Most Overated Player in the NFL

[dalboy]

Just wondering who yal think it is.


Mine would have to be Philip Rivers. What has he done to make people believe he is a top 5 QB when he is not. He has always had Gates and watch after this year he going to wish he had LT back.

Not even a close 2nd to Brett Favre

I'd have to go with Aaron Rogers. The guys really good but for some reason, he doesn't have to win playoff games for the media to say how wonderful he is. I'd also put Peyton Manning in the mix. He is no doubt a HOFer but he is not the greatest of all time or god like. Not even close.

I think Favre is overly-covered in the media because of his dramatics but I don't think he's overrated.

33 TDS, 7 Ints, 4200 yards passing, and a 107 QB rating.... all at age 40. Say what you want about the raving egomaniac, however, to call him over-rated is a big stretch IMHO.

He's an easy guy to hate but man o man, he is playing lights out here in his late 30's - early 40s.... a good decade after his won the last of his 3 MVP titles.

Ray lewis, he's a has been, gets pro bowl votes on reputation. So glad we did not spend 7m / yr on him last year.

He gets Pro Bowl votes because he draws as much attention to himself as he can - and reputation.

Have to say former Oklahoma Sooner and current Vikings RB, Adrian Peterson. He was great in college and in his rookie year but has peaked already and also has fumbilitis. We bottled him up good in the playoffs.

Bob Sanders belongs at the top of any overrated list.

McFlabb should garner alot of consideration as well.

I've never seen someone fumble the ball so many times.

I forget what game (it was at the end of the season) but I think he had like 4 or 5 fumbles.

 

[Hostile]

Bob Sanders or DeAngelo Hall.

 

[DFWJC]

Interesting list so far. Talk about the eye of the beholder---Rivers and Ridgers overrated? Guess we all have our opinions...so fair enough.

 

[CATCH17]

Offense: Chad Johnson

Defense: Shawn Merriman

 

[DFWJC]

DeAngelo Hall.

this.....

 

[CATCH17]

Hall is no longer overrated. Everyone finally caught onto his act and knows he is below average.

 

[jterrell]

Eli Manning imho.
