schuhbdoo Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 It's contrary to reality!!!! and he plays behind a dominant offensive line in a run-happy offense. Really? The OL was not dominant last year. It was injury riddled and not a bright spot on the offense or the team. The OL will be much improved this year but for the author to say that the OL was dominant last year is completely false. If the line was dominate then we would've won 3 more games, all the games we lost by 1 or two points would've been wins. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/367605-college-football-2010s-top-10-most-overrated-runningbacks#page/4 Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Bleacher Report. Nuff said. I don't even click those links anymore. 90% of posters here have a more informed opinion. Quote Link to comment
KingBlank Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm sorry to all you Helu lovers out there, but I agree with the guy. Not for his opinions about the line play, but Roy's inconsistencies and constant injuries make for him to labeled "over-rated". With out any true definition of the word it is hard to explain exactly, but Roy will never be the back some of you think he will be, he is no Brandon Jackson. He just doesn't have the BEASTMODE factor. 3 Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Mark Ingram as an honorable mention? I dont know about that. 1 Quote Link to comment
schuhbdoo Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Mark Ingram as an honorable mention? I dont know about that. I agree, when the article started off that way, I should've stopped reading it. 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Mark Ingram as an honorable mention? I dont know about that. Bama could have replaced him with almost any of their other backs and been fine. 1 Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Let's find a way to get this to Helu... He can put it up on his locker with his :01, and feed off of it to become an animal. : ) 3 Quote Link to comment
nillie welson Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 It sounded like Unsportsmanlike Conduct was insinuating that Bo was a little peeved/concerned about Roy's lack of toughness...for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment

With out any true definition of the word it is hard to explain exactly, but Roy will never be the back some of you think he will be, he is no Brandon Jackson. He just doesn't have the BEASTMODE factor. I'm of the opinion that if someone suffers from a rash of injuries, that he is not over-rated. He may not be a beast, and at times I think that Bo questioned his toughness. But to see him play with the shoulder injuries he did (fumbling), and the fact that it led to him not being able to hold onto the ball should tell us that he does have some level of toughness. Shoot, his injuries really helped ISU win that game, if I remember correctly. If healthy, he is the best back in the Big 12. Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Did anyone happen to go on to the next list? Zac Lee was #6 on "top 10 most overrated QBs". I'm sorry BR, but Zac Lee does NOT belong on this list. Quote Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 A agree that Helu is a couple injuries away from being great and why he is on the list......but that top 10 list was done terribly. Bad reasons, etc.....heck the auhor's #3 was a team not a RB. He starts almost all breakdowns with "it's hard for me to put him here" or "I have no explantion for this." Waste of time.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Did anyone happen to go on to the next list? Zac Lee was #6 on "top 10 most overrated QBs". I'm sorry BR, but Zac Lee does NOT belong on this list. Very true. I don't see anybody in the media giving Zac Lee love. He got a lot of it in the non-con and early in Big 12 play. But, after that, nobody said much about him. As far as Helu is concerned, I don't think he's overrated. Why? Well, because I don't think he's a great back to begin with. He's good, but he's not great. Quote Link to comment

GMoose Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I don't even think I would call Helu "overrated" It's not like he's getting tons of media love and pub. Yes his average dropped, but he still went for 1100 plus yards. he may not be the toughest SOB NU's ever seen, but aside from Jahvid Best, he runs the stretch better than any back in the country. And a "dominant" O-line? I don't know if I'd say that... Quote Link to comment
