Prisco's most underrated / overrated Panthers

[KB_fan]

I don't have a lot of respect for Pete Prisco and his picks, but out of boredom I clicked on his recent two articles about each team's most underrated or overrated players.

I think he actually did a great job in his selection of the Panthers' most underrated player.  I agree

DT Kawann Short: He came in as the other tackle in the 2013 draft class with Star Lotulelei, but Short had played close to the same level as Lotulelei, who was the team's first-round pick. They make for a nice, young duo. Short is more explosive.

 

Overrated: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/pete-prisco/25224917/nfls-most-overrated-32-teams-32-players-who-are-good----not-great

Safety Roman Harper: He's still decent against the run, but he struggles in pass protection. That's not a good thing in a division with Matt Ryan, Drew Brees and now Jameis Winston.

I haven't followed Harper too closely since becoming a Panther fan, so it's harder for me to judge the accuracy of this pick, but certainly, this seems plausible.

Who else would you all consider overrated or underrated on the Panthers?

Currently I'd have to say that I think Corey Brown is underrated (though I think that will change quickly), and maybe also Ed Dickson who is overshadowed by Greg's outstanding play.

I can agree with this.  Kwan short is on the verge of being one of the best dts in the league.

roman harper is a liability for our defense , im hoping coleman beats him out or even a dark horse in robert lester to beat him out ( big if in robert lester)

Harper is overrated? By the media maybe, definitely not by the fans.

Do we have an overrated player on this team? Being the small market that we are do we have a player a causal fan of the game would watch and come away thinking "That's it?" Seriously. Luke? No TD? Hahahahahaha Olsen? No Cam? Meh. Case could be made It seems we are at complete opposites with our guys. They're either great or they are average to bad and we lump them into Byron Bell range. I would have been very quick to say Deangelo Williams... but well he's gone.

One possibility re: an overrated player comes to mind, and that's Cotchery.  Probably not overrated by the fans, but maybe expectations by coaches, etc. were a bit too high for him given prior years' play pre-Panthers?  I don't know, I didn't follow him in Pittsburgh to know how good he was then. 

I've also been quite surprised though at how many pundits keep talking about his as a near lock for WR #3, when a lot of us who have been following OTAs are really wondering if he'll make the team at all.

I love the veteran wisdom & additional "coaching" he can bring to the team, but based on his skills, I'm thinking he won't make the WR cut.  We have to cut somewhere and he's looking vulnerable.

As far as other possibly underrated players, I'm hoping that Frank Alexander is currently underrated, i.e. flying under the radar.  It would be so awesome if he had the breakout season that some of us think he could have.  I haven't seen much commentary about him on sites beyond the Huddle.  In my mind, that's all good.  I want him to come out and shock folks with his excellent play!

lol who has harper rated highly enough to be overrated

[AceBoogie]

Corey Brown is dangerously close to being overrated by fans here. I get the potential, but he hasn't done anything yet. 

[French Navy]

Since we are struggling to find an overrated guy... How bout Kalil? He sure didnt live up to our normally high expectetions of him last year? I get that the rest of the oline was poo, but i think it still applies.

Maybe saying he just sucks is giving him too much credit.  Therefore he is overrated because he is worse than suck

[rodeo]

Prisco saying Harper is decent against the run lol. He overrated him while saying he's overrated. He personally gave up like three 80 yard TD runs last year.

Jonathan Stewart is the most overrated/overpaid Panther.  

[KillerKat]

I don't really see anyone on the team as overrated. If I had to choose then probably Tolbert. Underrated maybe Colin Jones.

Blah over rated I'll say Norman. I really like where he's heading but not elite yet imo. Underated, luke. Dudes a beast.
