Can we stop with this overrated/underrated nonsense?

[ESH]

The only time I ever see people saying a player/team/whatever is overrated or underrated is when they provide no context or explanation to support their claim. It's a useless statement. Everyone has their own opinions on players and saying someone is overrated adds nothing to the discussion.

Not gonna lie, this made me laugh

I think there needs to be an HF plebiscite to ban the use of the terms "underrated, overrated and generational".

I'm sure we can think of a few more words.

And what does it even mean? Player A is underrated on HFboards message boards that you have read? Player A doesn't get mentioned enough in threads you read? I agree, it's very lame.

I agree with everything you've said but I would like to add one point.....everyone on the Jets is underrated.

I disagree, it's overrated. Like Jonathan Toews

Telling people how to post is underrated.

This board lives in hyperboles.

If player X has a good week, you’ll se multiple threads, player X is underrrated, multiple player X vs insert any better player, and the funny thing is most people will vote for player X and agree, people on here have very short memories.

Yes, please, tell us how to or not to post using certain terms...

SMH.

Sometimes it's perfectly applicable. Like for instance when people were saying Clayton Keller was potentially going to top Matthews' rookie year. How many people are willing to stick with that opinion? It's blatantly obvious that Keller is not even in the same stratosphere as Matthews.

Damn commies these days.

I agree with the first post and the second one was the best response I could think of. Thanks, I needed a laugh.
