No position in all of sports is more praised or criticized than quarterback. Players brave enough to play this position get way too much credit when a team wins and way too much blame when a team loses.
Not only that, but we are constantly comparing quarterbacks to one another. Even those who have long ago retired, just to see how they stack up. In keeping with that tradition, let’s take a look at the 25 most overrated quarterbacks of all-time.
