In fact, in the DECADE BEFORE Ngakoue got here, only ONE (1) player matched the ten sacks Ngakoue produced last year:  Bobby McCray in 2006.  There were seasons (note the plural) during that time where NO Jaguars player got more than 4 sacks.

Give me an egomaniac who can rush the passer and create turnovers over a humble guy who can't.  

Edge:  Ngakoue.

All you're doing is looking at a sack number.  Yawn is the worst player in the league at his position against the run and why he gets passed around.  Teams bring him in and realize the few extra sacks isn't worth it when he's the worst in the league at his position at stopping the run and a huge liability in that aspect.  He's a pass rush specialist but you don't pay 20 mil a year to a player that's a huge liability
