You gotta admit, that was something special teebow did that day.

btw, that play was officially called "The Mile-High-Goodbye" by ESPN.

teebow is a boss; the definition of a player making his team, and others around him better.  i'm pretty sure i lost my voice cheering for denver that game.

Seriously?  Tebow is more that definition of a player who is overhyped and overrated.  A player who gets all of the credit when his team wins and gets none of the blame when they lose.  Im looking forward to him getting exposed when the Jets give up on Sanchez and make him the starter.

This is football.  It's not like comparing baseball players with Sabermetrics.  Two stats matter:  wins and loses.  It is impossible to argue the difference Teebow made last year - he took that team from the outhouse to the penthouse.  IIRC, in interviews, Teebow shouldered the burden solely when Denver lost, and gave praise to everyone else when they won.  The guy took more hate from the secular progressives in this country, and had to constantly answer media questions regarding if he is the QB of the future, or just for the moment.  The guy received zero credit; credit was constantly awarded to the defense, and Matt Prater.

Yeah, numbers that small are difficult to fathom. The defense played better. And they still lost 4 of their last 5 games.

Since this thread's about the Steelers and not Tim Frickin' Tebow, here are some more "classic Polamalu":

Six time pro-bowler, 2010 defensive player of the year. Sure sucks to be over-rated like that!

LOL...what???  He got zero credit?  Really?  Im not sure which NFL you were watching but Tebow got ALL the credit and none of the blame.  Like I said, Im looking forward to Tebow being exposed for the overrated, no talent bum that he really is.  The New York media isnt going to coddle him like the media in Denver did.

Congratulations. You found a single play!

Ray Lewis isn't the topic here either.

i'm confused?

phew, i thought i was the only one.  it looks like warren sapp agrees too...but then again, what does he know about the NFL and playing defense.

[boogielicious]

I'm a big Polamalu fan even though I am a Pats fan.  I think the Steelers struggled when he was hurt and covered up how much he was injured last year.  the Steelers, as a team, were very beat up by the time the playoffs arrived otherwise they would have beat Denver easily.  Health is a huge factor in the playoffs.

That video doesn't support your case like you think it does. I think someone could make a better case that Sapp was overrated than Troy. You haven't proven your case, and you won't be able to overcome the staggering pile of evidence against you. But thanks for trying.

P.S. Troy isn't the reason "the Steelers suck so bad." They don't suck, but they do under-perform a bit. But hey, I'm hard on them. We expect to win the SB every year. ;)

Haha!  I thought you agreed that he was " Over-rated "...hmph.

"Staggering pile of evidence"...was that the same evidence used that caused your sudden change of heart?  What size are those John Kerry flip-flops you have on anyway?

You said " the single most overrated pro athlete in existence; past or present." I did not agree to that. Please learn to read. Thank you.

Ravens fan here.  Love the thread title.  Fantastic stuff.

My only thoughts are, perhaps the rotund people of Pittsburgh ought to stop putting french fries on their sandwiches.

Once again, I suggest you learn to read. The debate is not that someone might be slightly over-rated. You said the single most over-rated player of all time.

Says the fan of a team who wears purple and, well, exists in Baltimore, MD.
