Donovan McNabb
Despite his absence from the Super Bowl, Donovan McNabb remains greatly undervalued. He is one of only three quarterbacks on this list with 30,000 throwing yards, 200 passing touchdowns, 3,000 rushing yards, and 20 rushing touchdowns. McNabb matches the record for most postseason wins without a championship with Jim Kelly, and he has more passing yards and a higher passer rating than the Hall of Famer. In 2004, he had one of the best seasons ever for a quarterback, being the first to have 30 touchdowns and less than ten interceptions. Nonetheless, McNabb must receive the Hall of Fame recognition he deserves.

Ben Roethlisberger
When “Big Ben” eventually hangs up his cleats, he will likely rank among the highest in practically every passing metric tracked by the NFL. With two Super Bowl victories to his name, he has consistently matched the likes of Brady, Brees, Rodgers, and Manning in terms of regular-season passing numbers. While he only led the league in passing yards once, he reached the 3,000-yard mark in every season from 2006 to 2018, including six seasons with over 4,000 yards. Roethlisberger’s reputation is characterized by his clutch performances; he is now ranked sixth all-time in comebacks and game-winning drives led.
