Most Underrated Player In Sports History??

[blstoker]

Hard to say, but I have to say Drew Brees.

This quarterback has thrown for 5,000+ yards five times of the course of his career, and never once, was vote NFL MVP. Plus, I'm criticizing the Saints defense for holding him back since their Super Bowl victory in the 2009 season.

Interesting thing about Brees, he's thrown at least 600 passes in every year of the last 10 but 1. The year he didn't, the Saints won the Super Bowl.

Moses Malone.

Moses Malone.

Good one. He gets lost among all the great centers in NBA history, but deserves to be talked about.

Dave Casper

I think Moses is top 20 all time.

Dave Casper

If you are going to bring up TEs, I think the first name mentioned has to be Jackie Smith. Everyone forgets how great of a player he was and concentrates on the fact that he dropped that pass in the Super Bowl.

Dave Casper

Didn't NFL Network list him like the #4 TE all-time? Just behind Mackey?

Did they? I never hear him mentioned as an all time great. It would be awesome if they did

Ignore the comments - just a bunch of Cowboy fans butt hurt that Witten isn't on the list.

I don't think Moses is underrated, people who know anything abut the history of basketball know just how good he was...

 

[blstoker]

Oh, nevermind - it's Gil Brandts list. Most of those were a joke - though I don't really have an issue with this list too much.

NFL All Access did a list with Casper at 8.

He had some terrible lists. Looks like he nailed it with TEs though. Witten does have a solid case for top 10.

I used to take him on a video game from his San Antonio year and try to give him 30 a game, just cause I had his basketball card and his stats were pretty amazing.
