Several factors contribute to Stafford being the most underrated QB ever.
He played the majority of his career, when he was in his prime physically, with a disaster organization in a small market.
He doesn't wow anyone with his running ability, he's a pure drop back QB like Marino, PManning and Brady.
He hasn't won enough, and no one cares that he hasn't had the same situation as those other drop back guys.
He's thrown a lot of INTs. And a lot of that is him trying too hard to force things in a bad situation. A bad habit he developed after years in Detroit.
I truly believe if Stafford and McVay were together for all of Stafford's career he'd be a shoe-in for first ballot HOF. He'd also have several SB wins by now.
It's mind boggling to me that people actually think Purdy is a better QB than Stafford. I guarantee you Shanny would swap Purdy for Stafford in a heartbeat.
