So I came across this tweet and while I know PFF is garbage...it got me thinking about this topic and about George Kittle. What in the fuck do people see that makes them hold him in such high regard???
He's played 7 season...broke 1k 3 times with 2 of those seasons barely being over 1,000...one season over 10 TDs, 4 of those seasons with 5 or less TDs and 2 were 6 TD seasons.
Not to mention he's been a complete non factor in both Super Bowls he's been in.
He's not even in the same galaxy as Kelce...I really wish someone would tell me what I'm missing here. He has a bombastic personality and is a goofball and talks a lot? Wow ok.
Who would you all say is massively overrated in the league by fans, media, etc.? [Reply]
That's funny. I had a 49ers fan trying to argue that the most overrated player in the NFL is Patrick Mahomes and that he only has his rings because of ref help. I will have to tell him that the most overrated player in the NFL is a 49er. Although, I don't agree. The most overrated is Lamar Jackson by a mile. [Reply]
Kittle is a top-2 or -3 TE. I mean, you just have to watch his tape, and then ask yourself, "what other TEs could do what he does?" It's going to be a very short list. As for his production in the SB, it was pretty obvious that he was required to stay in and block a lot; that's more about Shanahan and his system than it is about Kittle.
As for who is the most overrated player, there's a lot of them. A lot of QBs, like Kyler, Jalen, Dak, Tua, the list goes on.

Him having 2 league MVPs is exactly why he is overrated. Good player but not the standout player in either year he won and the bigger the moment the smaller he plays. [Reply]
Too easy to just pick apart the flaws in almost every QB in the league not called Patrick Mahomes so I will throw Calvin Ridley into the mix.
I think Mark Andrews is good but maybe the form of Likely while he was out injured showed any mobile Tight End could thrive and put up good numbers in the Ravens offensive system as that is where Lamar Jackson is most comfortable throwing the ball. [Reply]
Injury prone. Never thrown 40 TDs in a season. Career high of 4600 yards.
Always had amazing weapons.
Has 1 great postseason win, thanks to his defense the Chiefs inexplicably going into zombie mode for the entire second half and STILL almost winning the game. He wasn’t even all that great against a defense that Josh Allen destroyed.
Idk how anyone can support any answer here besides Lamar Jackson. He’s the most overrated player by a long shot to me.
He’s not a top 5 QB and was only ever worthy of being one in 2019.
It’s annoying seeing this guy get called the best QB in the league by some analysts when he’s only thrown 30 or more TD’s once, has never thrown for 4K yards and falls apart every time in the playoffs. [Reply]
