Quote: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.

 

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.

Fowler is a rookie and looking better then Vernon.  Same with Yannick.  You don't pay a guy huge money as a pass rusher  to be a run stuffer.  The guy who's friend is a die hard giants fan and watches every game even said vernon is okay.  I love those who look at ff stat line.  And act like they know something. How do you not see an issue if both fowler and yannick both rookies have more sacks then one of the highest paid Pass rushers who in 4 games has one sack and zero ints and 12 tackles. 

 

If he was here right now fans be crying over his lack of production.  But because plays for the giants is so great?  How bout no. Still stinks. Is not playing like is being paid to play. And in jax people be calling for his head.  And not like he is the main pass rusher cause jpp is there as well.
