Really??? I mean I may be one of the biggest Jared Allen fanboy's on the forum but if you look at the last 4 years there is no way that either Williams or Peppers is better then Allen. JPP had a great season last year and has tremendous upside but Really? Here is stat lines for the last 4 years. CT= combined Tackles, ST=Solo Tackles, SK=Sacks, PD= Passes Deflected, FF Forced Fumbles, INT=Interceptions and SFT=Saftey
Williams 135 CT, 114 ST, 34.5 SK, 6 PD, 8 FF, 0 INT, 0 SFT
Peppers 184 CT, 152 ST, 43.5 SK, 23 PD, 16 FF 4 INT 0 SFT
Allen 231 CT, 177 ST, 62 SK, 16 PD, 13 FF 4 INT 4 SFT
I have yet to figure out why people will not give Allen the respect he deserves. I know both Peppers and Williams are better as of athletes but really? I mean Jared Allen nearly broke the sack record with a team that had a horrid secondary and an anemic offense that allowed other teams to run all over them. The ONLY argument I can see is JPP could be better this upcoming year then Allen I hate to admit it being an Eagle's fan but He is going to be great.
