nfl.com users have the ability to vote overrated or underrated on each member of the NFL Top 100.

 

First thing that jumps out at me is that #1 player Adrian Peterson is being voted currently as "underrated". :lol:

 

Others that I find interesting:

 

#2 Peyton Manning - overrated (still a great QB, but #2 in the league? i have to agree here)

#6 Aaron Rodgers - underrated (agree)

#7 Aldon Smith - overrated (agree)

#8 Arian Foster - underrated (disagree)

#15 Robert Griffin III - overrated (AGREE)

#17 Matt Ryan - overrated (AGREE)

#21 Reggie Wayne - underrated (disagree)

#23 Andrew Luck - overrated (AGREE)

#31 Clay Matthews - underrated (disagree)

#33 Patrick Peterson - overrated (agree)

#35 Dez Bryant - underrated (DISAGREE)

#43 Eli Manning - underrated (agree)

#46 Cam Newton - underrated (AGREE)

#51 Russell Wilson - underrated (agree)

#53 Champ Bailey - underrated (DISAGREE)

#64 Alfred Morris - underrated (agree)

#71 Trent Richardson - underrated (DISAGREE)

#76 Matthew Stafford - underrated (agree)

#79 Luke Kuechly - underrated (AGREE)

#82 Colin Kaepernick - overrated (agree)

#84 Steve Smith - underrated (AGREE)

#93 Anquan Boldin - underrated (agree)

Is this sarcastic? Depending on your answer I'll give you pie.

Not even a little bit. 1814 passing yards for 10 TDs and only 3 INTs, plus another 415 yards and 5 TDs on the ground for a QB rating of 98.3 and a Super Bowl appearance in 7 starts is pretty damn good. Considering that QB is by far the most important position in football, I have no problem with him being #82.

Then again, I'm not one of the Panthers fans who feels threatened when any QB other than Can Newton receives praise. There are other good QBs not named Can Newton. I'm damn happy with our guy and it doesn't bunch up my panties when others are happy with their guy.

I wouldn't go as far as saying Kaepernick is overrated, he's got a bright future. That squad that he's on is fuging stacked though. The same one that Alex Smith lead to the NFC championship and a few bad plays from the Superbowl in 2011. It's a legitimate question to ask would the 49ers had won it all last year with Alex Smith instead?

How is Steve Smith or Luke Kuechly being underrated? Newton isn't either but I digress only because you have to pick between the two, if you choose to pick at all.

Kuechly had a monster rookie season where he is lapped by other rookies on this list. He deserves higher ..Smitty about right.

Cam is right where he should be with Luck and RG3 overrated bc of 1st year success.

AP is neither underrated or overrated, he's #1 plain and simple. He doesn't garner the attention of Kaepernick or Wilson or RG3, so he fits the bill. Players love and respect him and he's a great dude. He's been injured how many times? And rushed for 2000 yards. He's the prototypical player of htis generation.

I wonder about that as well.  I do not think Alex Smith is as bad as everyone else does, but I guess we will find out this year.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
