Discussions about players being over/under-rated get right on my tits. They rely on an accurate view of both public perception & player ability, which nobody has. Devolves into arguing about public perception 90% of the time which is of no use or interest to anyone. WHY THO

Depends on the medium you're referring to. I think it's a useful narrative tool for journalists, experts and analysts to address what they see as a public consensus, however loose, to frame discussion about those players.

That it's impossible to know doesn't mean there is no value in having the discussion. It's more significant to know why someone thinks a player is under-rated than that he thinks the public thinks they are under-rated. It's a vehicle to get somewhere.

In short: if the argument is about the finger, then yes it is fairly tedious and pointless. If it's about the moon the finger is pointing to then there is clear value to be gained from having said discussion.

My issue with the format is that it's popular on reddit more than any other vehicle and inevitably devolves into arguments about what public perception of a player is. Talking about MVPs, best players, upcoming talents etc would all generate more interesting discussion from fans
