It doesn't?!? Huh. Well, you learn something new every day, I guess.

The video just shows what I've been saying. That Portis is worthy of being recognized as one of the best. If the video isn't enough evidence, look at his stats. If that isn't enough, then there's no hope in me continuing, so I suppose I'll just move on...

Sean Taylor is underrated.

[Defensewins]

All Time Overrated by his fans: Patrick Ramsey
All Time Underrated: Dave Butz, Mike Nelms

Overrated today: Brian Orakpo, mainly due large amount of time lost time due to injury and lack of true LB instinct in space and pass coverage. He is more of a DE like Andre Carter, an excellent athlete and pass rusher, but he gets lost and looks confused sometimes in space. Not yet a complete LB.

Underrated: Cofield. Remember when everyone kept banging that "we need a true NT" drum? Yeah, take a seat.

Overrated: D. Hall. Nuff said.

I dunno about D. Hall... I think most people think he's overrated. Hell, I think D. Hall thinks D. Hall is overrated sometimes.

Personally, I think he's a little (but just very little) underrated but I digress...

Hall is very polarizing as we know. I think it's pretty split among those that think he's overrated or underrated.

In the day of the salary cap, a lot has to do with what the athlete is making. DHall was overrated in the past due to his salary. He didnt provide 7-8 mil worth of plays. Now that he makes 2.5 mil (or w/e it is now) I think that makes him more about where he should be.

Maybe thats an odd way of looking at overrated/underrated in the day of the salary cap, but thats just my opinion on it.

Overrated: Lavar Arrington and Chip Lohlmiller
Underrated: Rich Milot and Earnest Byner

How Earnest had the career he had and people only focus on the fumble is beyond me. I believe Redskins fans give him his due (which may make him a moot selection since this is Redskins overrated/underrated), but overall most people concentrate on the fumble against Denver. He may not be underrated by Redskins fans, but is clearly underrated by just about everyone else.

Over-rated: Probably Orakpo. But it took me a long time. I just think he might be over rated in the sense that I think some people think he is elite, and he's just really good.

Under-Rated: D. Young. This guy really does it all. For a undrafted linebacker, he has made a hell of an impact. Really like what he brings to the table.

good call on Young

I really think the definition of over-rated and under-rated isn't really defined all that well in general.

When I think of over-rated I think of someone that everyone loves who isn't that good... and under-rated as a guy someone nobody talks about.

I don't think a guy like D. Hall could be considered over-rated, because everyone is all over him already anyways.

I guess there's different levels of overrated/underrated. Hall is one of those guys that probably falls under either category depending on who you talk to.

Thats exactly how I think of overrated and underrated.

I think in terms of your definitions in when it comes to rating current players.

I don't get much enjoyment out of the all-time part of this game because it's way too skewed in favor of more recent players. Many of those who responded were not yet born when the Over-the-Hill Gang played, some may not have been born in time to witness Gibbs I, and the only guy who saw Sammy Baugh play can't remember seeing him.

I considered naming DHall as both most overrated and most underrated because, as Matty pointed out, there just doesn't seem to be any middle ground when it comes to fans' opinions of him.

[Mechanix544]

all time overrated - Doug Williams and Portis

all time underrated - Gary Clark and Jacoby - (not in the hall? leading blocker for riggins during "The RUN!" gimme a break.....)

[SirLK26]

LOL. There's no hope. What's the world coming to?
