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]
It's because somewhere a long the line we got a section of people who think a TE that can block and be a good receiver has more value than an elite receiving TE that isn't asked to block all that much.
It's usually older people who are married to what the TE was in 1984 and don't understand evolution of the game. [Reply]

Kelce had some huge blocks in the Superbowl. It is just funny that metric they decided was more important than being healthy and having your star diminished constantly from blocking most the game. [Reply]

Kittle is good, but Kelce can make a receiving corps. His ability to read defenses and find open space is just phenomenal. He'll probably be unusually effective late into his career like Tony G bc of this skill. [Reply]
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]

"But you're not accounting for his running ability. He's an elite runner, so he must be an elite QB." [Reply]
