twi Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I immediately thought of Roethlisberger, Polamalu, and Lynch. I didn't even know Keyshawn was "rated" anymore. Kind of odd, no running backs appear on this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSleepJeep Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 As a lifelong Vikings fan, I have to disagree with #2 Urlacher. I think he is what he is; a doinant force on defense that manages to dictate startegy to many offenses throughout the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 ray lewis #3...please, he was never overrated, even this year, when all the so called experts said he lost a step, he's still kicking ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Mike Vick (Ron Mexico) hands down. He runs around, big wow. Look what a team filled with D speed does to him (Tampa) and he throws good only once in a while.Manning(s) etc, although I hate, you cannot go against his stats.

dfwabel Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 They forgot one: Roy Williams (DAL). He cannot cover and still does teh "horse collar" tackle without getting flagged. He needs to move to linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I basically agree entirely, except like someone said before, I didn't really think Keyshawn was rated anymore either. Culpepper comes to mind as well, actually. I might've put Big Ben closer to the top of the list as well.I wish there was a most underrated poll...I just read the article....Warrick Dunn was rated among the most underrated, along with Shaun Alexander, Trent Green, Marvin Harrison, and Hines Ward.

lopernv Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I seriously disagree with Terrell Owens being number one. He is one of the best receivers in the game, whether you love him or hate him. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point you made is exactly what we've been trying to say for the past 4 1/2 years now... It doesn't matter how you win, just win.

It doesn't matter how you win, just win.Yeah, but you can't judge one good game over all the inept games he's had vs. us. Second, once teams get the personnel and the films all together, this lame shotgun option will go by the wayside and you'll have to figure out something else. Sorry to rant, but it's in my blood to hate anything Falcon, Saint, and Panther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Eh, it's cool. Good point about the fact that you have owned us for the past few years by being (at one point) the only team that could effectively stuff Vick consistently, beat us like we stole something, and crush our playoff dreams last year...With that being said, I still remember knocking you guys out of the playoffs the year we went 5-11. That year may have been horrible, but knocking the Bucs out of the playoffs when they were defending SB Champs was a sweet, sweet consolation. But once again, that was a good point. The delerium of beating you guys like we did is still floating around in my head...not to say that the Falcons won't beat the Bucs again Dec. 10th at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL, but I'm just sayin   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeytonManningRocks Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Okay, I don't understand why Peyton Manning is on the list of most overrated...I guess being first in passer rating among regular starting quarterbacks makes you overrated.But I do agree that Michael Vick belongs on that list. I'd also say Michael Strahan is overrated...he isn't even in the top 20 in sacks so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I hate this "overrated" bull , it just stirs the pot."WHY IS WARREN SAPP ON THERE HE IS AWESOME!

CZzyzx41 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yeah leave Edge James, Randall Moss and Dante's wet blanket off the list but include Grandpa Sapp. OK.

NJTank Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Lewis and Urlacher should not be on that list at all they have each been defensive player of the year and Lewis as been a Super Bowl MVP. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
