I know most of you would love a safety but we need pass rush.

Hali has 26. Allen has 19. Sacks-be-damned, Hali is pressuring the QB more than Allen is.

Would you want to be paying Hali $70M for what he is doing this year?



Dont you hate it when you try to be clever and it blows up on you in an ironic fashion?

Cleveland and St. Louis are just outside the top 10. Allen was shut out against them too.

Its obvious that no one has paid attention to this. People can laugh it away all they want, but the numbers dont lie.



How often does the top two games of production of a good DE come against the same team? And how often are the rest of his games as average as Allens have been?



The point of my post was not that Hali is doing well. Its how disturbingly close to his sack numbers Allen would be without the Packers games padding his stats. But Hali only had 1.5 sacks against the Raiders and Redskins combined. His others were against NYG and Baltimore.

Incidentally, though, Hali has 26 QB pressures on the season. Allen has 19.

Stats are nice, but they never tell the whole story.

If what you are trying to say is that Jared Allen is over rated and isnt worth every penny of his contract, YOU ARE BAT SHIT CRAZY!

If the Vikings could choose to trade back and get the first and two thirds back, they would keep Jared and give him that contract 100% of the time.

If you think Hali is in the same universe as Jared because of stats, YOU ARE BAT SHIT CRAZY!

Jared has more sacks than anyone since 2004 and if he stays healthy and continues to get better he could challenge the all time sack mark.

THAT

GOOD!

If all we are going off of is stats, Thigpen was just as good as Rothlisberger, Flacco and Ryan were in their first year as starter.

HE

ISN'T!
