CK isn't overrated, he just has a meltdown or two in close games. Look at the GB playoff game. The Packers have NO defense, yet the score tied in the 4th quarter CK's first pass is a pick 6 that Mikah Hyde drops.
In Seattle he played fair with a lead, but the minute the Seahawks threatened in the 4th he throws a pick and suffers a strip sack. They were lucky the Hawks only got 3 points out of those two TOs in Niner territory. Game on the line, he throws a low trajectory ball to his first option on Sherman's side of the field. Why is his first option that side of the field again? A play that has failed multiple times and one that I have never seen him convert.
CK is explosive and gifted. Rocket arm, but he has issues upstairs. He rips Sherman for responding to earlier Crabtree comments/issues about mocking him, but the week prior he is mocking Cam Newton.
In week 2 the Hawks destroy the Niners. As the clock nears 90 seconds he is running off the field pouting, in week 13 the Niners win by 2 in SF and he is celebrating like he won the Super Bowl even though he had a pretty bad game. Great winner, poor loser. I actually think he is likely worth the money, but there is a chance that he doesn't improve and continues to have those limitations.
Dude is a lightning bolt for a QB though.
I'm not gonna get at him for not shaking hands with Seahawks players...that's one of the few legit rivalries in sports. Plus as a Pats fan, I'd be hypocritical to callout another player for that. Brady and esp BB are just as bad.
CK and Newton are actually good friends outside the field. That was nothing more then busting balls.
I love him as a player. He's never gonna be a pocket passer like Brady , but with that speed he doesn't need too. League going in that direction with that type of QB. And outside the field, he doesn't bother me at all
