Return Of Lavar

[QUOTE=saden1]Defensive player of the year? Sorry to tell you this buddy but LaVar is not that good. Maybe if he was Julius Peppers, yes, but that he is not. How many people in here would trade LaVar for Peppers?




two different positions so some people would trade and some would not. both are better than the other at their respected position. i didn't say he would have been d p of the year , i said he had a good chance and i stand by that statement. he had been voted to 2 or 3 consecutive probowls and was just about to be part of the #1 d in the nfc and , in my opinion, lavar would have flurished in greg william's defensive system.


There's a poll, who would trade Lavar, for Pepper's? It would take me about 1/2 a second to send Lavar packing for that one.

Would LaVar make the skins D better? Of course.

Is he going to make it so much better he's worth the dough? Probably not!

He's an athletic linebacker and a personallity. He's easily marketable (besides being a real cock when it comes to letting anyone use his name, etc) and pretends like he wants to be a leader. He's a good player, and I like him, but he's high on the overrated list. He's well above par, but he's sitting #2 or #3 on my overrated list. Ray Lewis has the #1 seed all taken care of with a year that really wasn't good and since he's Ray Lewis gets all the credit in the world for it.

Every team has their share of 'overrated players'. I'd be willing to bet there are plenty of Bears fans that think Urlacher is overrated, Dolphins fans that think Zack Thomas is overrated, Redskins errr I mean Broncos fans that think Bailey is overrated, etc.

Personally I'm a big LaVar fan, he's probably my favorite current Redskin if I had to name one.

Same here. Springs has grown on me too. But Lavar is by far my favorite.

yea, and when peppers gets hurt you'll probably want to trade him away too.

heh, LaVar has been labeled overrated for some time. He's exciting to watch and has a personallity like McNabb's that draws the media to him. However, Peppers is an amazing player who would impact our defense more. I'd like to see a poll on who you'd take - peppers or lavar. It would be interesting (assuming no salary cap implications, etc.)

that would be a tough poll to answer because peppers is , without a doubt, a very good player but i just have to see lavar play a full season in greg williams system before i could even think about trading him.

Well there's the difference between the 2 it doesn't matter what system Pepper's play's in, and how foolish to think I would judge Lavar based on an injury, it's all based on his performance he's paid like an elite player and play's like nothing special. Anyone who would want Lavar over Pepper's is just foolish, the best D-end in the game against the most overated player in the game, LAVAR IS NOTHING SPECIAL!

Well, it's not a fair comparison since they don't play the same position, but if I had the choice, salary cap concerns aside, of course I would take Peppers. I may be a LaVar fanboy but I'm not a boneheaded fanboy.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to single out LaVar as the most overrated player in the game, I can think of plenty of guys who are more overrated.

offiss, has there ever been a time when you thought lavar was not overrated ? like the time lavar single handedly turned the skins season around with an interception return for a touchdown against the panthers or when he ended troy aikman's football career or is your hatred for lavar because you don't like penn state. by the way , the most overrated player in football is currently M.VICK !
