Name a receivers with more accolades who manages to disappear whenever the defense is actively looking to stop him.

Marvin Harrison..in the playoffs.

Check it out...it's a shocker how thoroughly he disappears.

The only knock on Harrison, just like the other Colts players, is that he never came up big in the postseason.

In 16 playoff games, he was downright dreadful. The only 100- yard game he tallied was in a 2004 wildcard game against Denver. The only two playoff touchdowns he ever scored were also in that game.

If you take out that one Denver game, this was a typical line for Marvin Harrison: 3.9 catches for 49.9 yards and zero touchdowns. In eight of his 16 playoff games he failed to tally more than 50 yards receiving.

To me, if you are considered a truly, truly great player, you HAVE to be great or at least GOOD in the playoffs.

Look at what Moss did in Oakland, then convince me he's as great as everyone says he is.

in 2005 with kerry collins at qb, he had over a thousand yards receiving and 8 touchdowns. if you would like to blame his 2006 solely on him, please explain why you're giving a pass to the QB trio of Walter, Tuisasosopo, and Brooks, with no running gae to speak of?

Can you imagine what Larry Fitzgerald would do in New England?

do you mean he'd break almost every single season receiving record? because that's what moss did!

honestly, for moss to be considered the most overrated wide receiver in the nfl, the gap between his expectations would basically have to be a TD every single catch to create a wide enough divide between reality.

Hate to say it, but D. Jarrett ain't on the fast road to stardom either. :toetap05: :(

He's a second round draft pick (which would pretty much automically disqualify him) who has only been in the league two years.

Not even close to overrated OR a bust.

AS I SAID.....he ain't on the fast road to stardom(especially being so highly sought after because of coming out of USC). See it or classify as you wish, but it is a very true statement.

A lot of people have voted for flops, not overrated players. I see an overrated player as someone who is still a starter for many years but just isn't that fantastic compared to others, yet the media grabs hold of them.

For me, I vote for Ray Lewis (current) and Deion Sanders (retired).

Being from Ohio and all, I would say David Klingler from Cincy, and Andre Ware from Detroit. They both went to the same colleges(Houston). Both were in the run and shoot Offense at the Univ. of Houston. Ware went a year before Klinger and was the biggest bust playing in Detroit in 1990. His replacement was eventually Erik Kramer who took the Lions to the NFC Champoinship game in 1992. Klinger was thrown to the wolves after the Bengals traded Eiason to the Jets which was a dumb move by the Bengals at the time. Klinger had no Offensive line and no chance to succeed in Cincy. Those two are my all time draft busts, as far as player I would go with Ryan Leaf who I believe is coaching at West Texas State a Division three school somewhere in Texas!

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
