I have said this a couple of times since Sunday.. our linebackers had a good day, but some of that good day was because those 3 down lineman brought it hard, fast and tight against the biggest line in Football.. if they can play like that the rest of the year.. this defense is going to be just freaking fine.. not over-rated a single freaking bit.

That's just the way this defense is though. It all starts up front. If the front line isn't playing well, offensive lineman will get on the linebackers and basically eat them up, especially the more athletic linebackers like the Packers.

As far as the original point of the thread.

Underrated

- Ryan Pickett - He's been phenomenal this year. I thought he struggled at times a year ago, but he's having a great season.

Other candidates: Nick Collins, Jordy Nelson, and Donald Driver.

Overrated

- Al Harris - I think he's been more inconsistent since the NFC Title game where Plaxico Burress torched him than any Packer the last two years.

Other candidates: Donald Lee, Chad Clifton, Scott Wells, and James Jones.

Remember we all hear different things and different hype on the same players and have different opinion on the players. So in your opinion who's the most overrated and underrated Packers?

For underrated I have to say Pickett. The man just gets so little credit yet usually does a very good job. The 3-4 all starts from the NT and he opens upthe DEs and the DL opens up the LBers. He just comes in and does his job very well day after day after day.

Overrated is harder at least for me. Sadly I think you have to put Clifton, Jennings and Kampman as runners for this at least for this year. ... I'm not sure who to pick.... and don't want to pick one so I'm gonna pass for now.....

Overrated - Jordy Nelson and I hate to say it, but Kampy doesn't work in this system at all. Nothing against Kampy, but this system doesn't work for him.

Underrated - James Jones. I'd really like to see more of him. Also underrated - Nick Barnett. Packer fans take him for granted and he's a solid MLB. There are only a handful of starting MLBs I'd take over Barnett. The other person who may be underrated is Cullen Jenkins but he's got to play a full season.

I purposely avoided any mention of James Jones during this discussion. As many will remember, I was THE great defender of James Jones this past off-season, reminding everyone that would listen (and those that would not, the "listening" thing isn't a big priority with me, lol) about his size, athleticism, and the fact that he was playing through an injury.

I bring this up now for one very good reason.

The context of my argument was the very strong possibility that the Green Bay Packers would wind up drafting a certain divadouche wide-receiver.

I still haven't got to the why.

I duly noted the karmic flow of last Sunday's game (in the chat). I further noted that EVERY SINGLE TIME Twinkie Gorilla "checked in" to view the progress of the game...bad things happened, man, bad things. He noticed it also.

I believe I have an extremely high potential to bring bad karmic flow to the Pack this Sunday. It is like my worst nightmare come to fruition.

Friggin' Crabdouche running all over the GD field willy-nilly, throwing up a career game for the ages, Dhazer typing "told ya so" every 20 seconds, James Jones tipping passes into the air to be intercepted...I had a bad dream.

If you guys opt to have my ass thrown out of the chat this weekend, I will understand.

Underrated. Cullen Jenkins. By far, imo


Overrated. I'm eliminating Cliffy, only because he is getting NO LOVE from the folks that I happen to listen to most. They are right.

Colledge.

There are not enough people on the Colledge sucks bandwagon for my personal taste. His breakdowns at some of the most inopportune times make him DANGEROUSLY overrated, because the SOB flashes enough to fool everyone into thinking that he does not suck. He sucks. Sorry.

Not nice on my part, but that is how I honestly feel.

The fact that Bush is even on this football team puts him in contention for overrated by (at least) the Green Bay Packers. They have GOT to be in the minority to an almost bizarre degree.
