Whos the most overrated player in the NFL

[rsnnh12]

In defense of cutler, the bears offense does not allow audibles so when he reads blitz there nothing he can do about it. Martz needs to change his system, it doesnt work unless you have elite Quarterback, good wideouts and a good line.

He can still adjust the protection, no?

[wikkidinsane]

Matt ryan - jay cutler . A lot of white qbs.

[Harry N. Lloyd]

What about Fat Albert Haynesworth?

[zsr]

Tom Brady by far!

Lol i hope this is a joke..He's actually underrated, everyone gives the credit to Bill or the offensive line. That season he had last year was unreal..Hell vick turns the ball over more in 2 quarters than brady did last year.

[zsr]

Yes, no doubt he has to improve at that.

i like the guy ... but .. Chad Ochocinco ? Its been a VERY long time since he was more bite then bark.

But Ochocinco fell off. They dont feature him as much on tv anymore. He is a non factor. Tony Romo is a dumbass

[nyymvp]

chris johnson one really good year and he thinks hes the most dynamic player ever. guy blows

I think the pooor season's more because of the holdout. You can't be terrible and get 2000k yards. Give him time

Romo carries the cowboys offense. He takes practice squad recievers and makes them look like pro bowlers (See austin, Haley and Robinson) Note: Miles Austin did fell off pretty bad last year without Romo. Also, jason Witten is always covered well and romo gets the ball in there. Bashing Romo is some what trendy, but unwarranted. If Romo has a big comeback in regular season, then its just regular season, if he has a bad game, then its a horrible blemish on Romos career. He is judged differently then other QBs and i challenge anybody else to tell me differently. (Phillip Rivers and carson Palmer have achieved as much or less then romo and dont get near the bashing)

Matt Ryan over rated? the guy is a 2nd tier QB, nobody would rate him top 5.

rivers got his team to the playoffs more times and has more wins than romo
carson palmer sucked
people are critical of romo because he has shown that he can be elite
but he is just as likely to show u y he isnt elite with bonehead mistakes

[nyplayer33]

tony romo

[Goat Milk]

i would have to say brian urlacher. i think he's been so bad for years now. LOL they put urlacher's name in the same sentence with Ray Lewis. Its crazy, there's no comparison, there never even was in the past, maybe for like a couple of years, and now that their both approaching high 30s i would say that Lewis is STILL the best LB in the NFL and Urlacher isn't even top 25

[The Madcap]

ike taylor? thats an interesting one... i doubt have the board knows who he is...

Ask any Steelers fan. They know. And they know why I'd list him.

[wilfor1]

I am shocked no one has mentioned TOM BRADY. Every week this guy gets bailed out by his receivers. He had one good season and everyone thought he was great.

3 rings
2 mvps
16-0 season
50 yard td season
threw 4 interceptions last year (top 5 ever for td-pick ratio)
steve young called him the greatest quarter in the history of the nfl

I would love to hear how he gets bailed out by his receivers kinda like Woodhead having a pass hit him in the hands, only to drop it and have it picked off? Hernandez dropping a TD pass to have it picked off? Bailed out like that?

"He has the ability and he has a lot of time left, so he will probably pass everybody," Montana told the Daily News. "I never like to say the greatest of all time, but when he is done, he will be the best one who ever played."

Hard to be overrated when the GOAT says you'll be the future GOAT

Playoffs and WINS are a team accomplishment! They both became starters in 2006 Rivers took the chargers to the playoffs 4 times and Romo took the Cowboys 3 times. Last season Romo had a season ending injury early in the season.

Thats all irrelevant tho, because those are TEAM accomplishments. Rivers was also aided by a solid running game his entire career. Everybody knows Romo is going to throw the ball alot and he still does good. I think Rivers is ranked where he should be, but i honestly feel that Romo is underrated due to all the trendy hate he seems to receive.

He can be bad at times but I wouldnt call him overrated.

Interesting. The main man behind Brady success is Belichick. Quite obvious that he would be nothing only for Belichick. So you could have a small point

[The Madcap]

I hate Tom Brady, but there is no way that guy is overrated. He's clearly the best QB in the league. He wins. That's what QB's are supposed to do.

I've hated on him his whole career. Early on I felt he was anointed too soon, that his defense and special teams always seemed to bail him out when he had a shitty game. But each year he gets better. He can fit the ball in tight spots and he can place it in space giving his receivers room to make plays. Deion Branch and Wes Welker are two time castoffs, they aren't miracle workers. Randy Moss looked like shit in Oakland. Brady make him look like the best WR since Jerry Rice.

I will say that Brady's pass blocking seems to be far and away the best year in and year out. I've never seen a guy with so much time/room in the pocket. If Phil Rivers had that kind of time maybe he'd be as good as Brady. And Brady does have a great coach, unlike, say the Chargers. If you put Brady on a team with weaker o-line and Norv Turner as his coach, will he look as good? Fuk no. And maybe a guy like Rivers, who can't seem to find the winning touch in big games, maybe he would look as good as Brady with his o-line and Belicheck as coach. It's hard to say. But I don't think you can say Brady is overrated. I'd say Peyton Manning is 10X more overrated than Brady, and that's with the Colts' season falling apart with him on the sidelines.

