08:03 AM ET 11.10 | The midway point of the season is a nice time to extrapolate, take stock and, in this case, pass judgment. Sporting News' network of correspondents asked 111 players from 31 teams everything you want to know about what has happened -- and will happen -- in NFL 2011. As always in our midseason poll, players were not allowed to name their team, teammates or head coach for any of their answers. Who is the most overrated player? Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow-22. Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo-21. New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez-9. Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh-6. Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson-5. New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco-5. New England Patriots QB Tom Brady-3.

It's nice to see the jealousy factor still working in the NFL.

No particular order....MOST: holiest, strongest, cleanest, phycotic, prettiest...you match em up..

Tom Brady - over-rated?

Bull.

How can Tebow be overrated? Other than his "fans", who thinks he's good?

November 10, 2011  08:27 AM ET

This one's a no-brainer....Eli Manning....it WOULD be Sanchez except that no one but Jests fans rate him very high at all....

if everyone thinks Tebow sucks, how can he also be overrated?

November 10, 2011  08:35 AM ET

Tebow is bad man..... He's bad.

That was my take as well. How does a player write that name with a straight face?

Tebow's not over rated just over published. The dude takes a wizz and it make headlines.

I guess that would mean he super sucks.

3 players out of 111 have a grudge against Brady, not hard to imagine

Wait...they can write?

November 10, 2011  08:51 AM ET

I really hope that Romo is paying attention...and Jerry Jones too- it's time to make a splash and move up to get a franchise QB in the draft. If the Rams land in the top 5 with Barkley and Landry Jones up there....it is time for the Boys to move on.

November 10, 2011  08:53 AM ET

As far as Tebow- we all know he doesn't have it. I honestly feel bad for the guy, he really hasn't brought half of this on himself and yet it just keeps coming at him......give the kid a break, keep him out of the headlines for a couple of weeks, lets see what happens and then the Broncos can move on in the draft......again....

Has "The Picture" been retired?

They probably should have discarded the ballots filled out in crayon...

A few months back I got torn a new one for saying that Urlacher wasn't over-rated... And now this. Save for Tebow - ask any coach if they'd love to coach a team with Brady - Ocho - Johnson - Suh - and I'll throw in Urlacher - they'd DROOL at the opportunity.

Eli stuffed the ballot box.
