Terrell Owens voted most overrated by his peers

Sports Illustrated surveyed 239 players and asked them to name the most overrated, and Owens finished first. Owens got 14 percent of the vote, far ahead of the rest of the pack.

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo came in second at 7 percent, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth tied for third at 5 percent and Giants quarterback Eli Manning came in fifth at 4 percent.

If you click on the link, you'll see that the writer of this article in particular- Michael Smith, disagrees. I have no opinion on the matter, but he has the numbers...However I disagree that he might be underrated

woww, 1,037 rec, 15,427 yards, and 146 TD's is overrated??

He ranks 5th all time in receptions, 5th all time in TD's, and 2nd all time in receptions, behind only Jerry Rice. He is one of the greatest WR's to ever play the game, and he's overrated?

I think they meant he is overrated in that he is not what he once was, yet he's advertised like he's a top 10 WR.

Tony Romo should have won that

Romo can at least win you some games. Though I agree he's probably the biggest candyass to ever put on an NFL uniform.

"...he's probably the biggest candyass to ever put on an NFL uniform."

Tom Brady has filled that role nicely in my eyes. He's the only guy I've ever seen who can turn around and say something to a ref and get a flag thrown for him. He was whining again last weekend after he was taken down...

Brady tries to be a tough guy, but he's at the head of the line when it comes to QBs being untouchable. If Phil Simms and his comment about QBs wearing skirts were to ever become a reality, Tom Brady would be leading the way.

Oh ok. But why would they say that when almost every team passed on him during free agency? We all know he's old and past his prime, so you can't really be overrated when you're not even rated to begin with.

    • I am not sure it should be a ‘sell out to go to the SB’ season. And hope they don’t.  At the same time I was thinking you absolutely must find out if you want to pay for Bryce or not. That means putting it on him. No protecting and trying to hide weaknesses with the run game and a super conservative calls.  So I wish they would do it and find out, win or lose, 2026. No more developing. Time to do it. Let’s see once and for all. 
    • My biggest fear with Bryce Young is that he will always do just enough to stick around. He shows flashes and then drops a turd so the hopium is always there. Like his career highlight reel if you cut it up to some hype music and did a YouTube video would actually be quite good. His great plays really, really look good. But after that video you look at his yearly averages for completion percentage, yardage, touchdowns, and virtually every other metric and it is meh as fug. Like you know Bryce is gonna be 13/23 for 157 yards a touchdown and probably a pick.  I will 100% give him his flowers for his athleticism and ability to scramble outside the pocket. I haven’t seen the mythical “super processing ability” he was touted for per se, but he has shown flashes of absolutely elite awareness when it comes to scrambling. The little basketball move he does to shake defensive linemen has almost become a signature move. It’s hard to explain but you know it when you see it he stops on a dime and pivots like he is gonna hit a step back jumper and it has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.  I sincerely, truly, as a vocal Bryce HATER, hope that since we are obviously running with him next year the coaching staff actually tailors plays around his strengths. He needs to be in a pure spread IMO. His size is much less of a hindrance when he can play QB in open space. I feel like most of his highlight reel is from scrambles and play action/bootlegs.
