    I think everything written here is subjective at best.
    Statistically it’s almost impossible to prove a players impact at a position like Simmons.
    “Hearing his name” is not a good way to judge impact. Generally speaking, the times you hear a name, it’s putting something in the statistics category.
    As mentioned, drawing a double team is not statistically quantified. Drawing that attention allowing for another guy to get mentioned.

    I saw you mention Autry before and I agree he is also a stud. Having Simmons, Autry, and Tart means one of the best DL in the league. Super important when you need that to beat these top QBs like Mahomes. The pass rusher with those guys may be an issue still pending Landry’s return and I agree, probably overpaid for what he offers. More likely a product of Simmons/Autry than a top pass rusher.

    I also mentioned the drop when Simmons was out and it was minimal. There seemed to be a much bigger drop when Autry was out and he’s 1/3rd of the price.

    LOL wrong ... & you are confusing paying Julio Jones with paying Simmons... it is Jones (and other DEAD CAP signings) & OL malfeasance that resulted in daly being LT NOT paying an actual generational player on D

    He’s not a generational player in Vrabel’s defense. I know that’s hard for you to understand. You don’t pay a d-lineman in a 3-4, 25 million+ a year. The cap doesn’t allow it unless you want to sacrifice talent at more important positions.

    What positions are more important is highly debated too.
    Some love throwing money at WR. OL and DL is where the money is made.

    DL is not as important in a 3-4. They just eat up blocks to free up the linebackers. Much more important in a 4-3.

    If I recall, baltimore 2012 had a 3-4 with some serious players on it.

    the defensive scheme with a 3-4 certainly matters. TN seemed very content not disguising any blitzes or anything with a 4th rusher.

    But on the flip side..... you complain when we don't retain our draft picks. You can't finally have a draft pick worth keeping, but ***** we let him go.
