Besides, scotty wasn't speaking on Bowman in particular I think, he was speaking in general on why the tackle stat is not that important.

He should be higher than 88. One of our local newspapers lists Bowman and Keuchly as MLB on first team defense--that's Keuchly and Bowman. They are both on Pro Bowl roster. Yes, I think tackles is most important--shows play recognition and ability to tackle.

Okay, tell me who are the better MLBs than Bowman and Keuchly? On second thought, I'd take what our sports writers say over what you say.

So does being the second best MLB necessitate that Bowman be rated 90+?
If this pattern is the same for every position, do you know how many players would be rated higher than 90? Sorry but I disagree with that.

You think tackles are the most important stat for a linebacker?

Interceptions
Forced fumbles
Sacks
Fumble recoveries
Tackle for loss

In my opinion tackles are less important than each of those.

I'm surprised you would ask that question knowing there are many MLBs rated over 90.

The bottom line here on Bowman is he is considered by sports writers to be first team inside linebacker, aside from making pro bowl: Keuchly and Bowman. Sports writers know more about what constitutes best players at MLB than I do.

25+ players end the season at 97 overall? Madness. I don't agree with everything Dan Berens says but I'll take his player rating system and ideas over the current one.

so a little over 1 per position is ridiculous? I don't think that's bad at all. There was some great play in the nil this year and none of the players over 97 don't deserve it.
