He makes a good point about Suh being easier to block last season than he was back in his rookie year. But most overrated in the NFL? WTF?? That is such a load of crap. WHen teams play the Lions they gameplan their offense around containing (or avoiding) Suh. The only explanation I can think of for this hatchet job article is that the author, Pete Prisco, is a clueless douchenozzle--or he has an axe to grind. Or maybe both.
I read something the other day that they were thinking about moving Suh around on the line to give him more opportunities to make plays. I'll see if I can't find it. The Lions coaches don't seem to think he's overhyped.
This exactly. Like the b***h at the Holiday bowl a couple years ago jumping Pelini for not letting a Marine call a play or whatever, when we're behind :dunno
She writes crap like that all the time. She's the female version of Jason Whitlock.

For most other schools, yes. For this specific example, since I've been a "regular" at one of their message boards for quite a while, no.
Of course I have a little bias—which I believe is what you’re trying to get at. Don’t all college football fans follow the players from their team when they make it to the NFL? But I don’t think it's my NU bias speaking when I say that Ndamukong Suh is NOT the most overrated NFL player. Heck, he led in the Pro-Bowl voting among NFL tackles for most of last season—right up until Thanksgiving weekend when Suh did that fake pro-wresting stomp on Green Bay’s Deitrich-Smith. I think most NFL fans would agree that Suh isn't the *most* overrated. That's just pretty much a crock of sh#t. It's just an attention getting column by some hack writer who is too lazy to find real news to report.
The tOSU thing is a bit different. It involved a bunch of players, and coaches, from the team. It was a serious enough situation that it resulted in ncaa sanctions, post-season prohibition, and it eventually got the head coach fired. Still, I don't recall espn ever coming out and saying that Tressell was bad at coaching, or overrated, because of the tattoo scandal. And the tOSU scandal also differs from Suh inasmuch as Suh's transgressions involved a handful of plays over two seasons (with most of the flack coming over the fake pro-wrestling stomp), not multiple players and coaches.
