[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 810496, member: 10086"] Something difficult to argue with is that we improved markedly in 2014 with CM3 playing inside. I understand he’s not the sole reason our D dropped ranking and instantly bettered itself substantially, but he still was 100% a part of that successful equation. He can still be used in blitz packages but I personally don’t think he’s worth more than the 6-7M/annual range. I’d like to see him on a roughly 2yr/$12-14M range to give him the respect of finishing his career in GB. He may not be the player he once was, but he has proven that if he has a supporting cast around him? he can be far more effective than us trying to rely on him as some sort of mythological hero. If we recall, Him playing ILB allowed Perry and Peppers to play outside and got our best talent on the field in 2014 games 9-18. Our D ranking became extremely good and we showed that during the first half shutout of Russell Wilson n Co during the NFC Chamoionship game. He 100% should’ve been wearing a second SB ring in what turned out to be an absolute 3-phase team meltdown. The trick to CM3 is to pair him with 1-2 more pass rushers who are formidable and create pocket confusion and warrant extra attention. Clay is still a good occasional splash player and a pretty decent clean up technician IMO As far as all this talk about Blake Martinez being an underperformer? That’s just preposterous and wholly unsubstantiative. Blake Martinez was a 4th round pick who currently is the #2 leading tackler in the entire NFL and tied for 3rd place in sacks among the ILB group IN THE LEAGUE. You don’t become the runner up to Darius Leonard by accident! The only “under” paired with his name is under paid and under appreciated!!. We need to clone that kid! [/QUOTE]
