OT - Who would you vote for Most Overrated Player?
Slow day..but curious. Who do you think is the most overrated player in a sport? Maybe not the entire sport, perhaps by position?
Also/Or...most overrated/dissappointing player coming into or going out of Michigan in any sport?
Maybe overrated isn't the right word, but I had high expectations for for D. Terrell and Edwards heading into the NFL.
For transparency, this was inspired my opinion that Brett Favre is the most overrated player in NFL history.
Trent Richardson - sure, he was a warrior in the weight room, but he ran behind an OL in Bama that was nothing but first rounders. Then he went to the NFL and was one of the biggest busts of the last decade. Just another blown pick by the Browns.
As far as Michigan players go, I don’t know if this counts as overrated, but the most over-hyped player ever had to be Derrick Green.
Did MJ, Scottie, or Kobe ever win a ring without Phil Jackson? No. Shaq won one with Pat Riley and Wade. Phil always had great talent on his teams but he knew how to get the most out of it in ways no coach ever has.
The question posed is who is the most over-rated in any sport with no time limitations and the front page, 50 responses, come up with Derek Jeter and Brett Favre.
he makes that tackle in columbus and you build him a statue... and that is why I hate Jabril: all sizzle, no steak...

He may not be at the level of Brady or Jordan, but he has been one of the few elite QBs in the NFL for quite a while. And really, no...the Packers have had fairly soft defenses for most of his time there. Even the year they won the Super Bowl, their defense was good enough, but not great. The Packers have been relying too much on Rogers, and have let other areas of the team get slack, hence the big shakeup this year.
St Thomas is probably the most accomplished qb of all time, but Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback I've ever seen play. Doesn't mean he wins every game, but if you're building a qb, you're taking almost every single one of his traits. Always keeps his eyes downfield, his mobility is a plus, he has a cannon, and is mazingly accurate. He also pretty much brought the back shoulder fade into existence. No other qb has their own throw!
They are so good some make it as WRs in the Nfl.... some
Ameer Abdullah has been disappointing but LeBron James is the guy that is the most overhyped imo
It's hard to overhype a guy as good as LeBron, IMO.
Troy Aikman is easily the most overrated QB in NFL history. He made the Hall of Fame based on his looks and because he QB'd the Cowboys. He passed for over 20 TDs exactly 1 time in his NFL career, despite playing with a loaded offensive roster, including a great OL, top WRs like Michael Irvin and Emmit Smith.
Aikman's only real achievement was being in the right place at the right time to get drafted by Dallas.
