Not that bad of a list, Flowers should be higher IMO. Orton should be on there was well, he's much better Campbell.
Manning is very overrated IMO. He benefits greatly from 9 guaranteed indoor games a year, sometimes 10-12. He rarely has to play in real football weather and his stats are extremely poor when doing so.
Aikman was overrated in the sense that he was throwing behind maybe the greatest o line ever and had lots of other talent around him. But, on the other hand, we'll never know how good he would have been under pressure because he never had any, so it's hard to hold that against him.
I wasn't around to watch him play, but I've seen some sick clips of Fran Tarkenton from the 70's, and he looked like an absolute monster. From what I've seen and heard that guy could do everything, and did do everything but get a ring.
