Most overrated players in the NFL

[Latrell]

Oh please.

Luck has beaten out of division opponents in the playoffs. Something I'm sure many other 'Top 15' qb's haven't done.

No improvement from rookie season?

2012 (rookie year) 4374 yards 23 TD's 18 INTS 76.5 passer rating
2014 (last healthy year) 4761 yards 40 TD 15 INT 96.5 passer rating

How is that not an improvement?

I never said his supporting cast sucked. His weapons are good, his line is not. I don't know how you can even dispute that.

Out of the young QB's who would you rather have other than Cam and maybe Wilson? Nobody

All 32 GM's in the NFL would rather have Luck than someone like Andy Dalton that's for sure.

It's by far and away Andrew Luck. No one else is close.

Top 15 QB gets treated like he's Peyton Manning.

Had one injury riddled year behind one of the worst O-lines in recent memory and somehow he is 'overrated'

If anything he's underrated because people are saying things like ' far and away' the most overrated player in the NFL. Get that garbage outta here!

Playing in a division that historically bad. Especially on defense. Outside of his division he has been much much less impressive consistently. And he has shown next to no improvement over his rookie season. He also throws a lot of turnovers and the idea that his supporting cast sucks is completely ridiculous and unfounded.

Just throw out last year. He was playing hurt. So he hasn't improved over his rookie season? His QBR jumps from 76 to 87 to 96 over his first three years. His completion percentage increased during his second and third years. He threw for 4700 yards in his third season. You can't blame him because Jax is a crap team, but to say that he is a product of a bad division defensively is both insulting and inaccurate since the only thing preventing Houston from being a historically bad laughingstock recently is a stout defense. When the rest of your team is largely crap, which it is, you take more chances and throw more picks. It happened to Flacco last year and also in 2013 I believe when the Ravens were either rebuilding (2013) or dying off like Europe during the plague (2015). Luck is fine. If he continues to struggle this season, then come back and tell us you told us, but as for now, you gotta give him a pass on last year and the numbers don't lie.

For now, I will start with my team. Easily Craig Morton, Harvey Martin, Demarcus Ware and Deon Sanders were the most over rated players IMHO to ever put on a Cowboy uniform.

Of all time, I have Joe Namath, Terry Bradshaw, Bob Griese, Franco Harris, Emmitt Smith and Brett Favre near the top of my list.

I cannot believe I actually just read that.

[bluejerseyjinx]

Its just my opinion. I never expected everyone to fully agree with everything I post.

[ErnieDiGregorio]

Emmitt Smith and Brett Favre near the top of my list.

people with more stats than anyone else arent over rated.
everyone rates below them...because they have less stats.

[bluejerseyjinx]

There is a thing called an eye test.

[Next Coming]

ODB isn't overrated but Sammy Watkins is better than him and DeAndre Hopkins.

[old rem]

Burfict is not overrated nor is he weak in pass D. He can blitz and he can cover. His FLAW is he's SO intense.. he'd be a superstar in the old days, now, his weakness is knowing when to have restraint. Now? He's a guy you do NOT want to go to battle against. That he's behind Geno Atkins makes the Bengal D very tough.

Okay, now it's pretty clear you're just trying to get a rise out of BJJ. How on earth can you call either of those guys overrated when neither have played a single NFL game? You can't.

Elliott is a stud. He & Gurley are the future as far as backs go.

Dak? still TBD.

[bluejerseyjinx]

If we go by Ernie's standards, Jarod Jerk Goff is the over rated one. First over all pick, now 3ird string cause he can't even handle a damn snap. I see a lot of Mark San cheese in him. Elliot will be an impact player from day one, so I don't see your argument there. But getting back to QB's. There were 7 QB's taken ahead of Prescott. So who's over rated my friend?
