Overrated Quarterbacks

I agree. I love Patrick Ramsey but we skins fans tend to talk about him like he's the second coming. Truth be told, Hasselbeck showed a better command of the pro game -- reading defenses, finding open receivers -- than Ramsey did at certain times last year.

Sounds interesting, I'm game.

What do you suggest as far as wagers go? I've got a bookie for the regular season, so I'm not real interested in layin down loot persay, (especially since we don't know each other from squat)

but I'd be down to do like a SIG type situation

i.e. if I win, then for the entire next season you have to have a HAIL SKINS banner in your sig... something along those lines.

Let me know

peace, steve

He gets praise because he wins games. He may not have the best stats all the time, but he gets the job done when he needs to. Plus, he makes incredible plays that only he (maybe Vick) can make.

If you want to look at stats, why don't people call Vick overrated? McNabb's stats in his 2nd year were better than Vick's in his 2nd year.

And don't say he can't win "big games", because he has an above .500 record in the playoffs. I'm not sure how anybody wouldn't classify them as big games.

I'd take McNair, Manning, and Brady over McNabb. I would consider Vick, but no one else.

What are you quoting me for? I didn't say he was over or under-rated. I just explained why McNabb is always mentioned as overrated by fans.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

There's no such thing as overrated. It all comes down to whether you do the job or not. If you can't be a Quarterback, then don't Quarterback. I'm not going to put someone on my team who can't contribute. I have no room whatsoever to call someone overrated. Why? Because I could do half of what any of these guys do daily even if my life depended on it. Not one of us here could do what Brooks, McNabb, or Collins could do on that feild. We may be disappointed in there prefomance, but we damn sure have no room to say they are getting more respect then they deserve. Sheesh

We have been talking "overrated" but I feel as though many people overlook QB Aaron Brooks thus making him "underrated."

I am objective enough to say that Brooks accuracy is suspect, if not strictly average. But accuracy is just one of many facets a QB has to him. Since taking over as a full time stater in 2001 Brooks has eclipsed the 3500 yard mark and 20td mark each year. 3832 yards, 3572 yards, and 3546 yards along with 26, 27, and 24 TD passes respectively.

Brooks is also a threat to run, he has quickness as well as a nice burst. He has rushed for more then 175 yards in each of his three starting seasons as well as having at least one TD rushing. Although his rushing totals have declined in each of his three starting years it can be attributed to the fact that he has developed into more a pure passer relying on the run less and less.

When talking about "underrated" players I believe it is important to list Aaron Brooks and not discount him for reasons such as not being a household name or publicized sports figure.

Perfectly said. Brooks is always a threat, and to say he is overrated he outlandish. Talking overrated though, I would really have to go with Kerry Collins. Just like others, a few of my Giants friends like to think he is a great QB. People do not understand that it was the system, not the QB. Everybody knows he did nothing in Carolina.

I wouldn't too much throw Jeff Garcia out there as overrated though, the guy is tough, and will play through more pain than mostly all of QBs would. Despite his age, he is also a threat when outside of the pocket. He is actually a better passer when he is scrambling.

I also wouldn't so much throw Daunte in there, simply because, yes the backups did fine, but when you think about it, they ALSO have Randy Moss to throw the ball to. Daunte is also good out of the pocket, and will barrel people over with his size. Daunte has a cannon on him, that is for damn sure. When he is on, he is on, and when he is off, he is off. But he was still one of the most highly efficient QBs int he league last year.

McNabb is definately overrated. Yes he can scramble and get out of the pcket, and works better on the run, as us Reskins fans oh so know too well, but he has absolutely no arm and little accuracy, we will see how TO affects his play this year.

McNuggit

****tail Collins

Q Card

In that order. Why ? Because they are our division rivals and it our job as Skins fan to look down on them.:D

To the few that said PR, shame on you. Poor kid played in an offense that was very QB unfriendly. Its amazing that he is still healthy enough to play another season.:2cents:

BTW

I'll put in my :2cents: for Aaron Brooks. He throws INTs, is inaccurate, and has all the weapons in the world yet fails to utilize them.

That description fits the whole Saints team, not just Brooks. What the hell are they doing?!

i dont like the Patriots or Tom Brady, so ill say hes overrated. Gets waay too much press, 2 time super bowl mvp whatever. Without Belichick, the Patriots would be nothing, and neither would Tom Brady.

I agree with MacFlab as well.

Uh Vick had a broken leg for most of his second year. You cant possibly compare stats between the two for their second year.

How can you possibly say Kerry Collins is overrated when he isn't even rated? What I mean is, do you hear his name being mentioned with the top QB's? Is he given attention when people talk about top QB's? Never. He is considered a middle of the road QB. And that is about right for him. He has shown he can put up very good numbers but he needs a solid OLine. Something he only had with the Giants the year they went to the Super Bowl. But to say he is overrated when no one ever makes a big deal about him is crazy.

I agree 100%

Ramsey? How can he be overrated... it's amazing that he's still going to play in the NFL after last season...

Football is a tough sport. You don't see the houston QB crying because of all the sacks he took his first year do you. Heck Ramsey didn't even finish the season Carr did that year.

:laugh: :rotflmao: :laugh:

Man some of you I just wonder how many times you were dropped as a baby.

Answer me one question, If Belichick is so great then why couldn't he win with Bledsoe while having the same team??

ok another:

How was it possible that NE won another superbowl with out a start at WR or RB?

Tom Brady is how, 2 superbowls, 2 mvp's you are not overated but underated.

i said mcnabb earlier and then somebody said he never comes up big...4th and 23 i believe. that still doesn't take away that i think he is the most overrated, but all these guys are good. you can be a legit probowler and still be overrated. as far as brady goes, i hate everything about new england and brady (especially his prescence at the state of the union) but the guy wins football games and nobody says it's because he is the best qb, they say it's because he does the best thing for his team, which in my book makes him selfless and by definition underrated. if you win games by being less of a qb numberswise than you could be then you are doing everything right. all that being said, i hate you tom brady
