Thread: Most overrated and underrated players

cbs.sportsline.com





I would say that I agree with most of these.

I had just finished reading this same article and was about to post it...but you beat me to it! Good article...I laughed about several of the overrated players...Brian Russell, Robert Griffith, Michael Vick, Muhsin Muhammmad, Brian Urlacher, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, Donovin Darius (Del should be happy here)...and hope that they are wrong about Darren Sharper.

I agree with a lot of what they said. Vick: def. overrated. Sharper: I hope not!

Alot of the media knows he is overated. It's the fans that think he is a great hard hitting saftey and that is simply untrue. :grin:

Some of that list looks questionable. But it all boils down to opinion.

It is opinion, that is true. I agree mostly with KGB, Sharper, and Darius as overrated. But,I think saying Vick is overrated is a little premature. He does receive a lot of hype, but he also is young and I don't believe he has really learned how to be an NFL quarterback yet. I think he will really start to dominate in the next couple of years the way that Culpepper does now.

I think Vick is overrated in the sense that he does not really posess QB throwing abiliity. If it was not for he legs, he was be SOL.

Do you really think so? I agree he is probably 80% runner right now, but he does have a good arm. It is strong and he has no problem throwing on the move, but he does need to work on his accuracy. I think being in a west coast offense will enable him to learn to make quick reads and hopefully improve his accuracy when trying to hit those quick hitches and slant routes that they use so often.

I think the fact that he can use either hand is very dangerous. And I think he could be even better in the future.

I think he is overrated because he is SO RATED. He is probably the most talked about QB around. And I think people get peeved because honestly he hasn't earned it yet.

He's in the spotlight and talked about like he is the greatest but he is far from it.

I hate the way Vick holds the ball when he runs. He always just palms the ball with one hand which is REALLY wrong and that's why he fumbles so much.

it's nice to see that someone else sees that Alexander is overrated. What they don't talk about is his habit of puttin the ball on the grass
