Fowler had 16 sacks in his first 3 seasons, and Yannick had 29.5. Yannick, is by far, the most consistent pass rusher we’ve had since Brackens. Even including Fowler’s 2019 season, Yannick Was still more productive in 3 years than Fowler’s 4 years. 

As for Campbell, I love Campbell, but he hasn’t been as productive a pass-rusher this season than the previous 2.

So? Fowler missed his first season due to injury, he and Fowler have basically played the same number of games, but Yan has played a lot more football (he was the starter during Fowler's time here).  Yan was probably a bit better at that time, but Fowler is playing better right now and is better against the run and for all we know may end up with a better career.  

This isn't supposed to be about Yan vs Fowler though, the point was and is that Yan is replaceable. You guys talk about him like he's the second coming of Lawrence Taylor or something. He's pretty good, that's it.
