St. Louis Rams CBS's lead senior writer Pete Prisco wrote about most overrated and
underrated players for all 32 NFL teams. Fans of teams like the Houston
Texans or the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams will probably be
upset by his list. St. Louis Rams Should Ram fans be upset too? Let's look at
his choices for the most overrated and underrated Rams. St. Louis Rams There
were hopes that Cook would give the Rams that dynamic receiving tight end that
would make life easier for Sam Bradford and improve the Rams passing offense. St. Louis Rams Cook showed the athletic ability
and speed to be in the conversation as one of the most effective tight ends in
the NFL. However, Cook wasn't able to put the pieces together after his
outstanding game against the Arizona Cardinals, where he had 7 receptions,
141 yards, and two touchdowns. Cook was just okay the rest of the way finishing
the season with 51 receptions, 671 yards, and five touchdowns. Last season
wasn't a complete failure for Cook, there's still a chance that he can be
better with Bradford. But he didn't live up to
the expectations of his five-year, $35 million contract that included $19
million guaranteed, an amount that makes him one of the highest paid tight ends
in the league. I don't agree with Cook, being the most overrated player, but
from a national standpoint Cook was the big name that the Rams brought over
with big expectations. I would say that Janoris Jenkins was the most
overrated player last season. St. Louis Rams There were huge expectations
placed on Jenkins and he played okay, at best, but I can say that it didn't
look like he progressed from the previous season. It's hard not to underrate
Barksdale. He was just a random guy from the street when the Rams added him who
became a really good starter. Barksdale is fundamentally sound and there's
really not that many negatives to say about him. I do agree with Barksdale
being underrated. St. Louis Rams I wouldn't be surprise if he played better
this year than last year as a full time starter. St. Louis Rams So do you guys agree with
Prisco? Who else do you think could be considered underrated or overrated? St,
Louis Rams.
