Witten is the pick really? Maybe Witten in his mid 30s was overrated but he was a great TE and had a HOF career.

You’re a big fan of guys who never got it done in a big spot.
Michael Strahan is a guy who got it done in a big spot - stop embarrassing yourself and when you speak to me make sure you’re prepared with ammunition because nobody nobody knows football on this board like I do,
Glover was a nice player that was about it- we got him on the back end of his career with the Saints.

Too many of you remember him from his later years when he slowed down. Even then he was a great chain mover. He missed like one game in his entire career. He’ll be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Dak and I don't believe its particularly close either. If we're playing a bully I can't think of a marquee player I've seen in my viewing lifetime that I trust less to deliver than Dak.

He may be the most underrated player by his own fans. Many claim he sucks. Don’t know how anyone could put him on an overrated list with all the disrespect he gets here.

Idk about that one, maybe for sacks but consistently a very high graded run defender

No way he gets into the HOF.
He was above average at best.
Way too slow. Did nothing after the catch and didn't catch a lot of Touchdowns.
Antonio Gates had 116 TD receptions compared to Witten's 74 (in like 17 seasons).

Witten is far from overrated. I'll go with Roy Williams the safety. He couldn't cover you or me.

Not only was Witten overrated. He was a rat.
Nothing worse than a rat - Cowboys zone is loaded with them btw

I don't think he is overrated. If you do a Google search of negative Dak articles I think you will find a healthy number of them stating that he is not all that and a hill of beans.
What pisses people off is the wage he is receiving for the results on the field. As far as accolades and analysis of his performance as a QB in the NFL I don't think this guy is overrated.
Below is the summary taken from an AI bot. I think this clearly shows he is not overrated.
Analysis of Negative Articles on Dak Prescott’s Performance
- Postseason Struggles:
- Dak Prescott is often criticized for his performance in the playoffs. Despite being a strong regular-season quarterback, his postseason record is less impressive, with a 2-5 record and a 14-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Critics argue that he fails to deliver when it matters most, as seen in the 2023 season when his interceptions contributed to a significant loss against the Green Bay Packers.
- Inconsistent Performances:
- Prescott’s inconsistency is another focal point of criticism. For instance, after a stellar performance against Tampa Bay in the Wild Card round, he struggled significantly in the following game against the San Francisco 49ers, throwing two crucial interceptions. This inconsistency has led to doubts about his ability to lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl.
- High-Pressure Situations:
- Articles often highlight Prescott’s difficulties in high-pressure situations. In a game against the Washington Football Team, a late-game pick-six allowed the opposing team to close the gap significantly. Such moments have fueled the narrative that Prescott struggles under pressure.
- Public and Media Perception:
- The media and public reactions to Prescott’s performances are often harsh. Social media platforms and sports analysts frequently criticize his mistakes, amplifying the scrutiny he faces. This public perception can impact his confidence and performance on the field.

You must’ve missed the Romo era.

Marion Barber III. (RIP).
Good back who should've been used situationally but was treated like a future HOF Emmitt Smith clone. He never gained 1000 yards in a season but was still oddly considered one of the more elite RB's in football then and now. I'll call him most overrated because his overrating led to his overuse as a closer and cut his career short and broke his health.

He was a great closer and that's where he should have stayed.

I hear you, but for a 20 million run defender I'm gonna need a bit more than that. At least 10 sacks

I named son Witten. I couldn't disagree with you more. This is surely a troll thread.
