Bo Jackson

For someone talked about so much, some of most unremarkable stats ever. His NFL career season avg's rival Bilal Powell's. He'd be an undrafted permanent fantasy waiver wire player if he existed now... Capable of making a big play once in a while, but not worth drafting. Like Leon Washington.

he averaged 5.5 yds/carry playing as soon as baseball season was over. definitely not overrated.
 
Rooney.
I remember when he scored that overhead kick in the EPL, everyone was wanking over it for weeks.
He's not that good.

No.
 
Since the world cup was the basis for this thread, I'm gonna go out on limb and say Diego Costa. This has nothing to do with his performance at the world cup cos all the Spanish players were shit. I just don't think Costa can replicate or come come close to form he had at Atletico when he moves to Chelsea. Would be loved to be proven wrong though.
 
Complaining about Gerrard is silly, considering all the chances that Rooney was handed that he wasted.
Yeah, he finally scored one, but anyone else who had been given half the chances he's been given would have scored plenty.

Luis Suarez is otherworldly.

You do realize he only played 10 games a season due to baseball right? That's why his season avg's don't look so good.

Gerrard was total shit both games.

I hope you are joking. You are talking about one of the only true two sport athletes in the modern era.

As for his career season average in the NFL, he didn't get the touches to compete yardage wise, but his production is unquestionable. His career rushing average per touch is 5.4.

The all time running back career record is 5.2 held by Jim Brown. Adrian Peterson's is 5.0.
 
Crosby,
yeah, I said it!
. Dude does not show up in the playoffs, sure he played alright in the Olympics, but he was not the best player on the ice.

Gerrard gave the league to Man city as well, he's not suited to playing a deep midfield role
