It all makes sense, except Manning.

 

I just don't know how you consider one of the greatest players of all time overrated. To me, it sounds like a site/network that wants attention. 

 

im not defending them. im just trying to see it from their pov. while yes peyton will go down as one of the greatest qb to every play this game, hes also gonna go down as a qb with an 9-11 playoff record. not to mention going one and done 9 times. you cant judge a qb just by what they do in the regular season because the playoffs are when the the big boy pants have to be put on. im not saying all those loses are peyton's fault, but naive fans will look at that record and automatically think peyton was terrible when it mattered most.

I honestly don't think any of those guys were over-rated.

Calling Peyton overrated should be punished with a custodial sentence.

Bob Sanders wasn't overrated, he was just injury prone. When he was healthy he was exceptional.

As for Vanderjagt, one missed kick can't diminish the fact that he was a great kicker.

Their reasoning has nothing to do with football play. He is overrated to them because he was replaced.

By that reasoning I expect Brady to be on the overrated list too. Pats replaced him in '08.

Sanders wasn't overrated, when he was on the field he was a difference maker, he just couldn't stay healthy. How does that make someone overrated. These guys should watch the 06-07 SB run and then see if Bob was overrated. Manning is on there simply for shock value.

 

Jeff George? Jeff George is even rated by anyone. How is he overrated?

 

Funny how all the Baltimore players are underrated and all the Indy players are overrated.

i actually like that they put the old players. no one thinks about art donavon, joe washington, or tom matti because of guys like untias berry gino and moore, but these guys were really good players.

The point of view was...."let's light up the comments section by writing something absurd" .

Yea....They had Ray Lewis as overrated, too. They are reaching bleacherreport levels in some of their articles. I don't recall Brady beating Peyton. I remember Brady dominating our defense...there's a difference..

Tom Brady is the golden child of anything that the NFL does that is media related. They never say anything critical of him on NFLN, or nfl.com

If you know next to nothing about football

 

peyton's contribution to the game is not in question. its his ability to win games when they matter most. when you go one and done 9 times, there is something wrong

Different scenario; same premise.

You are speaking as if Peyton has thrown the game ending INT in every loss. When that has only happened twice in his career.

whether you like it or not, a qb is judged by his win column when it matters most. it comes with the position. whether thats fair or not is another discussion

Over rated Peyton, Sanders, & Vanderjak  not all where good players, Bert Jones was not underrated he was a 2 time Most Valuable Player, he got hurt & career was cut short. People just don't remember how good he was, or don't know how good he was. He was GREAT! Over rated Cato June, Underrated Jeff Herrod just off the top of my head, or Jason Belser, Bruce Laird, were under rated.

Exactly. So by that logic Montana is overrated because he got traded and replaced?

It called having a less talented roster than the other top teams.....a lot of it anyway.

The term "whether it's fair or not" drives me nuts. It's conceding to stupid people.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Indeee · Posted

      I'm going to respectfully disagree here. I think, regardless of what the fans might think, their lack of FAs and re-signing all our own means the Colts believe this team is truly capable of making waves in 2024, being only 1 play away from a playoff birth/division title.    I think they believe that they are a couple pieces away but clearly need a top skill position wideout to pair with Pittman and Downs. Every pick after that is fillers, depth, and/or less important needs in their minds.    You could wind up being correct but I'm sticking with my trade up scenario where the only way I'm wrong is that we find out later, the Colts could not find a trade partner or that the trade partners really wanted to much in compensation.   I'm sticking with Colts trade to with Chargers and take Nabers at pick 5.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      By w87r · Posted

      Latest update not encouraging? Where's that at? Wasn't in that article.     Everything I have seen, has shown some athleticism has already started to come back.     I posted a couple rehab videos somewhere a month ago or so.   He is already dunking and looked very quick on take off and on his straight line running.   Can't remember if there was a change of direction in the the video but I think there was that as well.     Saying that, I think we still bring in a CB, but everything I have seen has been encouraging in regards to rehab.

      Steelers picking at No.20 probably want him to get past Bengals and Jaguars so that they can draft Adonai Mitchell, so could be an article blessed by the organization too

      I think we stay at 15, hope Bowers is there but dont think he will be. With latest update not encouraging that Flowers will be ready seems like Corner more likely to be taken over WR.  First round corner paired with Brents with Jones first corner off the bench should yield better results then last season.   ttps://www.aol.com/cb-dallis-flowers-rehabbing-achilles-084056300.htm

      I think the draft falls this way:   1) Bears: Caleb 2) Commanders: Daniels 3) Vikings (trade with Pats) Maye 4) Cardinals: MHJ 5) Colts (trade with Chargers) Nabers   Reason for my top 5 is that I think the Patriots really like McCarthy, coupled with the Brady/McCarthy Michigan thing plus the Pats need more player help, it makes sense for the Pats to trade back to 11 but still be in front of the Raiders and Broncos to get their QB   Colts trade up reason: I think the Chargers need O-line help as well as other players like WR, however I believe the Chargers can still get a top LT at 15 and WR late in round one or if they trade back into round one which I believe they will attempt to do in this scenario. Plus, the Harbough Indy connection makes this trade likely.   Even if the Commanders take Maye at 2, I still think the Vikings trade up and then grab Daniels. Pats take McCarthy.   I think this is the year the Colts finally will mortgage a little bit of the future for the wideout. I'm going to stick with this. I hope my gut is correct here, we'll see.
