Personal bias most likely, but Kelce has been crushing it 4 years in a row. Consistency is key. Not really a good way to look at it with Kittle being so young. Look at the first 3 years of their careers. Kittle has had a better start to his career than Kelce did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) I’m going with the only TE of the big three with more receiving TDs than Taysom Hill this year. Edited December 20, 2019 by sammymvpknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvadorsDeli Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Kittle being such a great blocker in addition to his receiving ability is what puts him over the top to me. There was a noticeable difference in the Niners running game when Kittle got injured. I think Kittle might actually be one of the best 5 or 10 all-around football players in the league, he has a lot of responsibility in that offense and is great at everything he is asked to do. You get the feeling they could ask him to play linebacker and he'd be able to do it in a pinch. I think Kelce is basically the best possible version of what he's meant to be - the glorified big slot receiver - but like Gronk before him Kittle combines being really good at that with the more old school blocking responsibilities as well.

Single season record for catches in a season. Epitome of consistency as he has put together 5 straight years of 70+ catches and 800+ yards (never been done at TE position). 2nd fastest TE to 500 catches, beat out narrowly by the great Winslow. He's on the podium. He's just getting the bronze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittle is only in his third year and has the most receiving yards of any TE in the first three years of their careers with two games to go.

Their first three years actually playing are incredibly similar. Kittle with a few more yards per game and reception. Kelce with more catches, TDs, and a better catch rate.

Buckweath Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Question is who is the better player right now. I fail to see how comparing their first 3 years in their career is relevant when Kelce is now in his 7th season in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and if it wasn't for Wentz having to appease his cry baby wide receivers, Ertz would already be well over 1000 yards, and Philly would already be in the playoffs... But if it's between Kelce and Kittle, I'll take Kittle. I initially had my doubts if Kittle can be as physical as Kelce, but that has been put to bed... But all 3 are very much elite...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I think I need to clarify my Ertz post was tongue in cheek, I know he’s not on the same level as either of these guys. Still probably the 3rd best TE in the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
