I am going to enter this under 2011's 10 most depressing features.

Sorry, Cam Newton is underpaid?

Well in College he was overpaid.

Lets throw Wes Welker a fund raiser.

I just don't see how these guys can survive.

Dumb list to the most part. Most of them are on their rookie contracts.

I agree.

It's also only based off salary, which is stupid.

That was lame. $22million Cam has guaranteed. WTF, why are they looking at base salary when he got a ton up front and a ton is guaranteed.

Rodgers I wouldn't say is underpaid, but he's a good deal at 7.5 million. Compared to Brady $18 million per year, Eli $16.25 million per year, and Peyton $14 million per year.

He's being compared to those guys and may have a similar resume soon if he gets an MVP this year. I'm sure the packers will be giving him a raise soon.

One day a week? Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they're not working.

I understand that, they train and do work very hard to play a game for a living. I still don't think athletes should be paid what they are paid.

[Uttephabeta]

Basically every major college player is underpaid.

[duawLauff]

when their weekly paycheck is more than most people make in a year, I have a hard time sympathizing with this list. Seriously, they "work" one day a week and get paid a s##t ton. Our priorities are f##ed up in this country.

So the rest of the week they are sitting on the beach or by the pool?

such a whiner.

Rodgers has same contract as tony romo

That just means that Romo is overpaid.

Very weird, subjective list. It's a joke that DeSean Jackson isn't on that list, while Rodgers already has $39 million in his pocket and Cam Newton is guaranteed $22 million after getting a $14 million signing bonus.

so it should stay with the owners?

it isnt going back to the fans, I can tell you that

Why is Welcker underpaid?

He catches a bunch of 6 yard passes and led the league in drops last year.

Tore up his knee the year before.

Were the Patriots suppossed to committ big money to a guy with a bum kneee?

Too many RBs on the list also.

Go ahead and throw big money at a very replaceable position and see where that gets you.

Dumb list.
