[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 842459"] Conversely, all this fall back to college stats while ignoring developmental potential, of which we've have a brief glimpse, can be confirmation bias from parties who didn't like the player before the draft or that draft pick. I would suggest that rather than focusing on water that has already flowed under the bridge and out of sight you look toward the water that is flowing toward you. As for "stats", there is a preoccupation with sacks. They do tend to correlate to overall pressure counts but not always. If all you look at is sacks, then there would not have been three guys acquired at considerable cap and draft capital to play in front of 10-sack Kyler Fackrell. He didn't do much on the other pass rushes and some of those sacks were cheap. Hurries are good. Hits are even better. Watch for those. Mostly bad things happen on QB hits, including picks. A relevant question before the court would be who are you going to give 50+ snaps if one of the Smiths is injured, which is likely to happen for one game or another, assuming the object is to win the game that week? What if that is in week 3? Fackrell or Gary? Even on limited money game evidence I'd go with Gary. That's saying something for one game rookie edge player, many of whom taken in the first round are limited in their snaps and numbers in their first season. If it turns out Gary is a disappointment relative to his draft status then I'll be willing to say so as anybody should. How about waiting for the evidence first? And that evidence won't be sufficient until we get well into next season. [/QUOTE]
