I wouldn't say so. He was beaten solidly by Webber and then beat Nakajima and Wurz, who were both very much sub-par.
Teaming with the likes of Nakajima and Wurz was the reason, why he was often underappreciated, because it was said that the main reason Nico is trashing them is because those guys suck, not that Rosberg is any good.

I saw Rosberg being very good, quick and consistent already in 2007, which was a much better season than he had endured in 2006. I'd say he was one of the best drivers of that particular season. His rookie season largely went to bust for whatever reason, but he has managed to improve on that significantly.

Sometimes it has seemed that the shadow of his rookie year has been one of the reasons, which has stopped people taking him seriously. As we remember, Massa wasn't taken seriously for a long time either thanks to a troubled beginning of his F1 career. But what is often not taken into account, is that people are capable of improving.
