M(G)P, it isn't exactly like Sue is without experience, especially since her team is the oldest and most experienced team in comics facing much deadlier and more dangerous foes than the ones that Cap fought before his trip through time in the ice. Cap has so much respect because he was the first real super hero in the marvel universe even though Sub-Mariner, The (Original) Human Torch, and The Angel (even though he was without powers) were all in business before him. Cap is a great strategic thinker but so are Cyclops, Magneto, Iron Man, Reed Richards, Namor and many others. Cap's greatest asset is that people overestimate him because in a real match up against someone with powers like Cyke, Magneto, or Sue with no distractions or interruptions Cap would lose. His shield isn't really a match for Sue's anyway.
