Rate a Position....Part 4..LB

[OSUScoonie12]

Lets switch it up and go on the defensive side...

I havn't done my research on this yet, but i will post it once i found my 3 guys.

Best LB:

Overrated LB:

Underrated LB:

 

[Buckeye86]

Overrated: Pusluszny, call me bitter, I don't care, he is overrated.

 

[scooter1369]

Best: Patrick Willis, Ole Miss

Overrated: Paw Pussluvsknee, SPU

Underrated: Brandon Siler, Florida

 

[Dryden]

Best: Paul Posluszny, Penn State - Now he's the best LB in the Big-Ten, and in the country.

Overrated: Xavier Adibi, Virginia Tech - Getting a lot of mileage based on having seven home games on Thursday nights on ESPN and a distinct name.

Underrated: Rufus Alexander, Oklahoma - A monster, he should be ahead of Patrick Willis as the #2 LB in the nation on pre-season lists.

 

[BB73]

Best - Paul I-won-the Butkus-1-year-early

Overrated - Ali Highsmith, LSU - Gets extra pub due to his name, and it'll be much harder now that most of that excellent DL in front of him is gone

Underrated - Stephen Nicholas, South Florida

 

[stowfan]

Best Buster Davis
That's just for old time sake.

Overrated Prescot Burgess
That's just plain sour grapes

Underrated John Kerr
I have a really bad habit of being an "I told you so".
You guys may rue the day you read Kerr:
barring injury will shock you this year. Comparisons to
Speilman will be forth coming.

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

Best: 1a. Patrick Willis [Ole Miss]. I watched Ole Miss games just to see this guy play. Doesn't get talked about because of the team he plays for in the talent laden SEC.

1b. Paul Posluszny [Penn State] Gets the job done and was right there with AJ Hawk [the best last year] in terms of almost everything.

Overrated: Buster Davis [Florida State]. I think we'll see this now that he is the "man" on that FSU defense on the front 7.

*I dont see how anyone can put Paul Posluszny in overrated. This is a new year. If this was last year, I'm with you.

Underrated: Kevin McLee [West Virginia].

 

[scooter1369]

*I dont see how anyone can put Paul Posluszny in overrated.

I can. If PSU's D-line can make a few tackles this year, Pussluvsknee's total drops. He was the benefactor of a weak D-line.

 

[HineyBuck]

Best: Paul Pusswusski
Overrated: Prescott Burgess
Underrated: Marcus Freeman (I feel the same about Freeman as Stowfan feels about Kerr)

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

I can. If PSU's D-line can make a few tackles this year, Pussluvsknee's total drops. He was the benefactor of a weak D-line.

I dont agree with "weak" d-line at all.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I dont see how anyone can put Paul Posluszny in overrated

I can. Blind hatred and complete bias against Penn State. Some people need to get over it.

Best: Pat Willis
Overrated: Paul Suckluzny
Underrated: who cares, Suckluzny sucks

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

I can. Blind hatred and complete bias against Penn State. Some people need to get over it.

I did forget that aspect, touche.

 

[BayBuck]

*I dont see how anyone can put Paul Posluszny in overrated.

Easy, he's the undeserving "returning Butkus winner" who benefitted from the team around him last year: Jason White was similarly overrated as the "defending Heisman winner" in 2004.

 

[OSUScoonie12]

Best LB: Willis - just a pure animal

Overrated LB: Posluzny - i don't see how he won the Butkus over Hawk

Underrated LB: Alexander (OU) - great athlete and very underrated for his position

 

[craigblitz]

Comparisons to
Speilman will be forth coming..... Holy S*** are you serious. I am sorry but if we are comparing anyone to Speilman he had better have played more then one year and he had better bring home some hardware!!!! WOW

Best - Patrick Willis with Posluszny a near 1b.

Overrated - Keith Rivers USC

Underrated - Anthony Waters - Clemson<!-- / message -->
