Lance Moore has been underrated for a season or two. Colston has been underrated his entire career. He's been in the league for how long and still no pro bowl?

No way Sproles is UNDERrated


Completely disagree. Sproles could get as much praise as Brees and still be underrated IMO. That guy is a freakish talent.

Colston season averages through seven seasons:

Yards: 1,056
Receptions: 76
Yards per rec: 13.9
TD: 8.3
1st Downs: 54
Pro Bowls: 0

Franchise leader in total touchdowns and third in receiving yards through seven seasons.

There's also this thing where he apparently fumbles a lot. He has nine career (1.29/season) fumbles and six career lost fumbles (0.86/season).

It's possible that he'll retire with near Hall of Fame caliber numbers.

He's the very definition of underrated.

Mike "Predator" Mckenzie.

Played on some terrible defenses and was consistently great.

Problem with Lance Moore is he isn't healthy enough most of the time.

In the last six years, besides 2009 when he only played seven regular season games, he's missed three games.

From what I learned from Chad's pre-draft Tavon Austin thread, Lance Moore is "a dependable safety blanket, but he's not a difference maker nor a gamebreaker", and "is one of the worst in the business in YAC at a dismal ranking of 147th."

Apparently some here would argue that Moore's overrated by being underrated.

While I wouldn't call Moore a game changer, he can definitely take over a game when he's in the zone. Dude has had two 1000 yard seasons. He makes some of the most incredible catches I've ever seen. I specifically remember one in last years home game against Atlanta. Guys draped all over him and nearly does a backflip to make the catch
