Re: Is Urlacher the Most Over Rated Player in the NFL?
[ QUOTE ]
Follow-up questions: Which position is more important, Safety or MLB? Who would you rather have on your team, Urlacher or Troy Palamalu? [/ QUOTE ] I'd say MLB. Both elite at their position, if I think MLB is more important than safety than I would take the elite MLB.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Urlacher is probably the fastest MLB in the league [/ QUOTE ] lol, no [/ QUOTE ] Would quickest be a better word? Maybe he isn't the fastest, but he seems to get to the ball carrier as fast as any other MLB in the league due to good anticipation. [/ QUOTE ] Yea, that's why his average tackle is for like a 10 yard gain.(exaggerating yes, but it's very bad) [/ QUOTE ] In 2004 his average tackle was 3.4 yards from the line, and he had a Stop Rate of 74% (which is very good for a LB). In 2005, those numbers dipped towards the middle of the pack, 4.1 and 64%. As has been pointed out, though, Urlacher makes a lot of plays other MLBs can't, chasing down ball-carriers from behind or on the other side of the field, which are very positive plays for his defense, but which hurt these particular stats.
