I actually came across an ad for this list while looking at football-reference.com so I had to click on it due to Nickle's recent LeBron comments.

Namath is easily the most overrated athlete of all time.

Any mediocre player from NYC.

I had no idea that Namath's numbers were so poor. Only 4 winning seasons where he started at least 10 games and just 2 seasons with more TDs than INTs.

Aikman definitely hit the luck train too having that much talent around him. Solid QB but not close to a HOFer if he's on any other team.
