PFF: Kuechly among NFL's most overrated.

[Gin and Juice]

A smart person could have an argument against that. Any smart person around here?

Relax, I said those things with a jestful intent

[BigBoss]

He is just okay against the big time tight ends in passing game, I would call that a weakness of his.

 

 

Outside of that, he's outstanding in every other area and there is a lot of other areas. Hes much much more than just some pretty good but not great MLB as he's being made out to be by PFFF.

Malarkey

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

 

Didn't know that. Good insight. I'll have to remember that for future PFF references.

Computerized grading system orrrrrrrr humans that watch these guys play every sunday. I'll take the side of humans. 

 

what is everyone referring to?  Profootballfocus?  they watch every game, every down, every snap lol it's not just some super computer making up statistics. 

 

 

And we're all bias here, even if Luke was legitimately overrated, no one who's a pantehr fan could fairly judge him like an outside source, etc. 

 

 

And thinking back on the Patriots game, Luke did have a PI that could have potentially cost us the game.

You guys also need to understand that the media loves voicing controversial subjects without any actual points....it's how they keep buzz going in the offseason, and how they market themselves, loook at this thread, 8 pages on something that's just an opinion lol also a good bit of website and name dropping on each page.  It's all marketing.

[Gin and Juice]

Who cares what PFF says, as long as Luke helps this team just win, then the guys that just watch like we do can stick it up their collective anuses

[CatMan72]

PFF sells out for page hits just like everyone else.

As far as breaking racial barriers, we did just draft a white RB....

Gaffney is white?

[Mojo]

Poppycock

[KaseKlosed]

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.

 

They praised Urlacher, and Dan Morgan in their days.  Watching Luke he is all over the place and tends to have holes in his game also.  We love him because hes our guy but he tends to be a liability in coverage lets just be real. 

[TheRed]

I wonder how many extra clicks we've given pff after all this outrage.

[Pox 08]

Interceptions are not a great gauge on overall coverage ability.  He's smart and knows how to be in the right place, but we've seen how he struggles when running with a TE 1 v 1.  His strength is being a beast against the run. 

 

What LBers have effectively shut down Graham, Tony G and Gronk?  Course his coverage is going to be somewhat lacking against those guys...and those guys are three that made the biggest splash against him.

[Razeyfingers]

PFF is more informative analytically than many but its still assessed by humans who, in turn, make errors. Then again they are often right more than many imo.

 

Regardless, Luke strikes me as the kind of guy that will be motivated by cries of him being overrated.
