  • 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

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."

Can Rob Gronkowski count?

I heard someone on ESPN call him "all-world".

To me, him and Dallas Clark are a lot alike. They're both pretty good, and I think they would do decent other places, but I think the system and person throwing them the ball elevates them a bit too high in my mind.

You guys named most of the good ones though; I was trying to think of some others and those two came to mind for the aforementioned reason.

reality?

one of the highest transfer fees of all time. never technically sound. he was pure flash. people once thought he was the greatest footballer of all time. messi laughs in the face of that.

all he did was pass (poorly) and dribble. he never tackled, defended, or did any other duties of a true midfielder.

Yeah, if Manning was healthy, Brady would be him, Brees, and Rodgers in my book.
