most overrated player in NFL history

[Delhommey]

Moss is badass. He just isn't going to put forth any effort when he knows his team sucks.

[ChucktownK]

I love how people say a prolific player is bad once they sign with a HORRIBLE team and have almost no chance of getting the ball in a normal fashion. Obviously, production drops off.

Who are the two most overrated WRs in NFL history?

[bacardimarty89]

lynn swan and tim brown.Great catches in super bowl moments, but compare numbers to other greats.

Name a receivers with more accolades who manages to disappear whenever the defense is actively looking to stop him.

Marvin Harrison..in the playoffs.

Check it out...it's a shocker how thoroughly he disappears.

The only knock on Harrison, just like the other Colts players, is that he never came up big in the postseason.

In 16 playoff games, he was downright dreadful. The only 100- yard game he tallied was in a 2004 wildcard game against Denver. The only two playoff touchdowns he ever scored were also in that game.

If you take out that one Denver game, this was a typical line for Marvin Harrison: 3.9 catches for 49.9 yards and zero touchdowns. In eight of his 16 playoff games he failed to tally more than 50 yards receiving.

To me, if you are considered a truly, truly great player, you HAVE to be great or at least GOOD in the playoffs.

Look at what Moss did in Oakland, then convince me he's as great as everyone says he is.

in 2005 with kerry collins at qb, he had over a thousand yards receiving and 8 touchdowns. if you would like to blame his 2006 solely on him, please explain why you're giving a pass to the QB trio of Walter, Tuisasosopo, and Brooks, with no running gae to speak of?

Can you imagine what Larry Fitzgerald would do in New England?

do you mean he'd break almost every single season receiving record? because that's what moss did!

honestly, for moss to be considered the most overrated wide receiver in the nfl, the gap between his expectations would basically have to be a TD every single catch to create a wide enough divide between reality.

Hate to say it, but D. Jarrett ain't on the fast road to stardom either. :toetap05:

He's a second round draft pick (which would pretty much automically disqualify him) who has only been in the league two years.

Not even close to overrated OR a bust.

[Pantherman]

I pretty much can say that jason peter DE former panther first round draft pic was a complete bust comes to mind. Also sean gilbert former DT for the panthers that costed carolina 2 number 1 draft picks ended up been a complete waste of time aswell.

[Jangler]

Here's one. Bob Griese

[SMACKDAB]

He's a second round draft pick (which would pretty much automically disqualify him) who has only been in the league two years.

Not even close to overrated OR a bust.

AS I SAID.....he ain't on the fast road to stardom(especially being so highly sought after because of coming out of USC). See it or classify as you wish, but it is a very true statement.

A lot of people have voted for flops, not overrated players. I see an overrated player as someone who is still a starter for many years but just isn't that fantastic compared to others, yet the media grabs hold of them.

For me, I vote for Ray Lewis (current) and Deion Sanders (retired).

The who is the most overrated receiver in the NFL? STEVE SMITH???

Being from Ohio and all, I would say David Klingler from Cincy, and Andre Ware from Detroit. They both went to the same colleges(Houston). Both were in the run and shoot Offense at the Univ. of Houston. Ware went a year before Klinger and was the biggest bust playing in Detroit in 1990. His replacement was eventually Erik Kramer who took the Lions to the NFC Champoinship game in 1992. Klinger was thrown to the wolves after the Bengals traded Eiason to the Jets which was a dumb move by the Bengals at the time. Klinger had no Offensive line and no chance to succeed in Cincy. Those two are my all time draft busts, as far as player I would go with Ryan Leaf who I believe is coaching at West Texas State a Division three school somewhere in Texas!
