Most overrated Vol

[TENN MAN 13]

James Banks?

Palardy, the 5 star number 1 kicker in the nation. :bash:

And don't forget, top UT insider journalist.

James Banks?

Nope. Was absolutely great while here. Kicked off the team because of his love of the hippie lettuce. Still, was a great player while here. Lived up to the hype plus some. Unfortunately, couldn't say no off the field

Some of those guys didn't play here long so it's a real stretch to say overrated on them. Maurice Staley? He contributed as a freshman. Got kicked off for some reason and then returned many years later to get his degree. Bryce Brown looked pretty darn good the first part of his freshman season before the hip injury got to be too troublesome.

Eric Ainge is easily the most overrated in my lifetime and it's not even close. The guy NEVER had any success when under any pressure l and had to have the offense simplified just to make him somewhat effective. If not for the return of David Cutcliffe, Eric Ainge would have never seen the field his last two years

No, that's pretty much exactly why they were overrated. You know, guys who were supposed to be good but...were not.

That said, considering my list in comparison to your entry that Eric Ainge is the most overrated Vol ever....it's pretty obvious you and I have significant differences in our interpretation of what 'overrated' means. Any definition that says the 2nd leading passer at UT of all time was overrated is...well, a bit goofy.

Nice of you to bring stats into it, but also dumb as dumb. My God, he threw at least 35-50 passes every game his junior and senior season.

You apparentley don't get it. James Banks was good while here. Maurice Staley was good while here. Bryce Brown, good while here. Overrated means you were advertised as a good player and then wasn't one. That's not the case of any of those players.
