Feel the rush...
That's what I think at least I'm man enough to put it instead of just running mouth and S'ing on peoples post. I think Terrel is overated as of now, I think Eli Manning is good but he's put in the mix with Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and his brother and I don't think he is at that level, Jason Campbell is better then people give him credit for he's not great but not ****e either same with Thigpen.
overrated
.chad ocho cinco=shut down by revis when it counted and his numbers are not h.o.f fame like he believes they are
.reggie bush=can not run between
the tackle he has a superbowl ring but two other rb's had to help him.charles will show him how a real quick pace back does it
.shawn merriman=he is as hollywood as they come he had one awesome season since then mediociracy
mark sanchez everyone thinks he is the golden boy but in reality he rode a great defenses back to the afc championship
underated
.jamaal charles=he will not be underated after this yearhe is a beast chris johnson like back
stephen jackson=all he does is produce unfortanantly he plays for a crappy team and gets the injury bug now and then
jerome harrison=as good as porter but never got as much recognition
joe flacco=gonna be a stud qb for years to come
I'll mention the first two that came to thought when reading your question. Most under-rated would be Trent Green...as well as Otis Taylor. Most over-rated would be Peyton Manning. I'm not necessarily basing those opinions on stats alone, but Greens positive stats were definitely ignored during his peak seasons. He rated higher in stats than Peyton Manning in both 2003 & 2005 if memory is correct. However, Manning was the media golden boy even back then.
PS: I do realize other than Manning, Green & Taylor are past NFL stars, but they're who come to mind first as being under-rated. :)

Overated
by themselfs T.o ochocinco They rate therselfs way to highly
Tony Romo
By the media call me crazy but Peyton manning hes a great hall of fame Qb but sometimes the media gives him far to much credit.
underrated
Thomas Jones I thought this before he was a chief he quitely gets the job done.
That's why I think of Peyton when I think of being over-rated...it's as if there is no other QB in the NFL but Peyton, hell...I don't think even Montana was put on the pedestal Manning has been put on.
Manning is good, but he throws alot of interceptions too, and he also allows his frustration with teammates & others to affect his game at times. He strikes me as being a big spoiled rotten baby when he displays frustration with teammates on the field. He's intentionally showing frustration to let those watching know...it wasn't my fault, it was my teammates fault I threw that interception, or overthrew the ball, whatever.
