[QUOTE=mrcoops;4503100]Cam Newton? Over-rated? [I]Cam Newton[/I]?!?

As a rookie, he passed for over 4000 yards and 21 TDs, and added over 700 yards and 14 TDs on the ground. QB rating was a very respectable 84.5.

As a [B]rookie[/B].

Guy just had the most impressive rookie season of any QB in history. And somehow this makes him over-rated. :huh:[/QUOTE]

I agree with you. But the list is intending weigh 2011 accolades vs 2011 performance. I would love to have some of those guys in the Jets - definitely. Gresham and Gonzales made the ProBowl, but they weren't even the best TEs. Brick also made the ProBowl, but even he admits he had a down year. And last year Nnamdi got torched a few times (and he was supposedly on the same level as Revis in 2010)
