Top Ten Most Overrated


Nick Ferraro

Recommended Posts

I didn't say he isn't good. I just said he's overrated.

I think he's easily one of the top 5 tight ends in football, and while he may have been over-rated 2 years ago, he's learned to hold onto the ball more this year and held down his end of the bargain

Vick on the other hand, declines each year

I gave Moss a pass for being hurt most of the year. he actually impressed me by playing through the pain. I didn't think he was a guy who would do that. He appears to be growing up.

Urlacher was always good. They needed a decent DT to keep linemen off him. They finally got that, so you see the true Urlacher this year.

1. M. Vick

2. J. Shockey

3. J. Delhomme

4. T. Law

5. J. Runyan

6. R. Wayne

7. R. Barber

8. B. Leftwich

9. S. Davis

10. P. Rivers

Shockey is one of the best TEs in the game today. He is highly regarded for a reason.

Stephen Davis isn't getting any younger but he is one of the most uderrated players in the league and has been for a very long time.

The rest of your list I agree with, except Philip Rivers should be moved up to 1A. If he is so good he should be starting over Brees already.

I wonder if your other 17 posts are as intelligent as this one.... :shock:

no worries...anyone that writes an overrated list thats compiled of JUST new york jets, and doesn't include doug jolley, j-mac, or bryan thomas(although he really WAS overrated...and we all know he sucks now...so i suppose he doesnt count haha)...and instead has a couple of rookies who arent talked about enough to be overrated, jonathan vilma, and an obviously greatly missed LB in eric barton....

hes a complete **idiot** :lol::lol::lol:

4. Clinton Portis

5. Jeremy Shockey

6. Champ Bailey

7. Jake Delhomme (pro bowl?)

A few I disagree. I dont think Big Ben's overrated. Young QB'S who know how to win aren't easy to find. He's solid.

What are you guys thinking about Shockey. Other than Gates, he's the best tight end in football. Just a freak athletically wise.

Whats your basis on Palamulu being overrated? We sure could use a guy like that patrolling the field at safety.

Other than that, your list was pretty accurate. Plaxico's soft.

Valid points--

With Big Ben, I think anytime a QB goes 15-1, especially as a rookie, and receives the media attention he does, he's gonna be open to claims of being overrated last year. I just thought from watching the Steelers last year that the team would win IN SPITE of Big Ben and not BECAUSE of him. I've been in a lot of stupid arguments over who is better-- Big Ben or Donovan McNabb-- those just make me laugh. I'm good friends with Art Rooney's daughter, and while she loves Ben, seems to feel the same way.

Shockey I think has been going downhill. For all the talking he does, he sure does drop a lot of endzone balls. Not to mention every time he gets hit or doesn't make a play he gets up with the old loser's limp.

I LOVE Polamalu's aggressiveness, but I think eventually he's gonna get exposed for just that--being over aggressive. He did a littttle bit in the Indy game on Monday Night, and I think good teams will soon realize how to beat him with playactions and by planning better routes in front of him to bait him.

Anquan Boldin is the most under-rated player in football. Can't have an under-rated list without mentioning him.

As for your over-rated list, how is Portis over-rated? Have you been asleep for the past month? It appears as though he's finally comfortable in Joe Gibbs' offense and his numbers prove it. Agree on the rest though, except Polamalu. And I HATE Polamalu.
