Partially agree. Careerwise he's not overrated but hes been awful this season.

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.
But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.
When Mankins is healthy, he's one of the top Guards in football. The problem is, he's hardly healthy. Last years SB playing on a torn knee, this year, I bet he's only playing at about 75%. When he's 100% healthy, I love his talent and nastiness.
Lol.....I'm sure it has nothing to do with the opponent

Mankins got his big contract after the 2010 season, but he played the 2nd half of the season, as fresh as a daisy, against guys that had a half a season of wear and tear.

Definitely overpaid. I haven't seen enough tape to know why we can't run. But it is weird. His replacement was doing pretty well. I was surprised they signed him to his huge contract...there's a limit to the huge contracts any team can have...you can't "pay" everyone. Welker, Vollmer, etc., then spikes mccourty then solder...eventually they need an influx of talent.

Nastiness is not, after the whistle has blown, pushing the guy that beat you to sack the quarterback.
Mankins has been overrated for a while, yet somehow, someway, he manages to make the Pro Bowl and a better and more deserving player like Solder comes in 5th in the Pro Bowl voting. Watch the film and you'll see who is more worthy.
Donald Thomas actually played better at LG when he had filled in. And I am not kidding.
