See this is reasonable. To me he'd be closer to the bottom of that Top 10 or maybe just outside of it, but this is a take I can fully respect.
Just because I realize how overrated he has become by sportswriters and the public doesn't mean I don't think he was great. He was a damn good quarterback.
I'm just sick of people putting him in the Top 5 through their nostalgia glasses and their (seemingly) only arguments are a Reeves argument that no dataset supports, and the "You just had to watch him play". There's a reason eyewitness testimony has proven to be very unreliable in court, because it can be easily manipulated.
Stats mean something Dammit!!!
