​Dave Portnoy is doubling down on two controversial NFL quarterback takes. After leaving both the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers out of his top 10 NFL teams for the 2026 season, Portnoy explained why he wasn’t willing to include either team, and he put the blame directly on their quarterbacks.According to Portnoy, Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert are the two most overrated players in the NFL.MORE:Previewing all 16 NFC teams & predicting every record in 2026Portnoy isn’t a Lamar Jackson believerDec 7, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (8) warms up before the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

Jackson has won two MVP awards and established himself as one of the NFL’s most dynamic quarterbacks, but his postseason résumé remains a major talking point among his critics.Jackson was also ranked 69th in the 2026 NFL Top 100 after finishing No. 2 the previous year.However, there is still plenty of support for Jackson. Sportsnet’s 2026 quarterback rankings placed him No. 2 overall, behind only Josh Allen, while noting that his combination of passing ability and rushing production makes him one of the league’s most dangerous players.So calling Jackson the NFL’s most overrated player is certainly going to generate some debate.MORE:NFL predictions: Previewing all 16 AFC teams & predicting every record in 2026Herbert criticism centers on playoff successJan 11, 2026; Foxborough, MA, USA; Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (10) scrambles during the fourth quarter against the New England Patriots in an AFC Wild Card Round game at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: David Butler II-Imagn ImagesHerbert is a slightly different case.There has been plenty of discussion about whether his regular-season production has translated into winning. NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks made the case earlier this year that Herbert’s elite reputation may be premature, pointing to his 0-3 playoff record entering 2026.At the same time, Herbert continues to receive significant recognition around the league. He made the 2026 NFL Top 100 at No. 39, and fantasy analysts currently rank him among the top quarterbacks entering the season.That’s ultimately what makes Portnoy’s comments so interesting.Both quarterbacks are widely regarded as elite or near-elite NFL talents, yet Portnoy believes their reputations have surpassed what they’ve actually accomplished when it matters most.And judging by the reaction to his original top-10 list, there will certainly be plenty of Ravens and Chargers fans ready to argue with him.— Enjoy free coverage of the top news & trending stories with The Big Lea
