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... |

Re: Overrated/Underrated Redskins
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.

Re: Overrated/Underrated Redskins
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.

Re: Overrated/Underrated Redskins
Hall is very polarizing as we know. I think it's pretty split among those that think he's overrated or underrated.

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. |

And you are right about Portis not having a QB. But the injuries and his career length don't help his case and for me are a major reason he was overrated (as well as the money he was being paid).

Portis was coming off back to back 1500+ yard seasons and 29 TDs in Denver. He was definitely one of the top backs in the league at that time. |

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.

Its just like RG3 and Luck, both guys careers are going to be linked even over things they have no control over (drafted). Ditto for Lavernus Coles and Santana Moss (traded).
