Is two years in the NFL enough to earn somebody overrated honors?

It is for Reggie Bush...

Minnesota Vikings

Overrated: LT Bryant McKinnie. You look at his physical skills and you should see an elite tackle. You just don't. He's OK, but has never lived up to the hype.

Underrated: LB E.J Henderson. He moved back to the middle last season and showed he's there to stay. He is a big reason the Vikings played the run so well in 2007.

I can agree with that assessment.

I promise to get back into the 53-man roster breakdown tomorrow. . .it's been a pretty hectic day over on this end when it comes to "real world" stuff.
Just thought I'd hit a couple of tidbits here...

Overrated: WR Hines Ward.
Highly disagree. He is who we think he is, and that is a damn good reciver.

Overrated: WR Drew Bennett.
There it is. I still remember this one fan yelling at him and he said something like "I have you in fantasy, but I will never play you because you suck" If someone can find that video, I will love them till the end of time

Couldn't agree more.

Overrated: QB Vince Young. He's young and still learning, but you'd think he's a superstar the way the media talks him up. He's far from it.

I've been saying that for 2 years, but some still want to sniff his crotch.

the guy sounds like he knows his stuff, he was perfect with the vikes, he just got Hines Ward wrong

this is one of the few good reads on the off season.

i thought those two in my head before i got to the vikes' part.

Only a few? You need to stop in more often.

Overrated: DE Julius Peppers. He's considered a top pass rusher by many, but had just 2½ sacks last season. That's not good enough. I still think he can get back to his old form, but as of now he's overrated.

That is why I did not want him.

Overrated: WR Chad Johnson. He has loads of ability, but he doesn't produce as much as he should in the big games. He did not score a touchdown in four of the Bengals' five games against playoff teams in 2007. He certainly isn't as good as he thinks.

I would put Carson before Chad.
