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]

In 2020, they just weren’t ready yet.
In 2021 he played as well as a QB could realistically be expected to in a loss. 13 seconds was a legendary collapse by his defense.
In 2023 he got his team into field goal range and also dropped a dime to Diggs on a deep ball that would have changed the game. Diggs just dropped it and the kicker missed.
2022 against the Bengals was the closest to choking I’d consider.
Is losing to a better team really choking? I don't think so. [Reply]

The rest of these guys get plenty of criticism.
Not Joe though. He gets a pass despite being surrounded by otherworldly receiver talent even back at LSU.
To me it’s the fact that people pretend that he came into Arrowhead and outdueled Mahomes and carried the Bengals to the Super Bowl.
In reality he did Jack shit that entire game and was in the process of getting obliterated like everyone else until Lou Anarumo made adjustments and the Chiefs inexplicably forgot how to play football.
He Mr. Magoo’d his way into a complete fluke win and now people act like he’s the Mahomes killer because of it. [Reply]

And that Chiefs defense wasn’t even good. The Bills shredded us the week before. Burrow was just kinda okay them. [Reply]

So was Peyton. But his defense helped carry him a couple times. Last years was LameArm’s best shot, cuz that defense was legit. But so was ours, and our quarterback has the killer instinct that LameArm lacks. [Reply]

Maybe a few years ago.
I think last few years OBJ underrated. Not that's he is great but he did help the Rams win a SB recently and isn't totally washed up yet.
Just think the perception is so low that he's actually the opposite now. [Reply]
