Like to hear opinions on NFL most over rated players ...

[Nolan Dalla]

Obviously, these are just points of dicussion. I'm not pulling out my NFL Yearbook and throwing stats all over the place. It's just a general feeling I (and others) have about certain teams and players being over-rated / overpaid / and overvalued.

My problem with Dillon is not that he lacks some decent numbers over the years. What gets me (after seeing this happen time and time again) is when it's a CRITICAL down, and the Bengals need 2 yards, or they are on the goal line and need a TD late in the game (laike happened TWICE last season) Dillon usually gets the ball and fails. A great back gets THAT EXTRA YARD or scores. I realize blocking is very important, but a good back can break loose from a DB or plow over a LB and carry him inot the end zone for two yards. Dillon, from what I have seen, lacks that killer instinct. Yes, he runs well when he has a hole, and he certainly has some speed and power. But when the game is on the line and I need TWO YARDS, there are about 20 other backs in the league I'd give the ball to instead of Dillon. It's called HEART, and Corey Dillon LACKS IT.

I'll be interested in any feedback.

Nolan, I totally agree, just points of discussion. I've seen Dillon good and bad. I've seen him not punch it in the end zone but, as a counterpoint my stance would be his surrounding cast over the last six years has been.........poor and yet, he's done well, very well. While I don't pretend to be a Stat guru I do know he's had a 1,000 yds in his first six yrs in the NFL. One of(four?) to do that. Anyways, I also agree with your point that he's a cancer to the good medicine Dr. Lewis has brought to this ailing franchise, and that may send him on his way. I.E.(Takeo Spikes)(hows his stats in Buffalo) Relax man, it's just point, counterpoint

Most over-rated

Okay, now I'm no big Keyshawn fan and the guy does yak a little smack but the guy will go over the middle and make some tough catches.

Also I don't see how Harrington can be over-rated as I haven't even heard his name mentioned in 2 years.

Steve McNair? The guy is a warrior. I'd take him on my team anyday.

My vote for most over-rated: PEYTON MANNING!!!

I get so tired of this guy with all his endless audibles and the constant worship of this guy who has yet to take this team anywhere in the playoffs even when Marshall Faulk was there.

I know everyone really wants him to be the next Danny White but give me Brett Favre anyday over him. Or give me McNair. I predict the Colts will pull there usual fade in December.

David Boston........and after reading that article that someone posted in the forum earlier in the week, all that does is reconfirm what a selfish SOB he is.
