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]
Odell Beckham. He's not a bad player by any means but ever since he made that one handed catch that got him the Madden cover he has always been talked about as if he's the modern day Randy Moss. Dude hasn't been anything but a complimentary role player since leaving the Giants yet he he still gets headlines every off-season. [Reply]

Good point. Do you know who also threw alot of jump balls? Wilson in Seattle. It sure looks pretty but throwing the deep lob ball is such an overrated skill. [Reply]

It's one thing for a positional player to not show up, it's a whole another thing for the star QB not to. [Reply]

I don't think anybody actually thinks Dak is that good. [Reply]

He was getting a lot of attention up until the 2022 regular season. After underwhelming the last two seasons, it seems he’s fallen out of the public’s favor.
For now he’s all potential.

I think he’s really good but nowhere near elite. [Reply]

Burrow follows shortly after considering where some tried to place him on the QB list a year or two ago.
Talking heads have a bizarre infatuation with Lamar, but I don’t think that many real people are enamored with him anymore. I see “not bad for a running back” jokes all over the internet.
I went Burrow, because people act like he owns Mahomes in some meaningful way. I don’t see anyone criticizing Burrow and his slightly above average numbers despite an insane amount of talent around him. [Reply]
Lamar and it’s not even close. People have gone as far as saying he’s revolutionizing the QB position, even though he’s a carbon copy of Michael Vick. He has an army of pundits on ESPN and NFL network that will meet any legitimate criticisms of him with ridiculous accusations of racism. [Reply]

I don’t get how Dak is overrated. At least here in Dallas he’s not very well thought of. His stats last year were greatly due to playing a Charmin soft schedule. Those stats are greatly padded in blowout wins against the Giants. At one point I think the Cowgirls played games against the Giants, Carolina and the Jets. [Reply]

Thanks to that meltdown, Burrow is now seen as the Chiefs kryptonite.
He will never scare me as much as Allen. Allen is the only guy in the league who can go blow to blow with Mahomes when Pat is playing his A game.
Burrow needs Mahomes to play sub par to beat him.
Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes have lost 22 games each as starters.
Burrow has started 52 games. Mahomes has started 96.
