Sorry if it was mention already (on mobile and too lazy to look) but I thought Landon Johnson was terribly underrated. Nobody seemed to make much of a fuss when he left, but I remember thinking he was a mucher bigger loss.
I think we snagged him in the 3rd. He saw a ton of PT and developed extremely well I thouhht. I think he had a couple 100+ tackle years, and led the team his last year. And this was right after the disaster that was Thurman and Pollack, and right befofe we started dumpster diving and calling up Dhani Jones on his couch. (i.e. We weren't sitting on a pile of starting caliber LB's at the time)
The dude left and it just seemed liked no one noticed or cared. I'm pretty sure he didnt get any crazy deal or anything. I remember wondering why the hell no one seemed to be sweating his loss. I felt like I was taking crazy pills. It was mind bottling!
I do have another, but it would take more effort than Im willing to give to properly explain... Carson Palmer is ridiculously underrated by current fans. He was a legitimate top 5 QB before and AFTER his injury. Carson Palmer in 04, 05, 06, 07 makes Andy Dalton look like hot garbage. People can point to inflated stats a decade out, and lean on hurt feelings all they want, but if you actually watched those years you'd know what a talent he was. It's a shame things turned out as they did, but he deserves way more respect IMHO.
