This is jealousy that Baltimore has the 2nd most important player in Post War baseball history.

Overrated:
Dirk N.
Curt Shilling
Art Monk
Allen Iverson

A lot of these list have people who can't be over-rated, because I don't even consider them "rated".

Mark Sanchez.

LOL @ Jests fans.

Romo

Colt McCoy

This is easy. It's Lebron. He's being compared to everyone under the sun, but he hasn't won a damn thing and he never will (we're talking championships here, folks, not those Steve Nash awards). It starts and ends with him.

Less than 40% shooter, awful team player. Others, in my opinion, are Lamar Odom, Steve McNair, Manny, and for coaches Jon Gruden and Pete Carroll.
But led his team to a championship with little help. AI deserved all the adulation he received in his early years, he was a tough little bastard. Yao Ming is overated.

Yao Ming is overated.

I don't think so, he lead his team into the playoffs when T-Mac bascially quit on them.

Many players have led their teams to the playoffs. They repeated tried to brand him as a Shaq level player only to get Derrick Colemen level play from him.

Yes on the first, I'm guess you don't remember how they used to frame the LA vs Houston games. I'd prefer Coleman in his prime so I suppose you are right there, I was trying to be generous.

Anyone who has ever coached or played for the Washington Redskins.
