Cam Newton was last season’s NFL MVP after guiding his team to a 15-1 regular season record and a berth in the Super Bowl to represent the NFC. Still, some people found it laughable that “SuperCam” was listed in the No. 1 spot on the NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2016 list.

Here’s how some Twitterers reacted after the news:

They really ranked Cam Newton number 1 in nfl 😂

Now, as you’d expect, New England Patriots fans weren’t too happy to hear Newton beat out Golden Boy Tom Brady—who finished No. 2 in the rankings—collectively having a mini Twitter rant of their own.

If Tom Brady isn't no. 1 in the top 100, then that's proof the nfl is rigged against him

— babelito (@GabeSuperfly) July 7, 2016

How cam newton is number 1 and tom Brady is 2 on the NFL Top 100 I'll never know

— Isaiah Wilhite (@isaiah_wilhite) July 7, 2016

Tom Brady wins Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP, next year is ranked 3 on Top 100, Cam Newton wins MVP and loses Super Bowl and is ranked 1 🤔

— OG Brady Johnson (@BradyBigJohnson) July 7, 2016

Brady turns no name players into SB champs all the time Cam had a good year but spent his SB on his back. Brady #1 broncos fan #NFLTop100

— James Benavidez (@Judah1er) July 7, 2016

Maybe all of this Cam Newton hate comes from a certain play in the Super Bowl everyone just happens to remember pretty vividly.

: Giphy

Yeah, that might just be it.
