PFF: Kuechly among NFL's most overrated.

[B.BERSIN]

Just saw the title on ESPN, wtf?

This thread is gonna go places.

Well yeah PFF thinks Kuechly is an average middle linebacker and they want everyone to know it.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

Good one, PFF!

 

(Anyone from this moment forward that quotes PFF as any type of football authority outs themselves as a Kaepernick-level uber douche.)

Because he's not big and black and plays for the 49ers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But seriously. His athleticism is questioned all the time under the stigma he's white but his combine numbers are great.

[PantherWake]

Well the NFL sure doesn't think Kuechly is overrated.

[teeray]

The guy that other NFL offenses were forced to "spy" was overrated?

[OneBadCat]

He essentially made us a top 13 defense in one year. How the hell does this make sense?

[XClown1986]

The article also lists A.J. Green, Joe Haden, Patrick Peterson, and Drew Brees as being overrated. Overrated is a relative term anyway. Nothing to see here.

Oh Jesus.....

The article doesn't question his athleticism. It just points out that he wasn't the highest rated in any category for a defensive player and shouldn't have been DPOY because other players had better seasons.

Here is the thing about PFF. Even The Hoodie has said before that when watching film to game plan his opponents, when defensive breakdowns happen he often doesn't know whose fault it was because he doesn't know the defensive play call and defender responsibilities.

So while PFF is fun for fans, don't put too much stock in third party grading systems

I would argue that Keuchly has more ownership of that defense than those other guys do. Plus they always underrate Thomas Davis who's probably taking plays away from him.

I actually thought Davis played better than Kuechly last year. Just my opinion. Dude was all over the field and playing lights out.

 

Luke has merely scraped the surface of his talent. Davis is in his prime.
