I agree personally with most of these choices... I thought Iwas the only one that thought Bush and Vince

Young were way overrated and to hyped by the media... Niether has done squat since they were drafted...

1 glaring omission was St. Louis' Marc Bulger.....Last I checked the dude was garbage (10 td's/13 Int's/58% comp pct) and is 2 years into a 6yr $60+ million dollar deal. Yeah, I'd definately call that over-rated instead of Drew Bennett who was originally brought in to be a 3rd WR.

I dont agree with quite a few of his selections for overrated/underrated, but that one kind of sticks out.

I will start by saying Chad is a prick and I really have grown to hate him !!!

That being said, he either led his conference or the league in receiving yards for four straight years. How many times has that been done in the history of NFL football ?? Oh yeah, NEVER !!! Not even the great Jerry Rice was able to do that. Numerous pro bowls to go along with that and you could hardly say overrated. Inconsistent, yes... Overrated, NO !!!

WHODEY !!!

He's overrated because when it's crunch time and he has to make the clutch catch, or if it's a big game, he doesn't produce. How many passes has he dropped the last couple of years on third down that would've given us a first? It's been quite a lot. Yes, he's talented, but he's not reliable. You can't depend on him to make the big play or be a good teammate. That's why he's overrated.

Not even close to being the only one. I wrote fantasy stuff at a website this past season, covering the Titans because the people running the site didn't realize that, with me living in Cincy, I'd be better at covering the Bengals than the guy that lived in Jersey, mainly because I could watch all the Bengals games on tv, whereas I got to see two Titans games all season. Anyway, I was brutal on Young this season. He doesn't, IMO, have what it takes to ultimately succeed in the NFL. Low td's, low percent completion rate. Makes bad decisions. Even his running is overrated. Proves wonderlik right again.

As to Bush, it makes the Texans look like friggin' geniuses, doesn't it? Williams is really coming along and putting Bush behind that O line would have doomed him for ever.

I'm still laughing at the fact the dude scored a 6.......a 6 out of 50. Thats Retard level...and by far the lowest ever by a QB(previous record dummy, Jeff George with a 10).....in fact the only other starting QB's with a score anywhere near that low are J.P. Losman and David Garrard with a 14. With Garrard, it took 4 1/2 years as a back-up to grasp the offense and become the starter.

With a score like that, its no wonder Vince Young couldnt pick up Norm Chow's offense, even after he dummied it down for him.

FYI......Carson Palmer took the test once and scored a 26.

Ryan Fitzpatrick took it 3 times.... scoring 37, 38, and a perfect 50 out of 50.

Doesn't surprise me. Fitz went to Harvard, didn't he? Or some Ivy League joint? May make a good QB coach or ultimately OC with that type of mental ability.

Yes Harvard.

I think Akili scored in the single digits, too. I remember Sapp saying something about that when Akili was in Tampa. Terrible.

Obviously Akili and Young didn't have anywhere close to the same type of college careers, but if I were Young, I still wouldn't want to be lumped with him on ANYTHING!

garrard didn't need 4.5 years to grasp an offense. he was part of a franchise that spent a top-10 pick on a franchise QB who didn't work out. they didn't draft garrard to be a starter....plus, you can't watch dave garrard play and question his qb intelligence.

also, to all the reggie bush bashers- he isnt a bust. he hasn't lived up to his draft slot, but he is still a very good running back.

If you mean he's no Todd Marinovich or Ryan Leaf, ok. But a number two draft pick that doesn't live up to his slot is...well...a bust.

Chad is not overrated,he has bad games but hes still a productive elite WR which is what he is.

[HoTbOy]

I will start by saying Chad is a prick and I really have grown to hate him !!!

That being said, he either led his conference or the league in receiving yards for four straight years. How many times has that been done in the history of NFL football ?? Oh yeah, NEVER !!! Not even the great Jerry Rice was able to do that. Numerous pro bowls to go along with that and you could hardly say overrated. Inconsistent, yes... Overrated, NO !!!

WHODEY !!!

Ditto he may an a**hole right now but he is not overrated, he earned those yards, he could have had more but he developed a case of the drops in alot of those games...
