Most Underrated Player - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**pIp83Uns** · 09-07-2010, 07:58 PM

Well, we discussed the most overrated player and we all agreed that Charles Woodson is the most overrated player in the league -- so how about the most underrated player.

Here are a few guys that come to mind:

Sheldon Brown
Ray Rice
Thomas Jones
Pierre Thomas
Justin Tuck

Eli Manning

This is an underrated thread, but I agree with you that he is the most overrated player.

Chris Johnson. He never really seemed to get the hype he deserved last year.

He's by some considered to be the best half back in the NFL. Others consider him 1B to Peterson. I'm not sure if being argued if you're the best, or second best, is underrated.

By some perhaps, but it seems to me like he doesn't get as much hype for someone playing like him. Hell, to be 1B to Peterson is being underrated.

Chase Blackburn doesnt get as much credit as he deserves, albeit his most impressive performances come on ST. Now that we dont have Pierce tho, I think he'll get a chance to prove his worth at Mlb.

The concensus best RB in league is underrated. Are you retarded?

Ugh no.

Good special teams guy but has no business starting LB for the Giants.

Concensus, eh? Maybe in fantasy football.

Absolutely. He was underrated going into the 09 season but not now.

Stick to baseball, SUNT.

I'll agree that saying Johnson is 1B to Peterson is underrating him -- but in the end I think he's rated about where he should be. Most people recognize he's either the best or second best RB in the league (I'd say easily the best but some may disagree.)

Now, there are some other RBs who are wildly underrated. As I mentioned above, Ray Rice had a monstrous season last year but still doesn't get any respect (he's rated 8th best RB on Madden next year.) Thomas Jones quietly puts up great seasons every year and nobody talks about him. And then there's Pierre Thomas who was the best RB on the Superbowl Champion Saints team and he's rarely even discussed (by the way, I expect him to have an awesome year this year.)

Back to Chris Johnson, I don't think he's underrated. I think Peterson is just overrated. People fall in love with highlight reels and forget the flaws.

I'll certainly agree that he isn't the most underrated, but I think he is generally underrated by general NFL fans.

That's cause he plays for the Tennessee Titans.

**Vokbeelllicky** · 09-07-2010, 08:26 PM

Probably doesn't help.

Generally by general. I didn't even realize I did that.
