NFLs most overrated players (or coaches)

Recommended Posts

What players in the NFL do you believe that their hype/prestige exceeds their talent? Let the burning begin.

 

My first guy is Aldon Smith.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the kid sucks. He's a very talented player but I don't think his talent lived up to his hype this past season. The amount of hype Aldon Smith was generating was ridiculous. I was on the hype train too. I even believed that he would break Strahans single season sack record. But the proof is in the pudding. Aldon Smith went ballistic and generated 15 sacks in just 7 games. Then, Justin Smith went down. After Smith went down, Aldon Smith failed to record a sack for the rest of the regular season; 3 games. Then in the play offs, Aldon Smith failed to record a sack in the Divisional Round, NFC Championship game, and the Superbowl. He went on a 6 game sack drought after Justin Smith went down. From watching the games, you saw how Justin being gone altered Aldon's effectiveness. The drop off in production was just too steep for it not to be a coincidence after the sack numbers he was putting up in earlier in the season. Like I said though, great talent; just a tad bit overrated.

Jay Cutler. Analysts still blow him in their segments to this day.

 

Mario Williams

 

Darelle Revis (he's the best corner in the league, but he isn't untouchable i.e., Stevie Johnson)

 

Matt Ryan

 

Joe Flacco, now.

My guess would be because his numbers are inflated due to the ZBS they run in Houston.

 

I disagree with you on Harvin. Definitely think he is overrated. A lot of people think he is a top 10 WR and he just got paid way more than he should have.

These two are not overrated. Jared Allen is a beast and nobody thinks Romo is any good--he's actually underrated.

Jared Allen plays in a division with the cumulative worst offensive lines in the league, headed by a pair of the worst left tackles in the league by the bears and packers.

What about Jared Allen's resume with the Chiefs? 43 sacks in 4 years.

Meh I think Earl Thomas is debatable. People think he is a top 5 safety and I would say he has a strong case for that.

And Revis got burned by Tedd Ginn Jr. Clearly both are overrated.

 

Come on, man. They're humans not machines. He's not going to be literally 100% perfect.
