One of the best things about football is that it is truly a team sport. While some players may shine brighter than others http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/marquise-blair-jersey-authentic , no player is truly capable of carrying a team on their own regardless of what pundits say. When you have 22 athletic freaks on a field that is only 100 yards long and 53 and 1/3 yards wide, there is only so much a talented player can do on his own. Still, people often decide to overlook this aspect of the sport and assign success to specific players, even if they don’t deserve the praise they are being given. This, along with other factors D.K. Metcalf Jersey , is how we see a player become overrated. Like every sport, narratives matter and affect how the public thinks of a player. So when a defensive or offensive player seems to be the one carrying the load, people are quick to heap praise on that player and fail to look at the bigger picture. The rise of fantasy football has also played a major role in this, as people look only at superficial stats and make conclusions about which players are great and which players are bums. It’s easy to see how in today’s environment, a player could quickly become overhyped. This column aims to look at some players that may have been viewed as more superior players than they actually were. One player from each season will be highlighted and will be labeled as the most overrated player of that year for a variety of reasons -- whether they were playing with extremely talented players that helped mask their own struggles or benefited from gaudy numbers that were inflated due to opportunity http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/cody-barton-jersey-authentic , or maybe the player simply developed an unearned reputation. Each player is different in stardom or career longevity, but each one is overrated for a glaring reason.Each player is different in stardom or career longevity, but each one is overrated for a glaring reason. The Milwaukee Brewers placed left-hander Brent Suter on the 10-day disabled list Friday with forearm tightness.

Suter first reported the problem after his last start, when he gave up five runs over five innings against the Twins. He informed the team’s medical staff immediately but when a few days passed and the situation didn’t improve, the decision was made to put Suter on the shelf for at least one start.

”We tried our best to get it out of there Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey ,” Suter said. ”I saw the doc yesterday and he said there’s a strain so we’ve just got to be cautious with it.”

Brewers manager Craig Counsell acknowledged that forearm strains are often a red flag type of injury; a precursor to something more series. But he was confident that in Suter’s case, the situation was caught early enough that a bigger problem can be avoided.

”It’s a minor injury,” Counsell said. ”I think you’re always cautious when a pitcher has a forearm injury. At this point it’s a minor injury, but it’s important we don’t let it become something big. So that’s why we put him on the DL.

”Minor injuries happen. You want to make sure it stays a minor injury. There’s no timetable to it. We’ve got to get him pain-free.”

After bouncing back and forth between Triple-A Colorado Springs and Milwaukee last season, Suter earned a spot in the starting rotation out of spring camp and after a bit of a bumpy start http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/phil-haynes-jersey-authentic , has been one of the Brewers’ most consistent starters. He’s 8-5 with a 4.53 ERA in 18 appearances this season, including two in relief, and had gone 7-2 with a 3.60 ERA in a nine-outing stretch before allowing nine runs over his last two outings.

”I was trying my best not to miss a start all year,” Suter said. ”That was my No. 1 goal coming into the season, so it’s disappointing that way. But I’ve got to listen to the docs. They know what they’re talking about.”

Suter was slated to start Saturday when the Brewers continued their four-game series with the Braves at Miller Park. Instead Ugo Amadi Jersey , right-hander Aaron Wilkerson will get the nod. The 29-year-old is 2-2 with a 2.08 in eight appearances (seven starts) for Colorado Springs this season and pitched three innings of relief for the Brewers last weekend during a loss to the Reds in Cincinnati.

”He’s on line and he’s ready to go,” Counsell said.
