(Unless I overlooked something I have not yet found the entire list. If someone beats me to it, I won't be broken-hearted.)

TO is still one of the best WRs to ever play in this league.

Yep. Love him or hate him, he is one of the best ever. If a receiver came into the league tomorrow with his physical build scouts would be in love. He's physically one of the best WR's to ever play.

He's a future HOF'r yet he's overrated??!?

Obviously he's not as good as he once was, but come on...

The guy is like what, 35 yrs old? And he's still a solid WR.

Evidently not according to the NFL players, who should know better than you and I.

Anyway I'm more interested in the entire list of their poll. Romo is #2.

My search skills are vastly overrated and I was unable to locate the entire list, Mr. Frankie, but I did find some more results ...

Coming in behind TO were ...

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (7%)
New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez (5%)
Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (5%)
New York Giants QB Eli Manning (4%)

Eh...some may have a bias against him.

But seeing as how he'll end his career top 3 in receiving yards and top 5 in touchdowns....I'm thinking he's not overrated at all.

And he's on pace for 1500 yards at 36 years old this year...

I don't see how he's overrated. Fans don't talk about him being a great player anymore, even though he's having a good season so far.

I am thinking maybe they mean TODAY's TO. But anyway I started this thread for the entire list (whichso far has eluded us) not just TO.

Shit...like I said, todays TO is on pace for 1500 yards... so I still don't see how he can be overrated.

If a 36 year old WR puts up a 1500 yard season, overrated is about the last thing he should be called.

The pace can and probably will slow down. If for nothing else, for his age.

Alot of Chiefs fans seem to have an unnatural hate for players with talent

If you think his "talent" is what is hated then you are confused.

I'm one of the few people who thought TO in his prime was more important to his team than Randy Moss. He's a guy who gave 100% effort on every route, could catch anywhere on the field, and he wasn't afraid to block.

But lately, the question has become whether his off-the-field antics are worth the production. To me, it's clearly not. He's thrown his Offensive Coordinators and QBs under the bus every single place he's been. And I'd have to imagine he's causing tension in Cincy's locker room too.

So let me ask you this... when one superstar is such a prima donna that he forces the Offensive Coordinator to scheme around you, forces your QB to target you, and generally makes the entire team play less as a team because he's such a locker room distraction, is the production worth all the hassle?

Like I said, the Bengals are a very talented team that sucks right now. I don't care about his production. The Bengals didn't make many offseason changes except add TO, and they are significantly worse than last year.

I think you have to be rated to be overrated.

Charles has to be one of the most under rated in the league imop. I live in Charlotte now and no one here has any idea who the hell he is.
