CBS Sportsline list of overrated and underrated players for each team

[djnemo65]

I don't know how Arch is overrated. He was traded for a 6th round pick and everyone says he sucks. He seems to me to be pretty accurately rated.

ARE for the money we paid him should have produced more period. This year it should be different, which is what we are all hoping for. If the guy doesn't produce this season, along with Llyod, then those guys will deserve to be called overrated. I doubt that is going to happen though. With a full season of the new system under their belts and a new young QB, they should both excel this season. If their stats don't improve tremendously then there is a major problem, and we will have a Deion, Fryar, Reed, Smith FA acquisition type bust again. Big money for little production. I still say we need to focus on the draft as the primary way of filling needs, ie more bang for the buck, and only acquire FA's as a secondary way to shore up our needs.

well i know everyone will kill me for this but i find it to be true.......the most overrated player we have is sean taylor.....im not saying hes not good but with all the hype i would expect more consistent play...............i think the most underrated player we have is mike sellers, great blocker, can run decent and catches extremly well for a fullback

So our best defensive player is our most overrated. Umm............ how to say this. I disagree with that for multiple reasons. Whenever an analyst talks about top safties or defensive backs, Sean Taylor is never included. So, for that sole purpose that would make him an underrated player not overrated. To be honest there isn't a player on our roseter in my mind that has so much hype that his performance to this point would be considered a disapointment. Yes, Antwaan Randle El didn't produce as much as we thought he would in the first year. But, hasn't every player and coach who has worked with Al Saunders (including coach saunders) said that it takes 2 years to fully understand his playbook, and from my understanding we are in year 2 of the saunders experiment so let's just wait and see what happens. The reason everyone would call Randle El would be called overrated is because everyone falsely expected him to come in here and instantly produce game changing play after game changing play. But, if you look at his stats for the 2006 season he tied a career high in TD receptions with 3. Plus, the reason he had a career high in reception yards in 2005 was because he was the second option in the passing game in pittsburgh in 2005. Let's be honest Randle El was brought in here and at the start of the seaon he would have been considered the 4th option in the passing game behind Moss, Lloyd, and Cooley. So in that retrospect he started at 4th and moved into 3rd by the end of the season so for a 3rd/4th option tweener I would say that he did pretty good. It really didn't help him that Mark Brunell admitted that he was skeptical to open the playbook and kept throwing dinks and dunks.

Oh by the way I still think our most underrated player on our roster is, and always has been Chris Cooley. He is the most productive player in the NFL on offense that never gets talked about. His career low in touchdowns is 6 and he just became a full blood tight end in 2006.

Who are you? Anyone else mildly suspicious as to how the tone and content of Quake's posts changed so radically in just 48 hours?

It is still me. I am just ready to really add purposeful additions to discussions rather than just say simple uninteresting things such as "yeah i agree" and "you are right." To be honest I was boring myself acting like that and I was annoying everyone on the board including myself.

i agree with Charlie. with that high a pick, i know that skins fans were/ are expecting alot more out of Taylor. every once in a while we will get teased with a glimpse of greatness, then Mr Taylor will bite on a play fake, and get torched for a long gainer

See dmek, that is what i am saying. Redskins fans have a way and I am included in this of over hyping there own players to such a degree that anything below a miracle season is considered a dissapointment. If you look at all the free safties in the NFL. (Ed Reed is a strong safety full time now) I want you to name a safety besides Brian Dawkins that is better than Sean Taylor.
