Milloy overrated?

[Dolfan984]

I know I know, before you get on me, let me say that I think the world of Milloy, and he's always been one of my favorite players, but look at these stats before anything is said.

Lawyer Milloy
6-0" 210lbs Age:29
Years:8
Tackles:761
Sacks:7
Forced Fumbles:8
INTs:19
Yards:123
TDs:5
Long:30
TDs:1
Pass Deflects:52

Sammy Knight
6-0" 215lbs Age 27..
Career Numbers:
Years:7
Tackles:566
Sacks:5
F Fumbles:5
INTs:28
Yards:464
Long:91
TDs:4
Pass Deflects:55

Pretty close, especially when you consider Knight costs 1 mil a year when Milloy is going to get at least 3-4 mil. Also....

These are the stats from the past three years,

Milloy - 4 INTs, 23 yds, 0 TDs, 4 FFs, 16 PD, 3 sacks

Knight - 16 INTs, 218 yds, 2 TDs, 5 FFs, 28 PD, 5 sacks

The look at the stats last season...

Milloy had no turnovers at all, no forced fumbles, no anything, and had less than 100 tackles. Maybe that's why the Pats released him.

Just some interesting info I thought I'd share. :)

Stats don't mean squat. You wanna talk overrated. Seau.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Well Knight is a good player also. Milloy is a very good player in my book who is a leader and knows how to win. I would be happy if we get him.

[Dolfan984]

Seau definately isn't what he used to be, but he will make some damn good plays for us. He is going to help our pass rush, and our run defense. He is not going to play on passing packages, (Unless he's rushing the passer most likely) but he will definately be an upgrade over Derrick Rodgers.

Oh, and I really don't want you to get Milloy, I still think he's damn good. Overrated by some though, and he had a real down year last year.

[Dolfan984]

Stats don't mean squat except, but the difference in INTs does matter.

Nobody here cares about Sammy Knight!

[ryven]

Dolfan I think you mean seau is going to help your pass walk.

[helmetguy]

Knight can be HAD. That's why the opportunities are there. Malloy's reputation makes QBs and OC's look elsewhere for a weakness to exploit.

[Ebenezer]

He's overrated because the 'Fins can't afford him...isn't that what you are trying to say??

[RedEyE]

I could care less how overrated he is. Milloy tops our current choices at Safety and is the final key to another Bills AFC Championship. Bring him in.

Don't let Wys hear you say that.

I'll take a down year with 91 tackles any day from a DB.

[Dolfan984]

He's averaged around 90 tackles a year his whole carrer. It's the other things, no INTs, no FFs, no sacks that mean he had a down year.

Oh and ryven, you don't think our pass rush is as good as yours? Sorry, at least I try to stay at least a little unbiased.
