2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) How many teams in the NFL have two starting-quality RTs? Is Henderson one of the 64 best OTs in pro football? Debatable, with his streaky pass pro, poor run blocking and shortness on physicality. I would've hedged my bet. edit- and let's be wary of that decisions in a vacuum thing. Roman's success came with the best O-line in football and perhaps the best RT in football, we have questions at quarterback and will run the ball about as much as anyone in the league even though this is Hendy's weakness, and our roster is built to win now. And our 3rd OT is a giant question mark, and we have no 4th OT. In my opinion all these things made it a good idea to stengthen RT, one of the two worst starting positions on the team.

All of what you state could be true and it still doesn't mean Henderson is "overrated."
Kirby Jackson Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Under - Hogan (He is reminiscent of Welker in his prime) Edited August 25, 2015 by Kirby Jackson
eball Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Under - Hogan (He is reminiscent of Welker in his prime) I think he's really more of a Welker/Edelman/Largent/Biletnikoff/Hutson clone.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 All of what you state could be true and it still doesn't mean Henderson is "overrated." He's overrated because Erik Pears was arguably a better OT and was ragged on constantly, yet Henderson skates on by.
DC Greg Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Jerry Hughes is still criminally underrated among Bills fans. Last years numbers were not a fluke, and for those watching, Hughes played excellent against the run, as well. So glad we got him locked up. I think we are going to continue to see huge numbers and impact plays from 55 for years to come. It's hard with the big names on that D-line to stand out, but he beats his blocks as good or better than anyone we have. He's one of the few Bills players I can remember that fans of other teams commend more than our own fans do. I think we just have an embarrassment of riches on the D-line, so it can be easy to forget... but I think he's about to emerge as one of consistent best pass rushers in the league.

Only if you're particularly argumentative. Seriously, Pears only had experience on Henderson, and Henderson's measurables are off the charts. I'd rather give the freak athlete some good coaching.

Seriously, Pears only had experience on Henderson, and Henderson's measurables are off the charts. I'd rather give the freak athlete some good coaching. Pears was a far better run blocker, Henderson a better pass blocker. They're comparable. You keep setting bars for Henderson, he's a quality starter, he's better than Pears, but you take offense when someone calls him overrated? I don't see your logic. If you disagree that's fine but I see no reason why Henderson should be disqualified from the thread, yet a UDFA like Robey and a guy like Taylor who's never played are eligible.
todzilla Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I'm not understanding the claims McCoy is overrated before he ever hits the field for the Bills. His "down" season last year was still better than most of the leagues RB's. He's still got a few years before the running back cliff. For me I totally agree with Bill that Mario is underrated nationally. Over: gotta go with Henderson. I'm hoping Wood gets back to form another year removed from injury and with better guard play.

Ohiostyle Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Under: R. Woods Over: E. Wood Overrated: Kyle Williams Uh no...
OldTimer1960 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Most over-rated: Tyrod Taylor - he is the new unknown quantity at this level, therefor he is "the next great undiscovered QB"
KD in CA Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Most over-rated: Tyrod Taylor - he is the new unknown quantity at this level, therefor he is "the next great undiscovered QB" Yep.
Matt in KC Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Under: Incognito - He has looked great in the preseason game, pulling many plays. He might not be the most underrated, but he is going to really help the team this year. I wasn't expecting much, but have been very pleasantly surprised so far.
Mr. WEO Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 over: Leodis, by a mile under: hard to say, everyone has been hyped pretty good at least someone here at some point.
4merper4mer Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 over: Leodis, by a mile under: hard to say, everyone has been hyped pretty good at least someone here at some point. Nobody underrated eh? How many Pats* are underrated? My guess is that by the start of the season there will be 53.
Maury Ballstein Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Overrated......McCoy. People are expecting huge things from him. I've said it before, at this stage on his odometer the eyes are writing checks the feet can't cash. . Over: McCoy Lulz
MyDogLuvsPB Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Under: Robert Woods/Chris Hogan well underrated with regards to the lack of media attention. This could be attributed to the attention given to Watkins however. I just thought they would be getting a lot more catches this year. Over: Bryce Brown it's laughable positively laughable that he'll make the team over Anthony Dixon!! There are several Bill's beat reporters who actually believe this and thus so does the rest of the national media who only parrot the news without bothering to visit TC or actually watch game tape. BB has done nothing to prove he belongs on this team. Dixon on the other hand has done what is asked of him without making many mistakes, plus he's a beast on special teams. And what I've heard and read a fan favorite. Jerry Hughes is still criminally underrated among Bills fans. Last years numbers were not a fluke, and for those watching, Hughes played excellent against the run, as well. So glad we got him locked up. I think we are going to continue to see huge numbers and impact plays from 55 for years to come.

I think we just have an embarrassment of riches on the D-line, so it can be easy to forget... but I think he's about to emerge as one of consistent best pass rushers in the league. Not to me! I've seen what he's done when he's 1 on 1 against LT's and TE's in rushing situations. He's a lot stronger than he looks. He makes some of them look foolish. I watch and think this shouldn't be possible, moving a LT around like that. For doubters go watch that Lions game again. JH; should've made it to the PB, not Kyle Williams as hereterical as that sounds.
