Although I like what Arrington brings to the field, Offiss made a very good point in bringing up that he never lived up to expectations. Many people said he'd be the next Lawrence Taylor (when Arrington first entered the league). Kind of the same way potentially great rookie safeties are compared to Ronnie Lott. Arrington has been solid, but his stats do not reflect Taylor type numbers. How many times did LA post 10+ sacks and 100+ tackles per season? LT had 7.5 sacks in 1991, when he was in the twilight of his career. Arrington only posted more than six sacks in a year just ONCE. Am I saying he's a bad player? NO. But he never did live up to the hype surrounding him.
