Readers pick their most underrated player in NFL

By Gregg Rosenthal

So the powerful wizards behind the NFL's social media accounts asked a simple question on Tuesday: Who is the most underrated player in the NFL?

The question pairs nicely with Elliot's Harrison's "All-Underrated Team," a squad that makes a lot of sense. Our readers are a different matter. To the results, from 6,586 users on Facebook:

1. Tim Tebow: 15.1%
2. Tony Romo: 13%
3. Von Miller: 7.6%
4. Matt Ryan: 7.1%
5. Russell Wilson: 6.9%
6. Alex Smith: 5.5%
7. Joe Flacco: 5.5%
8. Cam Newton: 4.8%
9. Tom Brady: 4.2%
10. Steven Jackson: 3.9%

Yeah, I'm speechless. The results were so surprising that our crack staff re-checked the results many times. Tim Tebow is a lot of things, but "underrated" as a player is not the first one that comes to mind. My strong guess: Tebow and Romo also would land near the top of many "overrated" lists. (For the record, I like seeing Romo so high. He's been knocked too much. He'd have a lot more playoff success if he played for a different organization.)

Let's go to the Twitter results:

1. Matt Ryan: 30.3%
2. Ben Roethlisberger: 21.9%
3. Sean Lee: 14.8%
4. Tony Romo: 6.9%
5. London Fletcher: 4.7%
6. Cam Newton: 4.0%
7. Stevan Ridley: 3.8%
8. Alex Smith: 3.6%
9. Marques Colston: 3.1%
10. Antonio Cromartie: 2.6%

The lesson, as always: Twitter users are a lot smarter than Facebook users on average. Sean Lee is an inspired choice to be third. Roethlisberger absolutely belongs so high; he didn't even make the Facebook list. Ridley, Colston and Fletcher also were nice choices.

He is underrated when you hear all the trash talked about him. Say what you like he is Mr. clutch and consistently wins football games under pressure.
 
Was horribly overrated in Denver when he was winning, but is underrated in the sense that people think he's not a chance as a starter despite him having shown in Denver that he's worth a shot at least (but that said, he doesn't belong on the above list). Was also very harshly done by in NY.

Thanks, that's all I'm saying.

He's no Tom Brady but he can definitely win games and brings a reliability in close games. There's no way he's been given a fair opportunity at New York and yet has been dealt a huge amount of trash talk. I really think he'd surprise people with a full season at starter. I know not all college stars make it but we're talking about arguably the best college player ever (at least stats wise) and he's never been given a full season to start. Has he's flaws but I think he would have done better than some 2012 starting QBs.
 
I don't think he'll ever get a chance as a starter. I just dont understand where it all went wrong. Why did the Jets take him when they had no belief in him? Why did Elway hate him so much when he was a winner?

ESPN the other day were saying the Jets might hold onto him for a bit longer because they've been so impressed by his work ethic in trying to improve his passing over the off season.

I hope someone picks him up. Teams with running option QBs could do a lot worse than bringing him in as a back up.

I just can't fathom why people who saw his last 2 months at Denver are still saying he's no good.

Number 1 quality in a good quarterback? He wins...
 
I think there were a few times that Broncos won in spite of him but yeah he did improve towards the end of that season.

I suppose once you know you have to change your whole offence early in the season to accomodate his inadequacies (passing longer than 10 yds) , it's not going to last long.

Feel sorry for him in a way though, the Jets farce was a complete joke and despite some of his "antics" he seemed like a nice enough guy without a lot of the egotistical bs you see from other players .

As A FB at best... I'm on the MATT SCOTT pre-bandwagon for the Jags QB. GG is likely to be pressing for the same claim I believe.

To think that Marion Barber could of easily scuttled that with a. STAYING INBOUNDS and B. HOLDING the f***ball (not fumbling it!!)

but here's the song of all songs what defines Tebow the winner is all about..



theme from the Wonder Years.. go Winnie Cooper! :thumbsu:

Indeed, he did very well with 3/4 of a season as one. He has flaws, but so do a lot of "developmental" QBs out there, yet apparently he's un-fixable. :rolleyes:

He's also no worse a passer than half the back-ups in the league, yet he has the running ability (and the leadership) to somewhat compensate. Would at worst be useful as a 3rd-string QB and 2-pt conversion specialist (I'm guessing his percentage on those is a fair bit higher than average).

Would be disappointing to not see him get a chance somewhere, his major downside is the circus, which isn't even his fault.

If it weren't for the circus and Peyton getting his neck broke (blessing in disguise) he'd still be starting for the Broncos. He'd probably still be backup if it weren't for the circus.

I hope the Jags change their mind on Tebow. That Franchise is awful atm and are a who cares franchise atm. Atleast Tebow will give them some attention and get people to the games and is a better option then who they got. Worse case scenario he stinks it up and they get a top draft pick.

From Montreal official – who owns Tebow’s rights....
“If he wants to come to Canada he would be in the same situation as the one he was in with New York,” Popp said, via Dave Naylor of TSN.ca. “He can come here and compete to be the backup to Anthony Calvillo and learn the game, just like Jeff Garcia did [behind Doug Flutie]. And one day he might be the guy; that’s our vision. He can learn from the best.”


Wow, TT needs to ditch the QB dream and come down to reality like Denard Robinson did. He would not start in Canada! Arena league anyone?
 
Understand the Legends Football League (formerly known as the Lingerie Football League) has approached Tebow to be a QB Coach in the league.

Makes sense, you don't want the coach to have a better arm than the QBs he is tutoring.
