Overrated/Underrated

SKINSnCANES · 05-22-2004, 09:00 PM

If you are going to say that Taylor is overrated then make the same argument for every player drafted. Of course no one that was drafted has had a chance to prove himself, but if youre going to base it on his college carreer then you have to agree that Taylor is a huge talent. Theres always a bunch of great players tha just end up in a system that doesnt fit them, but with our coaching staff im hoping thats not going to be the case for us.

I also have a hard time saying McNabb is overrated for youre reasons. I think he comes up with the big play, but is inconsistent the rest of the game. Converting 4th and 26 is a big play, and theres been plenty of times when he has scramled for a clutch first down. In general he doesnt get the ball in the endzone and does have great coaching. But hes proven himself to be a great player when the game is dependent on it.

Hey since somebody mentioned overrated coaches, how about Mike Shanahan of Denver? Did you know that he is winless in the playoffs since John Elway retired?

I would have said Mike Holmgren in Seattle, but he seems to be slowly, ... slowly, turning that ship around.

Sean Taylor overrated??? and the poor guy hasn't even played in a down in a pro game yet... let's give him a chance before we call him overrated. Hard to disagree with all the experts out there that Taylor was easily one of the best players in this year's draft.

Unless you have seen him play in a bunch of his college games, I don't know how you can make this assessment at this time. I've seen plenty of highlight films and he sure looks like the real deal to me.

I watched or was at everyone of his games. Have your doubts if you want but alteast in college he was the real deal. Whenever you have a defender that can outscore your offense in a game you know youve got somethign special.
