Re: Overrated/Underrated Redskins

All time overrated-Lavar Arrington.. I had huge hopes for him as a Redskin, kept waiting for him to become a beast and he never fully did. I wanted him to be our LT but instead he was a very good but not great player.

All time underrated-Monte Coleman.. Huge part of our SB teams but doesn't seem to get the legendary respect that is reserved for bigger names. He wasn't Hall of Fame caliber but he was the heart and soul of many teams.

Current overrated-I've got to agree with SS on Helu. Dude has zero vision as a running back. I was watching the Saints game again recently and he had a stretch play blocked beautifully for him to get to the edge and down the sideline. He cut inside, tripped over Young (who had a great seal block) and fell down for a 3 yard gain. I wish he had a fraction of the vision that Morris and Royster possess but I think he will be a disappointment as a Redskin.

Current Underrated-Garcon and Morgan. They don't have the draft pedigree or contracts of the other WR groups in our division, but for our system, I like them as much as any. Garcon showed an array of skills last year and you can't argue with 9-2 when he starts the game. Morgan got off on a bad note with the Rams debacle but he was our most consistent WR last year in terms of moving the chains and catching the ball. A healthy offseason and he could break out this fall.
