I LIKE PETE PRISCO as MUCH AS I LIKE MY WISDOM TOOTH BEING PULLED OUT!

I think alot of people who post on this site are way too sensitive. It seems as though anybody of the national media who says something bad about the Phins has absolutely no idea what they're talking about, which is why I guess they get paid to do what they do. The post about Brady being overrated, ya know what alot of national media during that time period believed he'd stumble. The Pete Prisco hate threat is almost as great as the Jim Rome thread, although the Rome one has Rome calling Jim Everrett Chris which I think is great. The team went 4-12 last year and i'm guessing most people in the media don't believe the team will turnaround that quickly, look at the Chargers last year, noone thought they'd turn it around so quickly. I'm not saying the Phins will be the Chargers of last year because I believe the Afc East is much better, but alot of fans need to be alot less sensitive about how the Phins are thought of.

Yup.......it's called growing some friggin' balls and not being such an onverly sensitive wuss. Not everybody's going to love our team the way we do and it's beyond me why people get upset when they see that. Guys, last season was no mulligan. Last season happened, we stunk. We've got some ways to go so be honest with yourselves. For every 2004 San Diego Chargers story there's plenty of other failures. I suggest most of you watch the upcoming season and enjoy it for what it's worth. We're entering unfamiliar territory coming off the season we just had.

L.T. If you hate prisco....

This is his latest OVERRATED / UNDERRATED list. Some of his picks are laughable as being OVERRATED.

John Ogden- Heck, I'll take him getting beat by D.Freeney in a game. Who hasnt Freeney beaten?

Tory James / Roy Williams : Ah, yes, they are pro-bowlers for a reason.

KGB: 13 1/2 SACKS. What do you expect a SACK EVERY GAME?

Zach Thomas/ Jerome Bettis / Shaun Alexander: OVERRATED? These guys make the character of their respective teams! On top of that, were amongst the top in the leagues in numbers.

WHAT IS THIS GUY THINKING? YIKES! :eek:


Some highlights:

[font=Arial, Helvetica]Overrated: Jonathan Ogden, tackle[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica]He's still a premier player, but he isn't the player he was a few years ago. Ogden has some struggles with some speed rushers last year -- see Dwight Freeney -- and that could be a sign of the start of the erosion of his skills.

[/font]



[font=Arial, Helvetica]Overrated: Tory James, cornerback
He went to the Pro Bowl after getting eight interceptions last season, but he isn't nearly as good as his numbers would make one believe. He is decent, but not a Pro Bowl-quality corner.

Overrated: Roy Williams, safety
He makes some big hits and that earns him a lot of attention. The reality is he isn't that good in coverage -- and that shows up. He's more like a linebacker than a safety, which is why he will play strong safety this season after playing free safety a bunch in 2004. [/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica]Overrated: Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, defensive end
He had 13½ sacks last season, which is a nice number, but he went nine games (counting the playoff loss to the Vikings) without a sack. He gets sacks in bunches, but he isn't as consistent as his reputation.
[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica]Overrated: Zach Thomas, linebacker
We've said this for a long time, but here goes again: Thomas is a decent player, but not nearly as good as portrayed. Some scouts think Thomas is actually a liability when the big bodies in front of him don't protect him. The new scheme in which linebackers have to take on blocks won't help him.
[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica]Overrated: Jerome Bettis, running back
Bettis is a great guy and he's loved in Pittsburgh. But he isn't the threat he once was with the football. If he's starting at any point this year, it's a mistake for the Steelers. He should be a spot player now at this point in his career. [/font]





[font=Arial, Helvetica]Overrated: Shaun Alexander, running back
This one will open some eyes because he was second in the league in rushing last season. But the feeling inside the Seattle organization, from coaches and players, is that Alexander is soft. He won't get the tough yards. Plus, he's a me-first player. He is on the trading block and nobody made a move. That has to mean something, right? [/font]

I dont put to me credence in the "system" knock on Zach every team has a "system" Put Ray lewis behind a crappy DL and a lot of his stops would be chasing...I doubt he could handle Mawae 1 on 1 either he might win a few of those but not many.

*EDIT* and just to reiterate Prisco is a tool.
