  • What athlete is most overrated?
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Obviously I'm going to mention Tim Tebow, but let's go with the non-obvious.

Derek Jeter
Josh Hamilton (good player...but Texas is the AL equivalent of Coors Field)
Carlos Boozer
Carmelo Anthony

I would never invest major money into one RB, too risky.

Feel bad for the guy, he's been in a disaster in Washington, and a lot of guys never recover from a first few years in environments like that.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

he's fast and freaky athletic but his jumper is still broken. I like the kid and want him to do well, but he's still overrated (so far).

I'll throw both of the Uptons in there too, although Justin may be turning the corner.

Justin Upton is going to be a stud. The kid is only like 22 or 23.

His athletic abilities are undeniable. A certified freak of nature. His inability to run a route is what keeps him from consistent and the best WR in the league. He if doesn't learn route running, his value drops to nothing once his physical gifts start to go downhill.
