The Over-Rated Thread

BrooksMustGo · 04-11-2006, 04:22 PM

Hey everyone, I'm ready for some pure comedy gold.

Pick a college player coming out in this coming draft and explain why they are over-rated and how they shouldn't be taken nearly as high as projected. No one is off-limits. Give it some thought, but please be clever.

No need to start labeling draft busts, but just "Who's over-rated?" as we look towards draft day. They may turn out to be Hall of Famers, but it might be fun to pick on all our draft day heros in this thread.

I'll start with my own favorite

Jay Cutler is Over-Rated--What did he ever do at Vandy besides lose? The guy hasn't done anything but show that he has a big time arm and high school decision making. The next Kyle Boller anyone?

Mario Williams is overrated. I mean honestly, what has this guy ever done? He had a good second half of his junior season, but he's notorious for taking plays off and not giving 100% effort. Hmmmm defensive lineman with a lot of natural talent, but doesn't go hard every play? That sounds familiar. So congratulations "Super" Mario, you're overrated.

OK, I'll take the gimme here, Vince Young. Mr. Worderlic isn't exactly the brightest guy to enter the nfl draft (that's probably understating the fact, hahaha) and has never played in a pro style offense. He looks to run first, throw second, like Vick, but he isn't nearly as fast and elusive. He's going to take a beating if he plays in the nfl the way he played in college. The games I saw him play in, he was very inaccurate with his passes (In the USC game his recievers were WIDE open and had to make many difficult catches because of poor passes). People are raving about this guy when I could see him winding up like... (I told myself that even though I don't hate him I would not mention his name on this forum again). Vince Young = overrated!

D'Brickashaw Ferguson... no doubt he's talented but so is Sullivan and we know where I'm going with this. The guy has all the ability in the world and has not lived up to that hype besides off season one on one drills. Until he can start performing on a consistent basis... D'Brick you are over-rated. Hello Winston Justice...

I'll go with Leinart. I don't doubt that he's a good QB, but I think that any top QB of the past 5 years could have done just as well in his place at USC. Can you imagine if Jay Cutler, Eli Manning, or Ben Roethlisberger had Leinart's supporting cast. Hell Carson Palmer was AT USC and had a weaker supporting cast(since the team was so young then) yet put up numbers almost as good as Leinart. I think if they were all in the same draft, Leinart goes 5th out of all of those QBs.

He'll be good, but way over-hyped.

reggie bush, not a 25 carry back, 10 carries 5 catches type player, wont be any better the brian westbrook, lendall hamstring white got alot of carries, wont last long behind texans o-line

Da'Brickashaw Ferguson for one reason, HE IS AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that an O-line is important but how many of you go to the game to watch them block. If Kyle Turley would not have almost killed that Jets safety, there would be no one walking around sporting a linesman's jersey.

hey thats stil one of my most foundest memories of kyle turley lol

saintbuck · 04-11-2006, 06:18 PM

I love Turley, my favorite Saint ever, but thats just because he showed that he had balls on a team of nutless wonders, but i still wouldn't take him at #2. No offensive lineman is worth a top 7 pick in any draft, not even the beloved Kyle Turley.

spkb25 · 04-11-2006, 06:27 PM

give me mr. vince. he is immature. when you go to meet the president of the united states you dress correctly. he wasn't prepared for the wonderlic. that doesn't sound to good. unprepared is about the worst. he hirieda family friend (even though he is a lawyer) to be his agent. then he wasn't ready for the test. on top of all of that is my original opinion that one game does not make you. it sure did for a while for him. i would love to go back and get all the post on how this guy was about = to slice bread. well he isn't.
