Who is the most overrated player in American football?

Question

The worst qb in the league? That's pretty out there..considering you have 2nd strings, and third strings, and people in NFL Europe, and KYLE BOLLER.

Answer 1

Over Rated on what they are paid and how they deliver?? That would be Julian Peterson or Lavar Arrington. Both these guys got money and they struggled making the starting line-up. JP would be mine, because he played on a bad team and just quit by the end of the year. This is a guy that made over 7M each of the last two years!

Answer 2

Definately Vick. Ranked 28th out of QB's over the past 3 seasons and defenses are on to his "scheme" = which essentially is run around after your 1st and only choice WR isn't open. He has no second or third option, unless you count dumping it to Crumpler. To top it off - he ran a quality WR out of town - Peerless Price - because Price was expecting to have a QB throw a proper pass, in route. Considering Vick likes to play like RB - he will be injured like one and will take hits like one - lessoning his play time and career.

There has been no other player in the history of football to be as hyped and overpaid as Michael Vick. I am not talking about flops, like Bosworth and Leif - but a guy who still is hyped, far beyond his ability, performance and results. The only guy close to Vick is/was Barry Sanders. BUt that's for another question...

He Fergstyle - nice rambling, denouncing the "white guy" and sticking up for lack luster "black" guys. Here's a question: How many Super Bowls do Vick, Moss and T.O. (combined 24 years in NFL) have combined?

I'll wait for that answer.

Answer 3

I say that the most overrated player in the NFL is Daunte Coldpepper or however you spell his last name. Did you see what happen to him this year without Randy Moss. He threw more ints than tds. Even in 2004 they were 5-1 with Moss than Moss get hurts and they lost 7 out of the 10 games they had. 2005 really shows that Daunte is only good with Randy Moss. Let see how good he does in Miami. He probably be good because Chris Chambers is there but let see what happens.

Answer 4

Many may not agree, but I have to say Peyton Manning. OK, his regular season rating is 104.1 and he's broken numerous records including the TD record, but he averages more than 1 int per game, he's sacked almost 20 times per season and no matter how successful his regular season, his post season record is 3-6 and he only has 15 TDs to go along with 8 ints.
He's a choker and he has been for the past 6 seasons. How do you get eliminated in the first round when you have home field advantage?

Answer 5

Poster boy of the NFL-Peyton Manning. They hype him up so high yet what has he really done? So he is good in the regular season, there are other QBs with ratings that are as good. Look at who he was throwing to. Look who the RB was. He is surrounded by talent as far as his postion. I'm not ipressed by someone who has merely proven they can't win the big game. That is all he has shown so far.

Answer 6

Michael Vick.

Answer 7

Michael Vick.

Answer 8

i think alot there r alot of over rated players like most of the QBs r over rated cuz they say o they r sooooo wonderful at stayin in the pocket and precision passing but they wouldnt b ne thing w/ o their line and their wide recievers i mean they r skilled @ football but they cant say they r the best becuz no player can do ne thing w/ o sum one blockin tacklin throwin or doin somethin 4 them my favorite player is teddy bruschi and he has come a long way since gettin a stroke and he isnt overrated so more ppl need 2 start payn attention 2 the line men and DT they r the best


ps the most over rated player prolly is donovan mcnab he sucked bad in the 04 superbowl and everyone still thinks he is the best thing since cambell's chunky soup

Answer 9

i cant believe all the hater answers t.o. is the best reciever in the league he runs routes scores touchdown and makes you gamplan against him he even blocks in the run game. michael vicktom they need to fire that coach he is an idiot he's got the boy boxed in he is the best athlete in the game randy moss what a joke you try and guard him maybe on one of his take off plays but other than that ha! i repeat ha! culpepper another great athlete. now on to brady chess player quaterback is like standing in expressway trafic and make the decision he gets it done in the big game. farve ha! again now you want my answer to the most overated try the third best tight end in the game JEREMY SHOCKEY im shocked you didnt know gates gonzalez wiggins,any of the new england tight ends all better than him at the position he dont even block im finshed talkin about it

Answer 10

Peyton Manning!
