I won't discount what YPOV said about BJ's skills, nobody's doubting them, my biggest gripe with Penn is that his fans act like he's done anything significant in the last few years, which he hasn't. Ever since beating Hughes his in-ring performances haven't lived up to the hype put into them.
Which isn't to say the fights with GSP and Hughes the second time around weren't good, they were. I just see BJ in the same boat as a guy like Lindland where their current resume isn't befitting of such massive levels of fandom.
