[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 912510, member: 12283"] Define regularly. Are you carefully watching him each week? I watch him play the Packers twice and probably see him a couple more times beyond that. He's still a very good player, but he is definitely not a top 2 edge rusher. I can think of several names who have definitely been better than him for two years now-- both Bosa bros, Myles Garrett, Chandler Jones, Cam Jordan, Danielle Hunter, T.J. Watt all come to mind. Mack is towards the bottom of the top ten. Za'Darius and Mack are different players. If one wanted to say they're comparable because Smith does so much damage as a reduced rusher, I could understand that. Though part of the reason he does so much damage there is because he's so uniquely good at it. If Mack could pick up 7 sacks a year inside, presumably the Bears would do that with him. But at a certain point, you have to give a nod to Z's superior production. 26 sacks and 33 QB hits in two seasons vs. 17.5 sacks and 10 QB hits for Mack. It's a really tough sell to argue that Mack is head and shoulders a better player with such a stark contrast in objective production. [/QUOTE]
