Default Gronk rated #10 overall by Pro Football Weekly

Here is Pro Football Weekly's super 50. However I can get the top 10 with Brady ranked #3 but Gronk ranked #10.

ProFootballWeekly.com - Pro Football Weekly's Super 50

6 of the top 10 are QB's.

I agree with that but half that list is a freaking joke. If we talking about a popularity contest, maybe.

Cam Newton being on there while Joe Flaco and Alex Smith not making the list is a joke. Brees above Tom is very crappy too. Even Tebow deserves it more. I guess everyone's obsession with yards and his record makes it ok, but to anyone with a little bit of knowledge you could see his loss in the playoffs coming a mile away because of his inefficiency.

I guess if we grade players on effort rather than overall contribution towards actually winning, sure. But if we take into consideration winning, Cam Newton's td-to-interception efficiency was damn near bottom of the league. Can't have a winning record with someone playing like that.

For rookies, he belongs, but no way in hell for football players. Put Steve Smith on the list instead. He's the main reason why Newton looked the way he did and gets no credit for it. Nothing made me cringe my teeth more than hearing how Newton was making Smith look good.

Wouldn't have had a problem with Brees as #1. Dude played better than Brady this regular season

No he didn't. Drew Brees had more weapons than any freaking quarterback I have ever seen play the game. If he was anywhere near remotely as efficient as Brady or Rodgers, Saints would have absolutely tore through the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

That team is loaded on offense. It's unreal. He's had better years in the past actually. Just not this many weapons.

I'm sorry, Tebow better than Brees?

Apparently they weren't too torn to return Sunday. Can't see how this can't be taped and treated given the actual fact he could play on it.

Not than Brees. Better than Newton and Stafford. He was much more valuable to his team, took a 1-4 team into the playoffs, and won a playoff game against a good team.

Just based off of real accomplishment alone, Tebow should be ahead of those guys. And he was a more efficient passer than both of them. Not to mention if you consider passing yards in the air important, then yeah he belongs. He ended up the #1 in air yards efficiency. Nobody completed more passes by air at a better yards average % than Tebow.

But nobody wants to talk about it because it's Tebow. And he did it with one of the worst receiving squads in the league. Not like Newton and a Triple Crown winning receiver like Steve Smith or Megatron and Stafford.

People are going to be very surprised by Tebow come next year. His transformation will be "miraculous"...or so they will say. They'll talk about how much "he improved".
