Someone suggested that Ronnie Brown is better than Adrian Peterson, and as I was sitting on the throne, it got me to thinking. Who is the most overhyped phins player on finheaven?
I cam up with what I feel is the 10 best candidates(not that I necessarily think each player on the list is overrated, as I will expand). As I created the list, I started to realize it seems as though based on what you read on here, that Cam and Mueller got fired after having the greatest draft in the history of the NFL. I mean we know that Ginn is as of now a pretty good receiver and has a chance to be a solid #1 receiver for us as he improves. Outside of that, did Cam and Mueller hit on EVERY PICK?????
In alphabetical order the list......I will assign between 1 and 4 stars based upon my perception of how much credibility or "star power", love, or whatever you want to call it that I believe a player gets. How good I really think he is I will discuss.
1) Jason Allen*** - Heres a guy that did improve down the stretch last year. I think maybe the statistic of 3 INTs might be what makes people think he is all of the sudden a solid player. Im just not sure. The guy was just terrible whenever he got in there for a year and a half. Personally he needs to show he can be solid in either a backup role player job or starting job for a full season before I consider him a good player based on how ridiculously bad he was for a year and a half.
2) John Beck**** - Do I need to expand on this or can you just read my many posts in the Beck threads?
3) Yeramiah Bell*** - Heres a guy that to me was a very good role player. Brought some pass rushing skills to the safety position and seemed to be around the ball alot when he was a role player. As a starter it seemed like he almost took a step back. I know he gets alot of credit around here for being a solid player. Is he?
4) Lorenzo Booker*** - Heres a guy who showed some flashes down the stretch. Alot of it was in situations where he made some receptions vs a laid back defense and caught the ball in the open field though. Good player I think. But, I feel like his celing is a very good 3rd down/change of pace guy. But, hey thats pretty good. Nice player. I think he will stick around for a while. He gets alot of credit already though.
5) Ronnie Brown**** - Great player. I think he is better than most running backs in the NFL. True beast. But, seriously, the guy gets almost Marino like hype around here. He isnt the best back in the league. I dont even think he is top 5. He has certainly shown flashes and had short stretches of games where he looks like he can be top 3. But, he hasnt done it over a full season yet. Cant just give the guy credit for something he hasnt done just because its possible. Truly untouchable on this site and really the reason for this thread(although I wont vote him the most overrated because he is a really good player and IMHO one of the better backs in the league.)
6) Channing Crowder** - Finally some people have realized he just isnt very good at all. This guy going into last year takes this award hands down. Since the day he was drafted, up till sometime during last year, you couldnt tell anyone around here that he wasnt the eventual replacement for Zach and that we wouldnt miss a beat when he did. Rubbish. Crowder is garbage. The sooner he is off the team the better. To top it off he is a moron.
7) Derek Hagan** - Heres another guy that up till last season people swore by him. Some still do, thats why he is on the list. He just isnt very good right now. Still has SOME potential. Might be a good player sometime. He just isnt right now. He is also in danger of losing his roster spot IMHO if we add another receiver through FA or draft.
8) Reagan Mauia*** - Again, Did Cam and Mueller hit on every pick???? Was this the greatest draft ever? He has Crowder potential in the fact that since the day he was drafted everyone has been convinced he will be great and everyone has just went along with that theory. Im not sold on him. There might be a time a year or two from now when everyone is talking about he is nothing or a time where he isnt even mentioned at all. He might be really good though. We will see. I think having a cool nickname helped build his cred around here.
9) Drew Mormino** - Some people are ready to hand this guy the LG spot and assume that he will be solid there. Based on what? Cam picked him? I forgot every pick last year was a bullseye. He hasnt even played a game yet.
10) Sampson Satele*** - Another solid Mueller/Cam pick. WOW! How did these guys lose their jobs? This guy though IMO is the goods. I thought he did a fine job starting every game for us at C last year. I expect good things out of him. Might not be perinial all pro like some people have already given him credit for on here, but a good player nontheless. I think we have a guy we can pencil in at C for years to come.
