Default Buck Pierce: Is he over rated?

I know he looked good (at times) in the last 3 minutes of the game on the weekend, but before that, the only thing he was hitting was the gatorade cooler after 2 downs.

The game would have been over when his 3rd and 4 pass literally did hit the water cooler. A phantom offside call kept the drive alive.

The Riders then would have been able to run the clock down to zero but were forced to punt after their 2nd down conversion became 2nd and 9 (phantom penalty) and they were stopped on the following play.

Never mind the pass to Claremont that nutmegged three defenders. What should have been a turnover and the game (again), instead made the rookie shine again.

With a WHOLE LOT of luck, this guy got the job done, and he got more positive print than he deserved.

I'm not sold on this guy yet and I'm not sure his team mates are either.
