If you look at the career numbers for the two players, they are nearly identical.

Well, "nearly identical" leaves a lot of room. Fletcher averaged considerably more tackles a year, both solo and assisted, as well as more sacks and more INTs. I hope you're not arguing the fact that Fletcher is the superior player, because if so you lose a lot of respect.

Forget the comparison if it makes you feel better. Just look at the last three seasons for D'Qwell. What's wrong with that level of production? He could help us.

Sure, he could help us. But as I said in post #544, he'll probably be asking too much, considering his recent decline in performance.
