On this board, here is 1 player who I think is overated, and 1 who I think is underated.
RB- Overated- Oman. He didnt show much more than Wright, and the only reason he made the team was because of Wrights fumbling issues.
Underated- Barnes- I dont know how many people realize this, but Barnes will open so many ways to score in the redzone. We can now do a playaction pass and pass it to Barnes in the endzone. We couldnt do that before because the defense was always expecting it from a TE/FB. Also, with a huge FB and a huge RB. Running the ball in the red zone will be 10X easier.
WR
Over- Steve Johnson- Im still trying to pick up why some say he will be our starting WR soon? Other than the last game vs 3RD STRINGERS! he was unseen. He is good, may make it to 3rd on our chart, but he is still another 4-5 years before he can even think about being our #1.
Under- Reed- He has to be our best 3rd down, and clutch reciever. He always is making plays when it maters most. He is also our oldest reciever, and is not a bad route runner.
TE-
Over- Schouman- Um, who was he 1 year ago? Everyone is pushing for him to start and he hasnt done anything to deserve it. Maybe, dropping passes, not going for the ball, translates in TE success to you, but to me its a player who has ALOT to learn.
Under- Anderson before we got rid of him- Im still shocked we got rid of him. Now our biggest need (when I say biggest, I mean out of all our needs, we only had 1 true TE) went unsolved in FA. We signed Teyo, Courtney, and Fine. Now we only have 1 of them and hes injured. Anderson was the only consistent TE, other than Royal but that was only in 1 game. We shouldve kept this guy.
OL
Over- Doc- this was the only player who I even come close to say hes overated. Hes not that overated, but he isnt the top 10 guard some of us expected. Thats it.
Under- Butler- people down him way to much when he was in his 1st year playing a game last year, and still did a great job. At his age, and him producing so well as a 5th round pick a few years back, he will probably be a long term player and we will probably have to give him a long term contract soon.
DL- None are overated or underated on these message board
LB- Over- Pos 10000%- He hasnt played 3 games and hes already the best defensive player on our team? Let him play a full season before hes nominated as DPOY.
Under- Crowell- With all the talk of Pos and Mitchell, what about the player who had to fill both TKO and Fletchers shoes at the same time. For someone who had to replace 2 probowl LBs at the same time, he did a great job. Now that he has a full LB corp, he doesnt have to worry about being the key to every OL and he will be more free.
CB- Under- Youboty- no one gives him credit for what he has been able to do. He had his mom die, then was moved to our last CB because of the games missed, then he finally got a chance last year and used it to his advantaged but was still the last CB, then he had to deal with 3 CBs go over him, and last, he played so good that he moved up 3 spots and is now the nickel back. Not to mention that since he was drafted, hes been endangered of being cut every day of his career.
Over- None- everyone thinks our CBs suck
S- Over- Wendling- maybe he shouldnt be here until he actually plays
Under- Whitner- Hes are team leader and has been all that we shouldve expected since he came out of the draft. Hes our team leader, best DB, and hardest hitter. People seem to compare him to the draft he came out of but people fail to recognize that it was a horrible draft. More than half dont even start, or are gone. In that draft, we have to be thankfull we got a starting caliber player.
