Top 20 most overrated NFL players of all time (With Pictures)

8. Brett Favre

Has any quarterback in history ever been given as many free passes as were awarded to Brett Favre by commentators during his Hall-of-Fame career? Fans and analysts called him “The Gunslinger” because of his willingness to throw passes into double- and triple-coverages. He was seen to be a risk-taker who had the arm to be able to make such questionable throws. It conveniently gets forgotten by many that Favre threw two of the most costly interceptions to ever be tossed during conference championship games. Guys such as Peyton Manning and Phil Simms would have been verbally crucified for making the mistakes consistently made by Favre.
