Dunning-Kruger Effect
A cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.

Quarterbacks Mentioned
Joe Burrow

Tom Brady
Brady’s career from Pro Football Reference
Of course, I referenced two former Big Ten quarterbacks that DID NOT attend Rafe's alma mater, Michigan State, and, in fact, went to fierce rivals of the Spartans.
Burrow attended Ohio State (but in two seasons at LSU, he led the Tigers to the National Championship in Heisman Trophy-winning 2019 campaign).
Brady went to U of Michigan. He won 7 Super Bowls and is widely considered the greatest pro quarterback in history.
Perhaps, instead, I should have mentioned the great Earl Morrall, Brian Hoyer, Tony Banks, or Kirk Cousins. For this I apologize to Spartan Nation.
