Underrated/Overrated

Which NFL players are the most overrated or underrated?

Overrated: Matt Ryan is my first choice. People claim he is on the verge of being elite, but wouldn't most quarterbacks be almost elite with two #1 WR's and a #2 playing slot?

Underrated: Matt Forte is on the top of my list because of his constant production. Yet he doesn't get any media attention that he deserves.

Overrated: Andrew Luck. According to everybody, he is the Golden Boy that can do no wrong, but he has yet to anything that Cam hasn't done. Cam actually had better numbers in his first 2 years than Luck had, yet they say Cam is a tier 3 QB while Luck is a top 5.

 

Underrated: Earl Thomas. All the spotlight goes to Sherman, but it is really Thomas who strikes fear and controls that secondary. It seems that everybody always leaves out Thomas when talking about the Hawks.

I was thinking of putting Thomas, but he seems to get his due respect. All of the people watching know he's the best in the Seahawks secondary except for parts of the media. They just want to ride the Sherman Rant hype all the way to the bank.

Russell Wilson. Does nothing special and rides his stacked team.

I just can't agree with this after his game against us. Against Matty Ice we would have had 10 sacks that game, but Wilson managed to get free and find open guys.

he makes the same kind of plays Cam does. he's actually incredible to watch.

 

 

as for overrated/underated:

 

overrated: luck (this is only because of media hype, dude can ball out but they have anointed him wayyyyyyyy too early)

 

underrated: TD (dude gets almost zero attention) but for non panther big ben.

    • This is where we begin our "slide" similar to Matt Rhule's 2nd season Panthers L 35-9
    • Everyone is seeing it now, but nobody wanted to listen to me when I was saying all these things for well over a year leading into this draft.  And it's not that it's sneaky speed, it's like I said, he's not a quick twitch guy that has super burst off the line, but once he gets going with those long strides, he really gets moving.  Everyone was so sacred about potential 40 times, he was never going to be that kind of guy to have a crazy fast time, but he has more than enough speed to be an elite WR in this league given everything else he brings to the table. Which is why using him on the underneath stuff isn't a bad strategy, he excelled on those in college since he's catching it in full stride and was good at getting YAC on those routes.  The problem is Canales' play design and calling, the great coaches run certain plays to set up later plays that get that player running wide open across the middle just 7 yards downfield, but with acres of space and at full stride, and Canales just doesn't have that in him. But also yes, we need to be throwing more jump balls to him when there's no safety help on the outside, it seems like Canales won't let Bryce check to it for some reason, as he never does. Yep, I saw AJ in him from the second he stepped foot onto the field as a Freshman, to me the closest direct comp. But in the pre-draft process I saw someone say he's a combo of Plaxico and V-Jax and I couldn't help but feel that was scary accurate.
    • appears so don’t see him on the bench either.
