Jaylon Smith 3rd in tackles among all linebackers in NFL

Agents actually teach and promote padding stats.
Numbers are money.

You serious Clark?

No way Ellen.

Since it's apparently all about the stats and never trust your lying eyes..
Just want to give a shout out to the 3rd greatest RB of all-time, Frank Gore.

Congrats to the "Peg Leg Tackles Stat Pirate", Jaylon Smith.

At some point you have to have veteran players on your team, can't replace every player that isn't lighting up the league every year. Lee is not really effective anymore, LVE has had injury problems. The others haven't been able to push Smith or even Lee off the field, so how good are they? Then there's the money aspect.

Maybe Smith isn't Lee Roy Jordan or Chuck Howley or such, but somebody has to play the position...

I understand but I don't see any linebackers on this team playing much better if at all than Jaylon. Others have had their chances. He'd never get benched of course but its not like the guys around him are any better.

Guy is a trash player, it'll be good to see him gone.

So you could say he’s the best of the worst?

Awesome for you and Jaylon, I guess, but I’d prefer to replace the entire LB corp.

2018 seems like so long ago.

We say this....but he’s grading out as our best linebacker on the team...better than LVE and Sean Lee......

If Jaylon went about his business, without being demonstrative, they would still find fault. Some of the resentment for the players is deep seeded beyond the football field. Money, houses, influence, background, love life, etc.

Jaylon gets no love from these fans. But they are known for not appreciating players that contribute.

Why is it the only time certain fans say, get rid of them all; Is after Jaylon is berated, and LVE and Lee's contributions are brought into question?

As they say: there are lies, damn lies, then statistics. You need to figure out a healthier way to get attention. Need a hug ?

I’ve been saying that IMO, LVE is this close to being a first round bust (his rookie season aside).

He either brings it next year, or I say he is a bust, if it’s just gonna be more of the same.

Again, IMO, the entire LB corp is less than stellar.

He’s so good, we should trade him and get back a Rd 2 pick

but how far down field is he making those tackles. how many bad plays, missed plays has he had. I have seen him in many plays to be totally in the wrong place and ineffective or allow players run right by him...

You’re missing my point. It’s not “awesome”. What I’m saying is linebacker play all over the league is poor. Especially on this team. You can’t expect good linebacker play with bad defensive tackle play. It doesn’t work that way.

I know it is. Jealousy. I hate how much these guys make is public. I wish it was private that way people can just gauge a guy based on what he plays like.

If you have a big dropoff in one from Sean Lee, who could take his pick of any LB coach job he wants next year, and age 24 LVE and age 25 Jaylon Smith who are both two years out of a Pro Bowl - doesn't that point straight at the coaching staff?

Totally agree. If Jaylon was underpaid and camera shy all these posts would be "what have the coaches done to poor Jaylon".

It wouldn't be these posts that Jaylon should be cut and no other team would ever take him off waivers.

No way Ellen.

I’ve never heard that but I’m not the slightest bit surprised. Very interesting.

 

[Loso86]

Guess I'll never understand how making a freaking tackle is padding stats......oh well. Oh and once again we consistently bash our own players on here 90% of the time. Win or lose lol
