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

That is sugar coating it as Fowler didn't play his first year and also coming off a serious injury his 2nd season back should be held into account as well. Seeing that he is now playing in his natural spot we shall see going forward.

I’m only including his 2016-2018 seasons. We can assume his 2015 injury effected his 2016 play but that’s an assumption. How does that explain his 4 sacks from 2018? I can use injury as an excuse for Yannick this season, too. I’m talking strictly numbers, and Yannick is far more consistent.

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.

I’m talking about consistency. I’m not talking better then or now. I’m saying Yannick was, and is, more consistent. He’s consistently more available. He’s consistent more productive. I’m not sure who you’re saying is treating him like Lawrence Taylor, but that’s certainly isn’t me. You said he’s replaceable and good players aren’t easily replaceable.
