Who is the most overrated Texan? Can be a player, coach, administrator, etc.
Second question: What is the most overrated thing in the world? Such as Italian cooking, etc.

My answers 1. Duane Brown. Afraid he's getting old.
2. A sunshiny day.
 
btw, Duane Brown is 29, If that's getting old, even in football, the entire world is in trouble

Well, it was Andre Johnson, but they made the smart move. It has to be Brian Cushing now.

I'm actually willing to give Cushing the 2015 season at his current salary. He either regains his form and we keep him, or he doesn't and we either cut him or reduce his salary. In terms of over-rated I think we're actually in pretty good shape, this year the Texans cut the over-rated/over-paid (AJ, Myers, and Swagg) and held on to the guys who were at value (Kareem Jackson.)

Under-rated is tough until we get into the season... I'll throw out Clowney, because if he does anything positive it will shock some of the resident naysayers.

Rick Smith - likely the most over and underrated.
Polls - Or maybe we should take a poll to determine if polls are overrated?

No, I'm not a pilot. Would have been but it turned out I couldn't pass the color vision test.
I grew up trying to farm in the parched climate and unbearable summer heat of central TX. Never could get enough rain and I still like overcast, rainy days.

1. Overrated Texan - Mallett, just based purely on the amount of times he and his rocket launching arm is mentioned on every single Texans message board. It's calmed down a bit now but the Mallett hype last year rivaled the Case hype of 2 years ago. Of course, maybe he deserves it, who knows? But right now he's my overrated Texan.

2. Overrated thing (in America) - 1980's nostalgia.
Overrated thing (world) - wedding ceremonies. It's costly, the groom is usually hung over, the gifts are cheesy, the bride and groom are going to shove cake in each others faces, there's always some old drunk guy trying to cop a feel on the maid of honor, sappy music, bad toasts, it's crowded, and there's between a 40-50% chance the bride and groom will be divorced within 10 years. And in some countries (including this one) there's a chance that during the reception violence will break out. Just happened in KC. http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2015/04...g-fight-leaves-mother-of-the-bride-paralyzed/
 
The most overages Texan is the OL. They have the potential to dominate, but truth is our QB & Arian Foster helped the OL more than the OL helped the team.

A new system & some communication issues appeared to be the main culprit. I hope year two & locking down the QB position helps & their physical gifts can take over.

The most overated thing in the world... dolphin . They're not that smart & make fine tuna.
 
Most overrated Texan might be Hopkins. He is getting a lot of hype as the future but has not really carried the load yet. We'll see on that one.

Most overrated thing in the world..... capitalism.
 
Brian Cushing is, by far, the most overrated Texan. Hands down.

Most overrated thing in the world? The phrase "Patience is a virtue" and the idea that patience is important. I have seen "patience" used by people who were lazy, and had no sense of urgency at all. Sometimes, yes, patience is important, but, sometimes it's used as a crutch.

What did you expect out of BOB's rookie yr as HC? I think he did about as well as fans could've expected. Due to this yrs draft and slightly harder schedule I expect about the same record next yr as last yr. Unless Mallett can become the QB we all hope he becomes.

I agree with you on the beach and look forward to going to Galveston this weekend. It's no Coronado Beach though.
 
Currently on roster? Even with such limited snaps Clowney. Dude is more a prototypical 4-3 De is who a project 3-4 olb who was taken with the #1 overall pick. After the injury and the subsequent sunshine being blown up everyone's arse I am just hoping that he makes a meaningful impact.

I don't get the overrated status here of Cushing unless you're basing it on salary vs what he's been able to do between injuries he had no control over. Dude had his knees taken out from him twice on questionable plays by an offensive player. Make no mistake though a healthy Cushing is huge for this defense.

Most overrated thing period? Musicals.

I agree with the wedding reception being overrated. A simple solemn ceremony should be common and save the money for a party at a later date. The party cheapens the solemn ceremony at great expense.

Yup, don't know why anyone would, but somebody clearly hacked my TT account. The nerve ...




Touché.
 
overrated: Godsey, OC in name only. Would have liked to have seen a real one hired

underrated: J.J. - the fact that he didn't win MVP for such a historic season means he's underrated

Team's doctors most over rated. Most under rated is toilet paper; everyone uses it but never talk about it except commercials. Most over rated in world is an individual's opinion.

The beach is a close second for most overrated. Most underrated might be non-conformity.

Our beach is over rated. Dirty, smelly... brown water, clumpy sand.

I didn't care for Daytona. water was just as dark as ours... & it was like 73 degrees in late August. 73 is too cold for me. Yeah, I'm a wuss. Sue me.

Mobile, any beach in the Florida panhandle... those are nice beaches. Not overated in any way. Same for the beaches in Cuba, & the American Virgin Islands. Pretty white sand, clear water, cool, but no where near cold.

I bet the California beaches are overated... unless you're into surfing & the scenery.

Which begs the question: why does toilet paper need commercials? Are there people out there seriously thinking about not buying it?

They'll come up within petting distance in Galveston as well but the brown water makes them hard to see.

Yup. I've been spoiled by the places I've been able to travel. If I can't see my feet I no longer bother with the beach.

I always thought the stingray shin guards and the shuffle walk when wade fishing were just for the paranoid. Until--by strange forces of nature the water in the galveston bay was actually clear--and I saw just how many of those suckers are skittering away from your feet while your tromping through 2 foot water.
