Of course Young was not as good as Johnson. Nobody was. That in itself does not make Young overrated. If it did then it would follow that Hank Aaron was overrated because he was not as good as Willie Mays. Also, while I agree that Mathewson benefitted a great deal from the teams he played on he was not on twelve championship teams. His career ended in 1916 after he had played on "only" five champs.
