well, half way through the season. lots we have learned. so I was just thinking about the most over rated group and the least one, which kind of surprised us.

I am not going to be anything on defense, either category because they are exactly what I thought they would be, perhaps even worse and I am just not surprised.

but I think the most over rated group is the OL. I mean half this board talked about the strength of the team and how they will just dominate and blah blah blah... well, they have certainly underwhelmed. I was never really happy about the tackles and had concerns, somehow they are worse than I thought. the interior hasn't been great. booker has underwhlemed and Smith hasn't been his usual self. I am a bit disappointed in this gorup.

the under rated group was tough...now, some may talk about WR group as under rated, but they are what we expected them to be. they were supposed to be true strength of the team and they are a dominant, versatile group. forget TEs, as I seriously considered them for over rated group, but I think the RB...well more specifically Williams (one RB) has saved this group. I thought we threw bodies at the problem and it certainly seemed that way initially, but they have bounced back a bit. I am just disappointed we didn't keep Dowdle, who was a 1000 yard back and better than sanders. not sure why we didn't go that route and just pair Dowdle and Williams which would have been a good pairing.
 
Underrated here: QB.

A lot here love to try and devalue the importance of the most important position in sports.

Overrated here: OLine.

Easy. We’ve had a top OLine for a decade and did nothing with it. We’re so used to having a top OLine that anytime it’s not completely dominant people act like it sucks.
 
Th oline has battled injury and normal rookie learning curve. Dak is having a good season not by himself
 
With the exception of Steele, the O line is young. Even Smith only has four years with three at Guard. Booker is a rookie and Guyton and Beebe are second years.
and how much playing time have they had together as a unit? Your best O lines have both talent and time playing together
