tigerjake the thing I can't understand is how can someone be overrated who was 20-3, 9-0 against Top 25 Teams, winner of 2 Rose Bowls, All Pac Ten QB, Rose Bowl record holder for career TD's, threw for 6,000+ yards and is in the Top 5 of most of USC Passing records as a starting QB in Major College football and now playing in the NFL be called overrated?
Chill out dude. I think what he means by him being overrated (at least my take) is that he was like most Evangel QB's with all world numbers who was suppose to come in and be Peyton Manning/Brett Favre/Tom Brady/Drew Brees but panned out to be an average QB on an exceptional team.

quote:Jason, I think he was a good football player, but for the hype he got from ESPN he fell in the overrated category. I think Sanchez is in the same position this year. ESPN hypes up every USC QB.

Are you their neighbor/relative/friend or something? Let it go.
Nope, just don't like it when people make ignorant, stupid comments about someone who had as successful College Career as someone like Booty had. It would be one thing if you are talking about Josh Booty or Jamie Howard or Ron Powlus, and any other player who wasen't all that in College but saying Booty sucked and was average is just plan stupid, ignorant and lack of facts relative to the subject matter.

If Booty was average by your view point then so would Jamarcus Russell be as well.

Booty was overrated, and leinart was overrated for the NFL. Leinart was a pretty good college QB though.
quote:I never said he sucked, but the way the media hyped him up he ended up overrated IMO. I'm sure I'm not the only one either.

I know jake I wasen't trying to say you were. You're right you are not alone in thinking he was overrated but I wonder what the guy or many other College football players would have to do to NOT be overrated? His stats are about as good as you can get in the 2 years he started at USC. He also missed 3 games last year and had he not been hurt and missed those games I think he could have ended up being a Heisman Finalist in New York. Not saying he should have or anything but giving him 3 more games would make a big difference in stats and they prolly don't lose to Oregon if he played. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not a Booty. Just stating facts about a guy that is getting hammered by people for no reason and then people give no reason or ammo to back up their claims. Mean while I just give raw facts.

Yeah, making an NFL team is over-rated!

plus Abe's sexual orientaion came into question
You're a moron. Abe is not even close to being gay...and yes have you seen his wife?
People who dog the Booty's have no idea what they are talking about. The pull stuff out their arse and think they know they story when they don't. I like it when people talk shite about them. It's freaking halarious. It show's how stupid they really are.

No I don't work at Evangel and never have. I do however, have a couple of job interviews at LSU and Northwestern next month.
Posted on 12/22/08 at 5:13 pm to Jason
I know you and I have gone back and forth about the dominant force that is evangel and I thought you told me that...Good luck with your interviews. The rant is interviewing QB coaches so I'm glad you got an interview!!
