I lean toward yes. He lost three straight NFC championship games 2001-3, and all three were winnable games against less than spectacular opponents in which he delivered subpar performances.
Then he made it to the big dance against the QB of the generation, Tom Brady. Brady showed up, so did T.O., but McNabb was simply awful. He threw 3 costly picks, including one in the Red Zone. He finally ended the misery by botching clock management and vomiting repeatedly in the 4th quarter, joining thousands of Eagles fans who were disgusted with his performance.
Bottom line, the guy has folded in big games his whole career. He's a good QB, but don't dare rank him within sniffing distance of the top-5. I'm saying it, he's overrated, and my name aint Rush Limbaugh.

I would say, at the moment, Tony Romo is the most overrated. The only player I know in recent history to get into the Pro Bowl based on hype.

I like Donovan McNabb a lot. However you make some valid points. He has had some of the best receivers, but still hasn't gotten it done. If Garcia carries them to the big dance and actually wins, then I'll be entitled to agree with you even more. We'll see what happens in the 2007 playoffs.

Ahhhhhhh, no. Peyton Manning is the most overrated. We get these stupid commercials with him 24/7 and what has he ever won? At least McNabb has been to FOUR NFC championships and a Superbowl. Manning? One AFC Championship (which he lost) - big deal.

Did you see he stats before he got injured this year? He was having his best season ever. The Eagles would have finished 12-4 and had a first round bye had he not gotten injured and would have gone to the Superbowl. Wait, they still might go to the Superbowl. If the Eagles make it without him then i agree he's overrated. If they get knocked out by the Giants then no, he's not. To early to tell.

No, he is a great player. Before his injury he was the best QB in the nfl this season. Mike Vick is the most overrated

I don't think so. Sure he lost three straight NFC championship games but how many QB would have been glad to trade places with him. I think he could play better in big games though.

He's a little overrated, but I can name 20 players that r more overrated than him, like Mike Vick, or Jermey Shockey.

Ask this question to Rush Limbaugh.
