Most overrated NFL player?

Most overrated NFL Player?
1. Tom Brady
2. Jeremy Shockey
3. Any player from SCUM

Vick is the most overrated on that list but you need to have LaVar Arrington on that list.

going out on a limb here......Falcon fan?

Just since Jenkins went there. Don't really follow NFL all that much, just check on the buckeyes.

tom brady easily

Typical idiocy from a Raider fan

 

[BuckNutty]

I hate scUM and don't like the Patriots much better, if any, but Tom Brady doesn't belong on this list, IMO.

I'd nominate Brian Urlacher.

 

[bucknut74]

How did Lavar Arrington and Brett Farve not make the list?

 

[GoBucks89]

Since Donovan McNabb and Ray Lewis aren't on the list it's gotta be Jeremy Schlockey.

Brady is pure scUM but he's not overrated. Neither is Vick. I'd take either of them at 50% health over McNabb. He's rapidly becoming Jim Kelly without the stats.

Typical idiocy from a Raider fan

sorry.....predictability takes away any ill intent from that post tibor.

 

[Thump]

Since Donovan McNabb and Ray Lewis aren't on the list.

I don't know how you guys say that Ray Lewis is overrated. Dude was NFL defensive player of the year.

 

[GoBucks89]

Keith Bullock and Donnie Edwards both had more tackles. They also had 13 pass deflections to Lewis' 5. But we still hear about him being the best in the business. It's not that he can't play, it's just that he's overrated.

Most Overpayed - Vick (but his teams percentage with him compared to without him makes him not the most overrated to me)

I've already drank the Colin cowherd Kool-Aid, so I'm going to say that Vick is neither overpayed or overated. His win teams win percentage with and without him negates any overrated talk. Especially considering his supporting cast in previous years. As for overpayed. Any person that brings in as much revenue as Vick does can not possibly be overpayed. The ticket sales alone have skyrocketed since the Falcons put Vick in the starting lineup. Jersey sales and other team apparel sales have also gone up a ridiculous amount since his signing. Whatever Vick is making, the Falcons and the NFL are raking in much more.

I pick Warren Sapp. For obvious reasons. Big mouth, no production for several years, and not even an interesting story anymore.

Tom Brady has performed well, but I think the comparisons to Joe Montana make him overrated. The SB wins over the Rams and the Eagles belong to the defense IMO, and the Panthers gave Brady the game sending the kickoff out of bounds.

 

[AJHawkfan]

It's hard for me to pick Brady, he's got 3 rings.
Vick is overrated, but is still very good.
Keyshawn is way overrated, but not on the list.
For my money, Warren Sapp is the most overrated guy on that list. All he is a fat assed loud mouth. Overpaid, overhyped and just not very good.

I have to say Shockey is the most overrated. All he has done is run his mouth. He ain't worth a damn.

Now to the people that say Vick is overrated you have got to be kidding me.

Where to begin. Ok lets start with his rookie year He took a sorry team in the Falcons to the playoffs with absolutely no recievers.

2nd year he gets hurt and his team sucks.

3rd year he gets his team to a first round bye in the playoffs and takes them to the NFC championship game.

Now he has recievers around him and he will be better suited in the west coast offense.

For those that say he hasnt won anything, well he has been pretty damn close.

He was 15 minutes away from a NC with Va Tech. Where were they b4 him. He took them to being a higher level.

He beat Bret Farve everybodys favorite qb in his own house under freezing temperatures. Can anyone remember what Farve's record was. Like 34-0 or some shit like that.

He was one game from the superbowl last year.

I don't care if you think he can't throw and all that bull shit he is still a young qb that is learning all that, but dammit all he does is win football games and if that makes people think he is overrated well then they don't know what it means.

Ill go blow by blow with what you had to say.

1. saying that Vick has gotten to the playoffs isnt exactly a career defining moment. The NFC as a whole is pretty bad and if you arent one of the 6 teams that can make it, youre even worse.

2. he hasnt gotten close to winning, he beat who, st. louis in the playoffs? No the only other good team in the NFC, the Eagles, he got rocked by. And even if he managed to win that game, he still had to face another good team (oh my god you gotta play good teams in the playoffs???? )

3. Virginia Tech is still good without him, its called coaching. 3 words: Defense. Frank Beamer.

4. He didnt have to play directly against Brett Favre in the playoffs. He played their joke of a defense and ill give him credit, made some plays, but still, their defense.

5. Ok, hes been playing football for probably 15 years and by now i think everyone should accept hes an average passer. To the guy who said he did good in the Pro Bowl, give me a break. Anyone can do sweet with a roll call of the best in the business blocking and receiving for him, and playing against a defense that is just concentrated on not getting hurt.

Lewis may have lost a step after 9 years or so, but he is not overrated. Champ Bailey is the most overrated-he got prison raped by both Chad Johnson and Jerry Porter last year-if teams actually challenge him consistently w/ quality receivers, he is not the force he is made out to be.
