Bearerofnews Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Kirk Cousins finished atop a recent poll conducted by The Athletic, but it’s not a good thing the Vikings quarterback got the most votes. In a survey of NFL defensive players that received 85 responses from players across 25 teams, Cousins was voted the most overrated quarterback in the NFL. Cousins, who signed a three-year, $84 million free agent deal with the Vikings last March, received 13 percent of the votes. The Giants’ Eli Manning got 10 percent, while Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, Tom Brady, Derek Carr, Andy Dalton, Dak Prescott, Jameis Winston, and Sam Bradford also received multiple votes. There were 63 votes cast, not including “no comments.” While Cousins was voted the most overrated, Carolina’s Cam Newton was voted the most underrated, getting 14 percent of the votes. Philip Rivers (11 percent) and Alex Smith (8 percent) were runners-up, while Russell Wilson, Mitchell Trubisky, Drew Brees and Lamar Jackson received multiple votes. There were 79 votes cast for most underrated, not including “no comments.” There also was a question about which backup quarterback should be a starter that got 53 responses. The Eagles’ Nick Foles, no surprise, got 32 percent of the votes. Former Viking Teddy Bridgewater, who spent this past season with New Orleans, was second with 17 percent.

So these should be taken about as seriously as the NFL top 100. Maybe they thought he was still on the Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they thought he was still on the Vikings. 95% (81 votes) of them think Kaepernick should be on an NFL roster with only 2 voting No. So yeah, this should be taken with a grain of salt. ----Most liked to face in the SB: Brady (18% - 72 votes) -- Peterman was 2nd with 15% of the votes too -- LMAO. Can't say I blame them either. ----Least liked to face in the SB: Brady (52% - 81 votes) -----Most impressive under 25: Mahomes (72% - 79 votes) But at least one of the defensive players surveyed wasn’t impressed by any of the quarterbacks from the 2018 draft, telling us: “All of them doing pretty bad, aren’t they? OK, next question.” --- This quote right here should tell you how serious to take this. -----Most impressive rookie: Mayfield (60% - 82 votes) -----Backup QB should start: Foles (32% - 53 votes -----Most dangerous on 3rd down: Rodgers (34% - 76 votes) Then there are others about the locker room.

If anyone didn't see this coming, I feel bad for you. It was a massive overpay, even if he played at his absolute peak as a player. I am so glad the Browns didn't dump their salary cap into this average NFL starter. Average at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF-N72EX Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 “Most quarterbacks are overrated. People think they’re great if they win even if there are a lot of other factors.” That's the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky_rams Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Is Cam Newton really underrated? Sure he’s physically a freak but I don’t see the consistency. I would argue Russell Wilson is more underrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I have my suspicions as to why Cam Newton was voted the "most underrated" but it wouldn't really be appropriate with forum rules for me to suggest that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Cousins didn't live up to his paychecks this year, but I suspect that a big part of the reason he was voted as #1 is because of how much he is being paid. He got the market value. That's just how things work in the league these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
