broncosn05 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Who in your opinion is the most overrated player in the NFL today. I will have to say Clinton Portis. Did well in Denver but hell which RB doesn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
policyvote Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Daunte Culpepper. If he weren't such a fantasy goldmine everyone would realize that this guy has an incredible knack for making the big mistake and choking when it counts. Yet somehow, every year, this guy has a couple of big games against nobody in the first few weeks and he's the consensus MVP . . . until, of course, he and the Vikes choke and collapse yet again.

tonyr0802 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hassleback gets my vote. He did everything he could to run my team into the ground until I benched him, at which time he remembers how to score again. Won't touch him again, ever.

Guest Sores Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hasselhoff is a good call....but Vick getting the biggest contract ever after leading the league in sacks (and rushing for a QB) gets the nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He DOES lead the league in sacks...and has a 1-1 TD to INT ratio 634630[/snapback] Yeah was looking at the wrong stat but still I don't think he is the most overrated because he is truly the leader of the Falcons and has come up big in the games he has needed to win sweeping the Panthers. And if they wouldn't have benched Crumpler + Vick last week they would've sweeped the Saints. Vick messes up defenses by himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Who in your opinion is the most overrated player in the NFL today. 634553[/snapback] If you count potential being overrated, it's gotta be Eli Manning. Giants for sure overrated him. So far. Otherwise, I think I'd go with his brother, Peyton. 49 TDs - what's the big deal? It's only 3 a game, or one every 20 minutes. And it's not as if he works hard for them, two or three throws and he's done, sitting on his rear on the sidelines again watching REAL quarterbacks conducting REAL drives. Lazy pig.

max Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 From a media stand point I would say Marshall Faulk. They all seem to still put him up there because of how he was. They need to come out and say that he just doesnt "have it" anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Vick for sure. He's not that good. Fast feet, shakey arm. Baltimore Def. Waaaaaay over-rated this year. Sure they look good against the bad teams. But match them up with someone above 500, and they are just average. Big Ben - Yea I know, undefeated, that's because of the rest of the team not him. In 2 years, he may very well develop into one of the best. But he's just along for the ride right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrick35 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 (edited) Who in your opinion is the most overrated player in the NFL today. I will have to say Clinton Portis. Did well in Denver but hell which RB doesn't! 634553[/snapback] Portis definitely had better numbers in Denver but considering how badly the Washington Offensive line played this year combined with the way Gibbs called the games I'm not sure Portis didn't have a stellar year. I mean despite no passing game and the most predictable play calling possible behind a less than mediocre offensive line the guy still averaged nearly 4 yds per carry (3.8) and if he plays this week he'll probably go over 1400 yds rushing for the year. As far as TD's let's face it, no one would have scored any more TD's on that team at RB than Portis did. I know 1300 yds and 5 TD's isn't great by itself but when you consider where he got those yds and TD's I would say he did as well as any RB could have.

Furd Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Big Ben . . . 634796[/snapback] Big Ben is Ben Wallace. If Wallace and Roethlisberger stood next to each other, this "Big Ben" Roethlisberger nonsense would stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I honestly don't think those of you who mentioned Roethlisberger have watched many of the Steelers games this year. I have watched every single play (usually watch the game twice) and this kid is amazing. He plays on a great team, but he has made so many plays with his improvisational skills. I sometimes tend to be pessimistic about players, but I am very confident that Ben is going to be great for many years to come ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Daunte Culpepper.

Peace policy 634584[/snapback] Spoken like a disgruntled "Daunte's kicked my ass so many times I can't remember" Lions fan. You do know that he'll end up 6th on the all time single season passing TD's after this season, right? And you do know that this year so far he has thrown 37 TD's. 11 INT's and 4418 yards with a 69.8% completion record ina year where they struggled with RB injuries and had the best WR in the league gimpy or our for half the season. Just because a guy constantly kicks your teams ass really doesn't qualify as making him overrated. Now if you want to talk about Joey Harrington.....

But as for Roethlisberger I think you are way off. To say he is just along for the ride is to ignore the fact that a Rookie QB has stepped in and performed at a nearly unprecedented level for a Rookie QB. Aside from winning his first 12 starts, or whatever he's up to now... He's completing over 66% of his passes. He has more than 1 TD per game with 17 Passing and 1 Rushing TD in 14 games He has only 11 INT's in those same 14 games He's averaging nearly 9 yds per attempt And his Passer Rating is 98.1 Not only do those numbers indicate that he has definitely not just "been along for the ride" but they make him a virtual lock for Rookie Of The Year.
