Overrated/Underrated

[kingerock]

Overrated Players

Donovan McNabb - his success is the product of great coaching. He always chokes in the big game. He is a playmaker, but only when nothing is on the line. They show replays of him doing great things when nothing is on the line. When he fails, it's the WRs fault, not his. It's the weather or fate or the fans or the staduim, never McNabb. This season we could say that with TO they can't blame the WRs anymore, but now that the defense is no longer star studded, they'll blame them, but never McNabb.

Overrated Coaches

Mike Martz - How in the heck, with all that talent, can they have not won another superbowl? Who in their right mind doesn't give Marshall Faulk the ball 20+ times EVERY GAME!?!?!? While McNabb is a product of great coaching, Martz is the product of great players. Horrible playcaller.

Phil Jackson - Look, all things considered, I could coach Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen to 6 championships. I could coach Kobe and Shaq to another half dozen too. He may well be a good coach, but we'll never know. Give him a team without the uber-athletes and then lets see what he can do.

Overrated Referees

Ed Hochuli - His arms are the size of my waist and he looks more like a LB than a ref. But you need to know the back story. He's a lawyer and a father of 5 along with being the president of the NFL Referees Association. What does that have to do with anything? It's all part of a smoke and mirrors intemidation plot. Who wants to challenge a union leading, lawyer that has five predeccesors AND is built like a tank? Smoke and mirrors... smoke and mirrors.

Overrated Boobie

Janet Jacksons left boobie - okay so we've all seen it and printed it and put a copy in our wallet in front of our insurance card but behind our wives picture... but if you look closely and examine thoroughly (which I do occasionally) it's a little droppy. Granted she's 38 (looking good for her age) but if you're gonna put it on international tv for the whole world to see, get to a doctor and firm those puppies up a little. I'm sure Michael could recommend a good one. Come to think of it, don't use Michaels surgeons. I would not call the surgeries he's had 'successful.'

Overrated Redskin

I'll probably be banned from these boards for saying this, but Sean Taylor has to be one of the most overrated, unproven players I've seen since Ryan Leaf. I really, really hope he does well, but from the talk you would think he's the messiah of all that is football. Let me see him play a few games in regular season, then we can talk. If he does pan out as people are saying and hoping, I'll be attending the 1st church of Taylorism myself, but for now, i'll stay penticostal.
