Most Overrated Players at every position?

[Iggloo]

I agree with that. And on Jordy, look, I think he is pretty good, but I see him described as an elite player and I don't think he is that. I think he is a good receiver who has had the benefit of playing with a Hall of Fame QB. He is not, in my view, on the level of guys like AJ Green or Julio Jones.

I didnt call him underrated either. I think he is a great NFL WR in the game right now.

Didn't say you did. It was in response to what GDane posted. I should have been clearer, my apologies.

[QUOTE="Great Dayne, post: 10146665, member: 6477"]Jordy Nelson is on the most underrated list. That's been well known by everyone for a while now. Dude could have 2k yards and 20 TD's and would still not be talked about as an elite WR. Since he's white and doesn't act like a moron like OBJ he's drastically underrated.[/QUOTE]
Can someone explain the term underrated to this gentleman. He is underrated and everyone knows it!!! ummm...OK...

Doesn't matter how you meant to say it, you are wrong either way.

1.) You said Jordy was overrated and right now most experts and fans voting don't even include him in the top 8
2.) Jordy wasn't even selected to the pro bowl and here's who did in the nfc Wide receiver: Julio Jones*, Falcons; Odell Beckham*, Giants; Mike Evans, Buccaneers; Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals
3.) Jordy didn't even make the all pro first team or all pro teams first or second
4.) Jordy was #1 in the NFL in TD's, he was #5 in catch percentage, #6 in Yards, #6 in first downs and #6 in 20+ yard receptions.

He had all that production despite not practicing once in the offseason with the team, played in no preseason games and his first full time back was game #1. Just imagine how good his stats will be with a full off season of training. Also, he already proved the Aaron Rodgers makes him look good theory wrong with one of his best all around games ever being with Matt Flynn at QB (162 yards, 3 TD's and 9 receptions).

Packers 3rd string receiver was better than AJ Green last year and Julio Jones is reguarded as the best WR in the game right now which I am not saying Jordy is. I'm just saying he's underrated and deserves to be included in the conversation of the top 5 receivers and not on the outside of the top 8. Again, if he was a black dude with a loud mouth doing dumb shit like OBJ people would rate him higher. Greg Jennings and Driver have all admitted this as well as other DB's in saying that since he was white many didn't think he could ball.

Yes, he's on the underrated list IMO. No pro bowl or all pro team despite having no off season practice a year removed from an ACL tear, leading the NFL in TD's and top 6 in many other important stats. His 2014 season should've had him in the MVP race.

Dez Bryant is disgustingly overrated.

hard to argue after the last two season
he gets little to no separation and not the best route runner.
Pretty talented fighting for the football but that's kinda secondary to routes and seperation

Oh for the love of god Dane stay on task, ( it's your thread)" Overrated" is the list we are talking not "Underrated" geez when an Op goes rouge on their own threads...

sure
the only comedy is the eagle fan saying a 4th round draft pick is overrated when he played better than the #1 & #2 picks last season. Haters will hate at all cost.

But lost one...Ask Sherman.......

Loved his comments yesterday, he blasted the reporter very politically correct with how he twisted Richard's words....

Sherm speaks his mind but at times last season he should have kept stuff in house.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

A slant is now a high risk pass play?

C'mon.

On the 1yd line with the D all up front, yes it is.

 

[mcnabb7542]

Gotta get thread back on track :

Andy Dalton!

These threads can go in any direction as we've seen many times but for the most part I have stuck with discussing what players deserve to be overrated.

 

[mcnabb7542]

Kurt Cousins!

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

I miss ole Chip tearing down the Eagles

Now he can tear down ESPN. Oh wait, they've been doing that for months so Chipper fits in perfectly.

Him and Flacco are fighting for most overrated QB.

I still don't understand that, ESPN fires 80% of there staff and they hire this babbling idiot?

Nelson is a contender for it in my book post ACL.
