Quote:I disagree.  He is playing better then most pass rushers we have had since Kampman and he couldnt stay healthy.  Before that was Heywood but same.  So going back to when Brackens?

So because he looks better than the trash we've had he's an all-pro? Ngakoue has a lot of splash plays and he's pretty good at getting in the QB's face but he sucks against the run. Not an all-pro.

 

Quote:Are int's worthless too?

Did I say they were worthless? I said they weren't everything, just like INTs aren't. Marcus Peters gets a lot of INTs but he gets beat as much as he picks the ball off. Likewise, you can get a lot of sacks and not be consistently pressuring the QB. Olivier Vernon pressures the QB more consistently than Ngakoue does right now even though Ngakoue has more sacks. It's a lot of factors that go into getting sacks and they are not representative of how disruptive a player is. Fowler only had 8.5 sacks his last year at Florida but he was still one of the most disruptive players in the country. Vernon is a better player than Ngakoue right now plain and simple. Was he worth the money? Probably not, but either way it doesn't matter. We have what we have, no point in trying to go back and sing the praises of Caldwell and claim Vernon a bust especially when you're wrong in the first place.