The best QBs in the league right now are

1) Brady
2) Rodgers
3) Brees

and those are really the only three that matter right now.

Roethlisberger and Rivers round out the top 5. Stafford is moving up. The rest of the top 15 or 20 are all mediocre to serviceable. Some look like straight crap. I'd rather have Cam Newton than anybody outside the top 3/Rivers.

[rsnnh12]

Just curious, how does a defensive genius coach make Brady the QB he is? Its not like Bill is Mike Martz or Sean Payton... he's a defense coach...

[uup115]

Brady could have been killed in a car wreck 3 years ago and would have been in the HOF for the past 2 years already.

[Glitch]

Brady can still be great And over-rated. Hes a definite first ballot hall of famer and 3-time superbowl champion. However, hes not jesus or elvis presley as some seem to think.

[SportsPedagogy]

Brady is very comparable to Troy Aikman. Both had good teams around them. The pats still did good even when Tom Brady missed the season.

yes, playoff and wins are team accomplishments
but again, 1 of the main reasons he is criticized, is because he has elite talent
but he balances it out with too many critical errors
so u cant really call him elite
since he is in a passing offense, he is the main cause of his teams struggles

[rsnnh12]

He's comparable to Joe Montana, not Aikman.

The Pats under Cassell won 5 fewer games and averaged almost 2 passing TDs PER GAME less than the previous year with virtually the same roster. Cassell is a good QB, but there was a massive difference between the 2

[DwightShrute]

hurts me to say it but REGGIE BUSH should be considered

Disagreed. There are alot of times he makes a great play before a boneheaded one, only to have his teammates fail. The playoffs vs the giants when Patrick crayton dropped a pass after romo scrambled around. Would have changed that game. (sorry only video i could find.

He also hit Austin in the endzone vs the jets and austin couldnt make the catch, next play, nobody go open, Romo had to try and make a play and ended up getting hit from behind and fumbled.

The playoff game vs seatle, Romo droped the snap AFTER driving Dallas down there, Romo picked the ball up, if the kicker attempts to make a block, Romo would score and then seatle would need more then a Josh Brown FG to win the game (Which probably would have happened if Dallas made a FG, there was still time left) He also throws a hailmary into the endzone that lands next to Terry Glenn on the last play.

i am just saying, there are more guys who mess up then Romo on the team, Romo just seems to be the scape goat. His numbers speak for themselves, highest QB in rating in the 4th q in NFL History .... Romo keeps dallas in the game 99% of the time ... very rarely do they get blown out when he plays. The Fans and media act as if he is a glorified Quincy Carter or drew Henson who is a holding the team back, and that drives me nuts. the guy has skills and is being forced to bail out an average team week in and week out. The first two games after Romo went out, Dallas got blown out ... then they fired Wade Phillips and the team started to pull it together on defense and won a few games.

come on dude, blaming any1 but romo on the dropped snap is ridiculous
u gonna throw the kicker under the bus for not making a block?
how about not dropping the snap?

i dont think any1 is calling romo quincy carter
people who know football and is objective know that he has talent and he does have it
but he also has a propencity to screw it up with bad mistakes
how about the lions game?
i mean, he single handedly gave the lions 2 TD's

Yeah,Romo dropped the snap, pissed me off too. He got fired as a snap holder. He did good as a QB to get them there. Did you watch the Lions game ? The first pick was horrid, lofted it short and it fell right into bobby carpenter .... an nobody made a tackle, it wasnt like bobby carpenter ran untouched down the sideline, the entire offense half assed pursued him. No excuse for the pick, but they should have tackled him. That was the difference between a pick 6 and a pick leading to bad field position. The second one was a slant route... i dont know if you played receiver or QB or Coached at all, but slants only get picked off when the receiver isnt hustling. Once again, no tackle and its a pick 6. im not excusing Romo from his mistakes, but football is a team sport. i never hear people talk about when he fights through a rib injury to hand the 49ers and redskins their only loss, but if he turns the ball over.... then hes garbage .... lots of QBs make mistakes and people love to jump the gun and declare somebody a choker .... Steve Young and Peyton Manning were refereed to as chokers for awhile, Peyton manning blew the game vs Dallas last year and the the INT to lose the superbowl. It happens, but when it happens to Romo, its headlines.

[jsmithj88]

i dont remember people calling steve young a choker
peyton manning is a choker, he stunk it up for many years in the playoffs
his only superbowl win was off the strong performances of his 2 running backs
we know how his other superbowl appearance ended.
dude, lots of people gave romo props for playing with the rib injury
but that is sure as hell forgotten very fast when u blow a game like he did with the lions
