Peyton Manning, Brett Favre & Drew Brees - no comment, not a chance! 2. How could anyone even think about considering Bart Scott over HOF Ray Lewis!?!? Scott is a good LB because he plays on the same defense with Ray. Ray still has it and means so much to the team. I'd take Suggs over Scott. What has Scott done since '06? 3. It's good no one put Champ Bailey on the list! Teams have thrown his way just 10 times this season! Now he would be a good start to an "all-underrated" team. I wonder who would be chosen to the Top 10 on that squad? Now DeAngelo Hall on the other hand, great selection! Best choice by far! No need to look any further than the opener Monday Night against Denver and Eddie Royal! 4. I know Randy Moss and Terrell Owens are lots of talk, hype, distraction, and show, but they just cannot be overrated. They are HOF's just like Ray Lewis. Both Moss & Owens can single-handedly take over games with their playmaking abilities. 5. Chad Johnson, Jeremy Shockey, and Vince Young are all easy targets because of what they've done recently (this year). 6. Reggie Bush leads the NFL in total TD's with 8 - how's he overrated? Bush wasn't supposed to be the next every-down workhorse bruiser at RB, he was supposed to be an electrifying game-changer - and he is just that! 7. Romo is 50/50. So talented, such an improvisor, yet makes so many bad decisions at key moments/stages. 8. I cannot place Larry Johnson in this list. 9. Surprised Adrian Peterson's name didn't pop up with his fumbling, bumbling performance against Detroit. As of yet this season, he hasn't impressed me all that much like I thought he would. That can certainly change this week... 10. LaDainian Tomlinson would fit in just nicely on this list with his on-going injury problems. He is not a sure lock to be considered a Top 5 back of All-Time as he once was after his '06 MVP year. Imagine the lethal San Diego Chargers offense with a healthy '06 version of LT! Ten Thoughts, Views & Points:

1. Peyton Manning, Brett Favre & Drew Brees – no comment, not a chance!

2. How could anyone even think about considering Bart Scott over HOF Ray Lewis!?!? Scott is a good LB because he plays on the same defense with Ray. Ray still has it and means so much to the team. I’d take Suggs over Scott. What has Scott done since ‘06?

3. It’s good no one put Champ Bailey on the list! Teams have thrown his way just 10 times this season! Now he would be a good start to an “all-underrated” team. I wonder who would be chosen to the Top 10 on that squad?

Favre would tell you HIMSELF he's not as good as he used to be, but the question was "over-rated", and no one rates Favre as the #1 or #2 guy in the league. Drew Brees, on the other hand, is having a sensational year without his #1 target, and to blame a potential 8-8 record, which is VERY unlikely, on him is laughable. Almost as laughable as you including these 2 bozos as supposed quotable experts. Not even, dudes....not even.

I don't care how many commercials I see him in. He is talked about like the best QB that has ever lived. All his team has shown is that he's not the most essential piece to his team. Without Bob Sanders their team plays with no heart and is lucky to come out with wins. He's got great receivers, great offensive line, a defensive MVP, and possibly the best defensive end of our generation. All he is the face of a team that could probably produce the same without him Peyton Manning. I don’t care how many commercials I see him in. He is talked about like the best QB that has ever lived.
