Most overrated goes to samuels with a close second being Roy Williams.

Boy Williams is overrated for sure, but Samuels.....?, I dont think so. As Gibbs said, we would have more players in if we were winning. Samuels deserves it, and Thomas as well.

He's very good, but not dominant, in the running game and he'e great in pass protection. How many sacks has he allowed in the past few years? Not many. Moreover, he rarely gets flagged, doesn't cause locker room distractions or get in trouble with the law, is committed to the organization, etc. I have no clue why Redskins fans don't love the guy.

Well said, I definitely agree.

I guess for me it's because I hold him to a higher standard. Plus the last two years he didn't have the excuse of he was protecting the blindside. I just feel like I heard his name called on false starts at critical times too often the past few years.

By no means did I mean to say the guys is a future HoF-e. I just think he's a stud whose reputation was soiled by Spurrier's scheme and RBs not pass-protecting.

Didn't he give up one sack in 2005? Or was that 2004? That's pretty amazing. Moreover, he's been going up against some great pass-rushing talent in the NFC East (e.g., Umenyiora, Howard, Ware) and doing well on a consistent basis.

You mean the guy that leads the league in drops, suicide attempts, unsportmanlike conduct penalties and spits?

Heck, he dropped 2 TDs against the Redskins alone!
