Here, let me help you with that.
Chris Jones, playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, has had the opportunity to play, to quote our friend jettio, "Tackle football as it is played at the NFL PLAYOFF level" 10 times.
2018. 2 games. 0 tackles.
0 sacks. 4 pass deflections.
2019. 2 games. 3 tackles.
0 sacks 3 pass deflections. 2 hurries.
2020. 3 games. 9 tackles.
0 sacks 3 hurries.
2021. 3 games. 6 tackles (2 for loss!!!!!!!)
0 sacks 2 hurries.
That's TEN playoff games with 18 tackles
0 sacks 7 hurries, and 7 pass deflections.
That's good for an average of
0 sacks 1.8 tackles, 0.7 batted balls, and 0.7 hurries per playoff game.
Is that good? Is that highest paid defender in the league production? Is it even the 60 million guaranteed he got production? I sure don't think so.
By comparison, through 10 regular season games this year he has 9 sacks.
Regular season heroes can be fun to watch. But you get paid the huge money for what you can do in the post season. It sure does look like the funds for his playoff performances have been grossly misallocated.
For a dude referring to himself as "Sack Nation" he sure doesn't live up to that when the lights are brightest.
We expect Mahomes to be superman in the post season. We expect Kelce to beast guys and score tds.
For some reason, Chris Jones gets a pass for absolute mediocrity in the playoffs.
Maybe this year is his year. Playoff game eleven and beyond, to finally bring down a qb in the post season.
