Who are the most overrated and underrated Bills?

[GreggTX]

Who would you pick? 

Overrated: Ed Oliver

Underrated: Ray Davis

[Pete]

Underrated- Josh Allen

Over rated- Dalton Kincaid 

[Roundybout]

Overrated - Taylor Rapp

 

Underrated - Spencer Brown

[Pete]

Reggie Gilliam is super underrated 

[BuffaloBillyG]

Overrated - Dion Dawkins. That's not to say I think he's bad. He's not. But I don't see him as a Pro Bowl level too 10 LT that many here seems to. I have him as very average. He does his job but is at times very beatable especially  in big moments and commits too many dumb penalties to be a top LT IMO.

 

Underrated - For this year coming up I'm going to say Joey Bosa. Many here already seemingly are writing him off. I'm not. Guy has one year to prove to the NFL that he can stay healthy and be a difference maker as a pass rusher. A lot of these injuries that have kept him off the field are going to be played through this year. He's going to be motivated to wreck games. Plus he's going from playing in front of one of the most laid back and passive fan bases to playing in front of BillsMafia. Players, especially on defense feed off the crowd. He's gonna eat. I'm expecting a solid season from him.

I agree with @Kirby Jackson it depends whether you mean by Bills fans or by the general NFL media / talking heads. 

 

By Bills fans:

Overrated: Shakir

Underrated: Oliver

 

By wider NFL media etc:

Overrated: Kincaid

Underrated: Benford

 

[MJS]

Overrated: James Cook, Gregory Rousseau, Ty Johnson, Khalil Shakir, Dorian Williams, O'Cyrus Torrence

 

Underrated: Spencer Brown, Damar Hamlin, Taylor Rapp, Christian Benford, Dane Jackson

 

There are some really good players in the overrated category, but I think Bills fans think they are better than they actually are. There are some poor players in the underrated category, but I think Bills fans think they are worse than they actually are. Spencer Brown and Christian Benford are elite, but I think many fans don't realize just how good they are.

 

I almost put Josh Allen in the overrated category, because I think some fans think he never does anything wrong and never contributes to the team losing, and is completely above criticism. But, he is a top 1 to 3 player in the entire NFL, so I figured that was splitting hairs a bit too much.

Really? It seems like he's a fan favorite despite not doing anything of real significance.

Underrated - O'Cyrus Torrence

Dear God the draft cant get here soon enough.

[Process]

Overrated Greg R

Underrated Spencer B

[wppete]

Overrated: James Cook

Underrated: Ocyrus Torrence/Spencer Brown 

[H2o]

Overrated - probably Shakir. He's like the Walmart version of Amon Ra. 

 

Underrated - Christian Benford (even by yours truly). I just started looking into his coverage stats and didn't realize how good he actually was.

Is Shakir overrated though? I don't think the majority of Bills fans, including myself, see him as any more than a really good No. 2 like Robert Woods used to be.

I like Skakir. I'm glad we gave him a contract extension. I see him as Josh's new Beasley. A perfect and reliable outlet for Josh, but he's really just another solid Slot WR. I think Bills fans put him on a pedestal like he's something more than what he really is. 

[Bills!Win!]

Overrated - bills mafia. Everyone whines even though we have the franchise QB we’ve been waiting our lifetimes for 

 

underrated - Milano. Everyone hates on the guy because of a few freak injuries that could’ve happened to anyone 

[Bermuda Triangle]

Overrated: Rousseau, Oliver, Kincaid (to a lesser extent after the end of last season)

Underrated: Dawkins, Allen, McGovern

Here is what I would say about Reggie Gilliam - when he comes into the game on offense, just watch him and nothing else. The guy is a super run blocker. He almost always locks onto his guy and takes the guy out. I think he is unbelievable in his technique and his assignment detail.
