    I generaly agree here, although since you focus on Jet fans I do think too many rate Smith too highly. But that is not true nationally, around the league, so...

    I would pick Harris as the most overrated. He did show improvement in 13 from 12, and last off season I think if one excluded the Sanchez Fans the odds on favorite for most overrated would have been Harris. But despite that improvement I think the label still fits Harris. He's got a big contract, is viewed as the best linebacker (I think by default), and all that. But imo he's slow and makes too few big plays to match up to his image.

    Mangold's not the player he once was to be sure, but he's played on a line with too much turnover and weak players on it, while trying to hold it together. If he went down the effect on the team would be probably the worst of any player on the team, with Ferguson a close second. Some might say that only points out the weak OL bench, which is partly true. But it is a factor.

    And the team could've afforded to re-sign him but decided to move on.
