How many sucessful years did Rudi Johnson Have?
vilma has been in the league one year, zach has been there almost a decade and put up huge numbers in just 13 games last year, shattering all of vilmas stats except interceptions. If I had to pick a linebacker for the future, sure vilma would be a top target, but If I had to pick one now (and ray lewis is taken) I pick zach.SMadison29 said:

I'll admit. I'm biased because he went to my high school, but he IS a good RB.

Vilma was much better than Zach last year. Once again you guys use meaningless tackle #s, Miami opponents had nearly 100 mroe rushing attempts than Jets opponents so Zach had many more opportunites to get tackles AND it's nto tackles that are important it is where they are. Who cares if a tackle is 6-7 yards down the field.
How many times has Zach led the league in Tackling? 6 or 7 times?

Something you expect from a Jets' fan. Think about it for a moment... right now Zach is second to only Ray Lewis. Zach reads plays like no one I have ever seen, he knows where the play is before the ball is off. Actually take some time and watch him in slo-mo, I was amazed how quick he reads. He also moves quite quickly around the field for a guy who is so slow. Not to mention his technique is the best I have seen in the NFL. His tackles are always perfect, how often does someone break off of Zach?
I am not taking anything away from Vilma, he will be a top 3 LB in the near future, and has huge potential (enough to be top 3 all-time really). But right now Vilma is NOT a top 3 LB, and Zach Thomas IS!
Give me a break, he is not now and has never been close to ray lewis and he is nowhere near ray at this moment although ray himself has slipped a bit.Vilma was better than zach in his onyl season, Zach is getting old. How is Zach now all of a sudden better? B/c Miami won and the Jets lost this week? Zach is nowhere near a top 3 LB.

Dude, I know you're a Jets fan so you automatically start off in the hole. However, I don't see how you ar anyone can qualify tackles. There is no stat that seperates tackles for a loss and tackles for a gain. Tackles are tackles. Your team has less tackles because they are lesser tacklers. It's very simple.
And don't jump up on your bandwagon because you happened to have a good year compared to us for once last year. Zach has led the league many times in Tackles over your players when both our teams had opposite results of last year.
If I were you, I'd concern myself with the Jets and why they are all acting like Carnies lately. You can't throw, run, catch or defend. Your coach is helpless and has no control over the mayhem. Your players are punching each other in the face on your own sideline. I think I remember in Ghostbusters, them quoting that all these things are the sign of the apocalypse!
The tackels stat is a very overrated stat, tackles 5 yards down the field don't mean much. The jets had a MLB in Kyle Clifton whp used to average around 200 tackles a year but he was not great he just had alot of opprtunities to make tackles since we were mostly bad. Zach is a good player but ahs never been a great player.
For once? We have been as good or better for 8 years and we have dominated you guys since '98. Opposite results of last year/ We haven't been as bad as 4-12 since 1996 and you guys haven't made the playoffs since 2001.
if I were you I'd be worried about this jets team that is better than yuo and has dominated you winning 11 of 14 instead of worrying where Zach Thomas is rated. Good player, always has been but never great and it's an insult to ray lewis to mention them in the same sentence. Go check ray Lewis' D's in the playoffs and see if they have been thrashed the way the D's Zach has led have.
