Maybe i was thinking most overpayed but he is defintely overrated.
Who is more overrated than Nate Burleson?
Through most of last year he was, but those 29 INTs and his ridiculous posturinghas tarnished his image a bit. Sonoone really thinks he is still the Brett Favr3e of old.rookBoston said:Brett Favre?

One thing i will say is that i was very surprised when Vick led the Falcons to defeat green bay at home in the playoffs a couple years ago to end Green Bay's streak.. That surprised the **** outta me. If i owned a house i would have lost it in that game. I don't remember what vick's stats were tho.Armen Da Pats Fan said:You really can't even monetion the word overrated without mentioning Michael Vick...
Has there ever been a quarterback who got this kind of money ($62m), for putting up these kinds of numbers?
Vick:
2001-2005:
Completion %: 54.1
Yards: 9031 (Average - 1806 per season)
TD: 51 (Average - 10.2 per season)
QB Rating: 75.8
-----------------------
By comparison, here are Brady's numbers for the same five season span (and I fully realize that comparing Brady to Vick is like comparing a five-star ocean-side resort hotel & spa to a back-alley hooker & crack motel, both in numbers and in character, but...):
Brady:
2001-2005:
Completion %: 61.9
Yards: 18035 (Average - 3607 per season)
TD: 123 (Average - 24.6 per season)
QB Rating: 88.5
-----------------------
Add into the fact that by all accounts, Vick is rapper-chain-swinging, jacked-up-Caprice-with-spinners-driving, leather-hat-turned-around-sideways-wearing, punkass ghetto thug, it's amazing to me that he could get this kind of dough and recognition...
Falcon fans should put his face on the side of a milk carton with the caption "Have you seen our quarterback during crunchtime?"...
(For more on the "Newport News, VA 7th Avenue Vick Bling-Bling Gang-Bangers", see: Vick, Marcus...)
I actually heard one scout say during the draft as he was speaking about interviewing Vince Young (and I am prarphrasing from memory):
"We thought we were going to get a kid all full of himself, like a Michael Vick type, but we were pleasantly surprised at how humble he was..."
