QB Vick by far. He has a carrier completion percent of like 54 or something like that. Romo is a close 2nd, and if he gets the hype he had last year he will take over the top spot.



RB Michael Westbrook. He is an OK RB, not a pro bowler.



WR I can't really say for sure, but I would have to say anybody who has a QB who will put the ball in the right spot on a laser is a little overrated.



CB Champ Baily Yeah he gets a lot of picks, but he gets burnt for TDs almost just as often. a truly great CB doesn't get INTs because teams are afraid of that Side of the field. The Best CBs are like the Best Linemen the less you hear their name the better.



LB/DL Too many to name, Warren Sapp, Michael Strehan, Mario Williams, Dan Morgan, Ray Lewis (He was the benefit, of a great D-Line eating blockers, lost the line, lost his dominance), The list goes on. I guess to be a hyped defensive player you only need 1 good season.

QB- Michael Vick, Atlanta Falcons. The guy can run, ok so put him at RB. He cannot throw accurately at ALL! PERIOD! (Tony Romo, a very close second)



HB- Willis McGahee, Baltimore Ravens. Not many RB's who are way overrated, but McGahee showed nothing in Buffalo, maybe it was their O-Line, we'll see.



WR- Plaxico Burress, New York Giants. The guy has an attitude and is scared to go over the middle. He also drops tons of easy passes. (T.O. second)



CB- DeAngelo Hall, Atlanta Falcons. Great athletic ability but gets cocky and loses focus. Overly aggressive at some points gives up big plays.



S- Roy Williams, Dallas Cowboys. Gives up so many big plays over the top where a "good" safety would cover



LB- Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens. The guy was amazing, but now he is only average. He still is a great hitter, but he no longer is the same ball-hawking LB. Still very good, but overrated.



Note: anybody who said Urlacher is ridiculous. Ok, he got juked ONE time by Tom Brady, everyone is allowed one mistake. I guess you only watch football when your bandwagon team Patriots are on.

1. Eli Manning, people say he's good but we all know he sucks.



2. I guess LaMont Jordan??? Not really any HBs that are overrated.



3. Mark Clayton, simpliy sucks same with Troy Williamson and Lee Evans.



4. Samari Rolle, Antrel Rolle, and Jason Allen along with Michael Huff.



5. Takieo Spikes and Dan Wilikinson

1. Jake Delhomme (The Panthers were chosen to go to the Super Bowl last year, and he couldn't deliver. He's a one-year QB- good for one year and average at best for the rest).

2. LaMont Jordan. He is a #2 RB at best. Although the Raiders' offensive line is terrible, he didn't help the cause. He only carried for 560 yds. before being injured for the rest of the season last year. The year before he didn't eclipse 1,000 yds either.

3. Some would go with T.O. (who would lead the NFL in both TD catches and dropped passes), but I would have to say Chris Chambers of Miami. He was complaining about how the QBs that he played with before last year were not getting the ball out to him. This past year, he received upgrades (not great but better than before) that could give him the ball, and he still couldn't deliver. He can't get through double-teams, and he doesn't make big-game plays. If you noticed why Miami did so well, look at their DEFENSE.

4.) Shawn Springs- He does have an excuse for being injured, but when he wasn't he didn't help the cause either. For being the next best shutdown corner to Champ Bailey, he didn't help Washington's pass defense that ranked 23rd. You could say DeAngelo Hall also fits the bill, but teams torch the rest of the secondary more than him.

5.) Mario Williams- #1 overall draft pick gets outshined by another DEFENSIVE rookie on his team

Joey Porter could be brought up b/c the rest of the linebacker corps is better than he is

All of them too much media hype

The game is not a game any more it is animation.

Sorry



The old days Lawrence Taylor and crash a guy at the line.

Now, does not happen. All fireworks and open the bottle of vinegar for excitement.

Lost a lot of power. Lost a lot of excitement.

Any "star" in the NFC.



Seriously. Their stats were compiled versus weaker NFC teams 75% of the time, as opposed to 25% for an AFC player.



1. QB Vick

2. HB (actually RB) Westbrook

3. WR Joe Horn

4 CB or S Roy Williams

5 LB or D-Lineman Urlacher (Yup, that one will stir up hornets, but Brady, the slowest QB ever, juked him.)

I Like this question...

QB- Michael vick- great legs, but arms win championships in the nfl

HB-Edgerrin James, yea, he was good in indy, but take payton and marvin away, and he is garbage

WR- this is a tie, terrel owens and randy moss, dont go over the middle, take plays off, owens had more drops than anybody last season

CB- Shawn Springs- one year surperstar

LB- Brian Urlacher- he is great chasing down a play, but if you run right at him, he doesnt know what to do.
