re: Cam Newton voted most underrated NFL QB by 85 defensive players

So why were Alex Smith and Phillip Rivers the next two on the "underrated" list? Trubisky and Brees were on there as well And why were Dak and Jameis on the list of most overrated?

See, this is why I laughed at the article and OP.

85 players polled, right?

"Eli Manning was the runner-up as the most overrated signal-caller, although Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, Tom Brady, Derek Carr, Andy Dalton, Dak Prescott, Jameis Winston and Sam Bradford all received multiple votes."

That's 11 players receiving at least 2 votes each.
Real definitive data there
