Re: All-time underrated and overrated players in Saints history
Archie Manning was under rated, if he would have had lets say any type of O-line and receivers I think he would have been one of the greatest to play the game. He took so many sacks each year it was pathetic, and still got up and played, and he played when football was football not this don't hit the qb. to hard or slide crap.

Re: All-time underrated and overrated players in Saints history
Rickey Jackson is still underrated IMO despite the recognition he has received. If he played for a big market popular team like the Cowboys he would be in top LB of all time discussions, but he is almost always left out. Lawrence Taylor is the only person I know of that truly appreciated his skills.

Re: All-time underrated and overrated players in Saints history
Vince Buck was a really good player for a few years. He was a turnover machine and a good punt returner too. First guy I thought of.
Others that come to mind (underrated): Tyrone Hughes - still holds some all-purpose yardage records, IIRC Quinn Early - one of my favorites all-time, Lance Moore reminds me of him quite a bit Jim Dombrowski - rock solid player who never got credit he deserved Jerry Fontenot - see Dombrowski Floyd Turner - IMO was well on his way to becoming a star before that gruesome broken leg. Never was the same player after that. Overrated: Bobby Hebert - not half as tough as people remember and held the team back quite a bit, I always thought Darren Howard - He just wasn't that good on a consistent, year to year basis. Will Smith - see Darren Howard Kyle Turley - one decent year as a right tackle, he sucked otherwise. Dalton Hilliard - gonna catch heat for this one. He had one very good year where he scored some crazy amount of touchdowns and had a ton of rushing and receiving yards, but other than that was pretty average. |
