Ultimately there just isn't a dispositive stat. You need to look at all of them in total. If a guy's getting a LOT more pressures than his contemporaries, that probably means something. If he's getting 3-4 more over a half season...eh, that probably doesn't mean much. If a guys getting a ton of sacks but has a poor pass rush win rate (i.e. Dunlap last season) that doesn't bode terribly well for continued success and it means he's probably a matchup and/or coverage dependent player rather than a true difference maker. Whereas someone with fewer sacks but a better pass rush win rate is probably making more noise on a snap to snap basis but ultimately is likely to have some shortcoming in his game (for Karlaftis it's probably bend) that prevents him from finishing those plays. You just need to be able/willing to view it all together to see how effective a player's really being. I think when you do that with Karlaftis you get a guy who's bee solid. A fine use of the pick. A double in the gap, so to speak. I'll take what we've been getting out of him and it demonstrates a solid foundation to build from.

It takes time for these guys to adjust to the speed of the pro game

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ms#prwrplayers Someone posted a link for the rookie EDGE I think in the Frank Clark sux thread a few months ago, and the average was 10 or 12%? Maybe someone else can find that metric. What I remember is that it put George in the top-5 for rookie EDGE.

Yep 100%. Constant sunshine pumping and getting pissed at anyone that questions anything does get annoying

Does the golden age of Chiefs football call more for "sunshine pumping" or doom and gloom?

I'm not miserable at all. I value all opinions. That's why I'm here. Love hearing Chiefs takes that are different than my own. People caliling others name and being all uppity and bitching about others for having an opinion one way or the other is the annoyance.

Best thing I can find on his pressure rate is that it's around 9 percent. Which is average-ish. I think it's reasonable to believe he's going to improve from those totals moving forward. Most pass rushers do, unless they're absolute freaks of nature whose physical traits are so good they instantly explode (ie Parsons).

Ha, it's a fair point. But like htismaqe says it's pretty nauseating either way right? There's a fair bit of doom and gloom and a fair bit of needlessly jumping down the throats of people who just disagree with you in the margins. It's odd.
