Thread: Carter on Bennett

Didn't see this one posted yet...Cris Carter on Michael Bennett:


Most overrated: Michael Bennett
He's had one good year, but hasn't shown the ability to stay healthy.

With the Minnesota Vikings' offensive line and their ability to throw the ball, you'd think they could develop some type of running game on a yearly basis. If they had managed to do so, that offense would be the best in the league.

But the thing that holds back the Vikings' offense is that none of the running backs have really stepped up. The biggest culprit has been Bennett, who rushed for a career-low 276 yards despite playing 11 games.

I have to say that I disagree with calling Bennett the most overrated RB in the NFL but I guess we'll find out this season. I'm a supporter of Bennett and hope he proves all the naysayers wrong.

how is bennett over rated he is not even rated that high.

Best in the business: LT
Most underrated: Corey Dillion
Most overrated: Clinton Portis
Ready to break through: Stephen Jackson
Rookie to watch: Eric Shelton
Backup to watch: Larry Johnson
Biggest 2005 surprise: Hmmm... Ill just go with Travis Henry

Overrated??? I'd say the other way around there Chris.

yeah i dont think hes rated high at all, anyone RB who gets 70 carries in one season can't be overated, 11 games, 70 carries, thats only 7 carries a game, you can't judge a guy on that little amount of runs

.....Eric Shelton is your rookie to watch

Clinton Portis, a back who has never rushed for less than 1,200 yards is your most overrated

...and Travis Henry, who will end up spelling Chris Brown on 3rd down is your biggest surprise

Yeah....

Carter ... running his mouth again. I truely wish he would go away. No disrespect to you Carter lovers out there, but he played and now should disapper. Keeps calling out the Vikes, get a life.

Talk about overrated. All Cris Carter ever did was catch touchdowns.

And run his mouth to everyone around him till the point they wanted to puke. It's been said he was the real cancer in the locker room, not Randy back in the day. He needs to get over it, report on the entire NFL instead of taking pot shots at the Vikes .... IMO

Foster will get hurt who knows if Davis will even play so why not Eric Shelton?

Who is more overrated than Clinton Portis? The guy is considered a top back but had one of the worst YPC last year only ahead of 50year old Emmitt Smith. He had the least amount of 20+yd runs and the least amount of TDs out of like top20 RBs.

Once again like Carolina, Chris Brown will get hurt constantly probably because he runs standing straight up which leads to injuries. Let me hear who you think will suprise next year?
