The Steelers would have been great without Franco Harris with Bleier or anyone else carrying the ball instead.

Easily Brett Lorenzo Favre, with a bullet. Huck has won a total of ONE championship in 17 (seventeen!!) seasons, compared to Montana, Aikman, Bradshaw, Brady, et al, who won more in less time. Huck managed to lose at home in the postseason to a BAD Atlanta team QB'd by Mike Vick (!). He gave away a playoff game to Philadelphia a few years back, and who can forget 6 picks in St. Louis. Huck is the Marino of this generation (the previous #1 overrated). Any pundit will argue that QB is THE single most important position in team sports (with the possible argument for hockey goalie), and Huck just doesn't get it done. He ought to be on his knees thanking God three times a day that Desmond Howard and Reggie White gave him a ring against a horrid New England team that didn't deserve to be there in the first place. And let's not forget, he lost to Elway head up, despite being one of the largest betting favorites in Super Bowl history. Elway took three awful teams to the Super Bowl in the 80s, and won a pair in the 90s when he finally got some help. Huck is a great player, a first ballot Hall of Famer, and a lot of fun to watch, but he is not one of the top 5 QBs (maybe top 10) in history (I'd put Montana, Unitas, Elway, Graham, Brady, and maybe others ahead of him, but if you watch the bucketheads on tv, or have to listen to the green and gold beer-guzzling Wisconsin cheeseheads, they'd argue he's the best ever. PLEASE. Three MVPs?? He deserved one (Barry Sanders was INSULTED to have to share it in 97, and Steve Young was every bit as good in 95 and 96). OVERrated means "highly thought of" by definiton, so it's gotta be Huck. Nobody thinks the fridge or even Bradshaw (a good argument tho) was the "best ever", Bosworth was a bust, not overrated (at least in the pros)like Couch and Leaf. OJ was a stud, dunno what that dude's thinking in that answer, and Peyton (nice spelling, btw) will have all of Favre's records and more Super Bowls when he's done, regardless of whether or not his Oreo commercials are creepy. Huck Favre, ftw. Dare to argue. =p
