The Pro-bowl is about trying to get ratings, not who wins or loses, they look for personalities, in which Lavar is, but thats where it ends!

Pro-Bowl or no, Ware and Spears aren't in LaVar's class yet.

I agree, they will prove to be much better.

Arrington in 5 seasons has 22 1/2 sacks.

Ware in 15 games has 7.

He is on his way.

You're overlooking the fact they play in different base systems (Ware 3-4, LaVar 4-3) and LaVar has been shuffled around from ROLB to LOLB and even some DE mixed in.

Besides, sacks alone aren't a great measuring stick of LB's.

Precisely.

Another poor measuring stick of LBs is taking one year's stats and extrapolating it out for the next 5 seasons on the presumption that the production will remain consistent. Good god man, have some sense.

Another thing Offiss, check your stats. Ware in his first 15 games has 55 tackles (11 assists), 7 sacks and 1 pass deflection. Arrington in his first 16 games had 55 tackles (11 assists), 4 sacks and 4 pass deflections.

Unless Ware absolutely wreaks havoc this Sunday, his first season stats will be only marginally different than Arrington's.

If you're gonna pick someone to hold up as a comparison, do some research first, or pick somebody better.
