Thomas > Urlacher

[CChambers7284]

The proof is in the pudding (or iguess the stats haha)

Zach 105 tackles, 3 sacks and 1 INT
Brian Urlacher 87tackles, 0 sacks and 2 INTs.

Why does nobody mention Zach. I dont get it. What is with the Urlacher JO fest in the league.

Well stats dont always show everything, I mean Welker has better stats than chambers right now but does that nessesarlly mean he's better?

Welker is better than Chambers.

Its not really a fair comparison. Urlacher is younger than Thomas.

Welker is better than Chambers.

Another horrible comparison.

...You mean Urlacher is younger than Thomas.

 

[Benched]

...You mean Urlacher is younger than Thomas.

Yes. I was just about to edit it, too. There, fixed.

Either way, though, comparing players that are not the same age by any stretch of the imagination is not fair. Urlacher's 6 seasons to Thomas' 11. See what I mean?

Welker is better than Chambers.

:sidelol: I was about to post the same thing!

Welker is the best reciever on the team although Booker made a strong case for himself yesterday and Chris Chambers is just non existant.

 

[Brown42000]

Because eveybody is so used to Zach Tomas doing this year in and year out.

 

[Rytackle22]

ok bad example, well just because Larry Jonson has better stats that Ladanian does that mean Larry is better?

It can be. When a 33 year old guy is playing as well if not better than someone who is 7 years younger then him it should say something.

I honestly thing Zach doesn't get much credit for the last few years is cause we haven't dont crap in about 5.

 

[JERSEYFINFAN23]

welker catches more passes thrown his way, also welker takes more hits while catching the ball.

 

[ROCHESTERPHISH]

Urlacher Is The Media Darling!!
Plain And Simple.
Zack Is A Better Lb V.s. The Run All Day.
But Against The Pass He Gets Beat Quite A Bit.
When Ray Lewis Was In His Prime Ray Lewis Was The Media Darling, Now Its Urlachers Turn, Zt Doesnt Get A Turn Because Now He "too Old"
I Think He Will Play At Least 3 More Years

Welker is better than Chambers.

Wait till Wes makes a pro-bowl to pronounce hes better than Chambers...remember its because CC is such a threat that Wes is even open!

:confused: What age have to do wiht anything? ZT is kicking Url a** in stats. If stat don't mean anything, why having theme in the first play?:confused:

Different type of players.

For example look at Donnie Edwards...look at his total number of tackles every year - they're always top 2-3 and lead the entire league a couple of years ago---but yet has never been to a Pro - Bowl.

Why?

Because his tackles are the "clean up" tackles made 2-4 yards after the LOS. By no means am I discrediting him but if we're going based on stats - Donnie and Zack would be considered the best LB's in the game. However, I would take Urlacher over Donnie and Zach without even thinking twice.
