That's the point. Archie Manning was a decent QB, but he doesn't get HOF looks. Nor does Eason... in fact, very few people would know who Eason was if they aren't Patriots fans. Herschel Walker was overrated at the time, but not by posterity. Brian Bosworth can't be overrated, he played all of 5 games or so in the NFL; he's more like a joke.
Maybe you meant "overhyped." That's not overrated. An "all-time overrated" list is guys who were good, but their legacies have been propped up to something greater than they actually were.
My contention is that considering how they produced and what was spent to aquire them makes them overrated. Saying some one who has helped his team win a Superbowl is overrated becouse somebody else thinks they are great is a bogus argument. Your comparing oppions which are like ***holes everybody has one and they all are full of ____ at times. I'm saying that my choices were overrated by being paid what they were paid combined with where they were drafted (not counting total busts), or what was traded for them.
I will admit your probably right about Bosworth not having enough starts to qualify, but the overhype surround him exceeded anything I ever seen befor or since about any draft pick. He was single handledly going to fix the Seahawks defense. Plus I felt the need to include at least one OK Sooner on the list. Personal anomisity.
