P.S. Kevin Kolb also is far too high at 84.

Alex Smith only played like half the year because they were switching QB's every game .. Alex Smith cannot run an offense, or play QB .. FACT ..

FACT: My point is not about Smith, who I noted was fairly rated, but about these other QB's who are at least 10 points too high except perhaps Bradford who is about five points too high.

And that's something I'd agree with. While all of those quarterbacks are notably better than Smith to my eye, the actual results say otherwise. There is far to much overrating based on perception then actual results.

I see your point .. but Bradford is still better in everything .. so being rated higher shouldn't be a surprise ..

Now I've noticed all OVR have gone back up to the inflated side of things .. a lot of really high rated guys .. but it's all subjective because you can change it ..

In reality Alex Smith is like a 60 .. with AWR of 20 ..

For the Rams...
Underrated:
Roger Saffold (should be around 86 overall)
Josh Brown (around 88 overall)
Fred Robbins (around 85 overall)

Overrated:
Chris Long (around 87 overall)

I'm a huge Falcons fan and Harvey Dahl shouldn't be 90+. The guy is a nasty player (in a good way) but that is his best trait. He is still a great guard but will probably be around an 85.

Big jumps for Marshawn Lynch and Mike Williams, Seahawks gonna be fun to play with actual skill position players this year.

-Two big possession/spectacular catching WR's in Sidney Rice and Mike Williams
-Two speed little guys in Deon Butler and Golden Tate taking the slots
-Two pass catching TE's in Zach Miller and John Carlson
-Good depth at RB

Just need a QB, we'll get that in my franchise
