103 Tackles
2 Sacks
3 INTs
Sac was probably like "hell yeah, we got ourselves a kickass safety". "Look at those numbers!!!"

That's my point with Berry. Everyone looks at his numbers and assumes he kicked the shit out of things. However, the guy actually lost games for the team because of his atrocious pass defense. Mike Brown got destroyed on this board for doing the exact same thing, but because Berry is a Chiefs first rounder that the majority wanted, he can **** up all he wants and the apology squad will rush to defend him.
Same thing with Albert and Dorsey. Their production is, quite literally, horrible, but because no one wants to spend another first round pick to fix the hole at LT, he gets the kid glove treatment around here. Dorsey was supposed to be the best player in the draft, but somehow the Chiefs stole him at #5. In three years of starting he has four sacks total. Awesome, but some people think he's the lynchpin of the defense.
Then you got guys like Hali, who wasn't a flashy, sexy pick but people still want to draft a pass rusher over him. Wiegmann was our best offensive lineman last year, but he's the guy everyone is clamoring to replace, not the freaking tragedies at tackle.
However, seeing as the vast majority of people around here wanted Jimmy Clausen and Mark Sanchez, who are, along with Derek Anderson, two of the three worst performing quarterbacks statistically in the entire NFL, I'm not overly surprised on their analytical football observational acumen.
