His "good" games are FAR less numerous than his non-existent ones.
Why are people propping this guy up? If he wouldn't have had a good season this year, he would have been talked about around here like Eric Fisher and let's face it, Eric Fisher has been FAR more productive than Dee Ford.
It's pure freaking Derrick Thomas nostalgia. It's completely overridden any sense of reason.

Well, I think you're taking it a little far the other direction.
Sacks come in bunches for a lot of these guys. I'm always a little more interested in pressures and such anyway, disruption is disruption.
The reason people are high on him is that he was one of the most disruptive players in the league this last season. Not every player develops on a straight up curve like we'd hope, so it is what it is.
I wouldn't pay him a long term deal because of the age and the injuries.
But if I can get another season like last season for 15 mil, i'll roll the dice and hope he can repeat it.
