Booye, stick to playing the poly. Ben was amazing in the Cincy, Indy, & Denver playoff games last year and got hit by a god damn mini van this summer. He finally got back to par in the KC and Atlanta games, doubt you watched em, but he looked very good, and until he took a helmet to helmet blow - anohter concussion. But hey, I"m biased


As for my pick of most overrated, it has to be Reggie Bush. The hype was bigger for him than it is for Bernardini, yet the guy has done nothing this year. 70 carries for 212 yards (3.0 avg) and 0 TD's rushing or receiving! 1 TD total. Sure, he's young, but overrated still.

They are making Ben do too much and it has exposed him as nothing more than an average NFL QB. Their yards per rush and yards per pass play are barely down from last year (4.0 to 3.8 and 7.7 to 7.6). The big difference is that they are letting Ben throw more. Last year they ran 59% of the time. This year it is only 49% of the time. Not surprisingly allowing Ben to throw more has produced more interceptions, 11 this year after 12 all of last season plus they have 3 QB fumbles already (1 by Batch) which typically occur in passing situations. What is interesting is when Batch has played they have stuck to their approach of running 60% of the time and have been effective. For some reason when Ben is in they feel the need to change the ratio to pass more than they run. I don't understand why you would vacate your recipe for success from last season. Losing the Bus hurt but they should still be running the ball more to reduce turnovers and let their defense win them games.
