Overrated? I looked over the current roster and was hard-pressed to find a single player half the fans and/or media don't complain about.
QB: "Bledsoe's slow, old, and throws too many picks. Romo and Henson are scrubs. We need a real QB."
RB: "Julius doesn't get through the hole quick enough, and he's always injured. We should have drafted Stephen Jackson when we had the chance."
WR: "TO's a cancer and both Owens and Glenn are too old to run onto the field. The Eagles and 49ers are laughing their butts off at Owens' nice guy act, because we all know it's a given that he WILL destroy the Dallas Cowboys."
TE: "Fasano? What a wasted pick! Why do we need another TE when we signed Hannam? Hannam? How is he supposed to fill Dan Campbell's shoes?"
OL: "Every o-line position is a question mark. This is easily the worst line in the NFL. Why didn't we sign Wahle instead of Rivera? If we pick up the phone when Lincoln Kennedy calls, it must mean our linemen are worthless."
DL: "Ellis is a cancer who needs to shut up and doesn't fit in this system. Spears can't stay healthy. Ferguson is old, overpaid, and will never be as good as Glover."
LB: "Singleton's worthless and always out of position. Shawne Merriman made the Pro Bowl -- we should have taken him over Ware. Carpenter was a reach and is injury prone. We should have taken Lawson instead."
CB: "Glenn is small and always gets burned. Henry got injured and nearly ruined our season. Why didn't we sign Ken Lucas or Fred Smoot?"
S: "Keith Davis is the worst player in the history of the NFL. He deserved to get shot repeatedly. Roy Williams is fat, slow, and covers less than Lil Kim's wardrobe."
ST: "Vanderjagt is a loudmouth idiot who's missed half his kicks in TC and flat-out can't kickoff."
Coaching staff: "Parcells has never won without Belichick. He's a jerk, a control freak, and he's holding our youngsters back with his own bloated ego. And he has breasts. The fact that Tony Sparano got promoted is a mistake of Neville Chamberlain-like proportions. Zimmer is too conservative and should have been fired long ago. Please let some other team be stupid enough to hire him as a head coach! Why didn't we sign Al Saunders and Gregg Williams like the Commanders did?"
These are really the only guys I could name that I don't hear many complaints about:
-Marion Barber
-Patrick Crayton
-Jason Witten
-Terence Newman
Witten and Newman were statistically at or near the top of the league in efficiency and production at their positions, so I could hardly call them overrated. Barber exceeded expectations, and the praise for him is fairly guarded.
So I guess, by default, I'm going with Patrick Crayton. Some folks consider him a capable #1 or #2 starter. He has shown some ability ... but the amount of praise he receives is probably over the top for a guy with 500 career yards.
