If your going to use that criteria, you could argue that Brett Farve is over rated. But we all know that isn't the case.

Nice speech, but I wasn't using the criteria you suggest.
None of the players I've mentioned were ever as good as the media made them out to be. That doesn't mean they sucked. Simply that they were, well, overrated.
