I agree completely. Didn't mean to imply Matthews is an exception, just that people get carried away with the numbers sometimes without understanding what they really represent. I'm not a huge fan of sacks anyways, but it's hard to find pressure stats anywhere without paying. And I'm cheap
It's just weird that many of the people who ripped apart Tully's 10-sack season are the same people who love Clay Matthews for doing the same. Or how Jacoby Ford is seen as a versatile contributor while Brandon Tate is seen as a JAG who could be replaced by an UDFA for almost identical production.
Yeah. Opportunities for perspective are as plentiful as the dandelions in my "lawn" right now, and yet the exercise of perspective is about as rare as a hummingbird in Maine in January.
