Default SI's Don Banks 2011 Underachieving team at 1/2 way point (3 Pats on list)

Philip Rivers, Chris Johnson headline top underachievers so far this year - Don Banks - SI.com

Why is Dog Killer Vick as leader of the 2-4 dream team and Reggie Bush not on the list?

While Rivers has not played as well as he has in the past - and the two minute drill last week was horrific - I agree that he doesn't deserve to be named most underachieving QB of the season. While his stats are not stellar, the Chargers are still 4-2, with both losses coming on cross country road trips to playoff teams from a year ago that have winning records this year. Vick, Kolb, Bradford, McNabb, Flacco, Freeman - there are a lot of other QBs more underachieving than Rivers right now.

Why is Albert Haynesworth on this list? Meanwhile uber stud pass rushing demon Clay Mathews is on pace for a whopping 6/7 sacks.

It says a lot when you can have 3 players underachieving like that and still be 3 points away from 6-0. Imagine what'll happen once those 3 come around.

Because apparently all big-name trade acquisitions are expected to have impeccable health. It's a shame Banks doesn't realize that the Pats are purposely limiting his play (both by being careful with his back and keep his snap count down) now so he can play well when it counts.

The preseason hype on the guy was too much. People expected him to be his 2007 self. He has been solid, but hasn't make huge plays. For what the Pats gave up and are paying him, he has lived up to his reputation.

Maybe Haynesworth will come around with some better performances like in sacks if he WANTS to play as dominant as he is capable of.

Ochocinco is done as anything more than a JAG 5th WR for depth IMO...I don't care if he has 10 years with the team,he is what he is which is an aging WR with little left to offer unless you want Hollywood type entertainment on Twitter or Dancing With The Stars on TV.

McCourty must be improving enough in the F.O. eyes to have the team say bye to Bodden

I read he only had 2 tackles thus far in 4 games played....Is that correct?

That's not underachieving. He's the only legitimate pass rusher on that defense. At minimum he's double teamed every passing down.
