Former number one overall pick. 4 - 6 in the post season. Was voted to the pro bowl four times during his 14 year career. 1x MVP. Never led the NFL any regular season in passing yardage nor passing touchdowns. 

This is despite of playing with guys like Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez, etc. In a dome, nine times a year.

He'll forever be remembered as the QB that blew it in epic fashion on the greatest stage in the worst loss in Superbowl history. He's overrated. Sorry, not sorry. Atlanta should have done this years ago instead of waiting until now to trade him. 

He's a very, very poor man's Peyton Manning.

I never claimed he was some elite talent. Pretty solid resume if you ask me though. Rarely had a decent defense to pair with the offenses that produced while he was QB. Pro bowl is a joke. And I don't think HE blew it in the SB. Shanahan, the defense, everyone shares blame for the 28-3 fiasco. I also think the whole dome thing you keep repeating is a bit overblown.
