Another PFF article. For the past 3 years, CJ is the 4th highest ranked DE (#8 when including OLBs). Peppers is the #11 DE, #18 overall. These rankings are based on some formula using averages per snap, not raw figures. Tyler Brayton is the 5th worst pass rusher among pass rushers meeting the minimum snap requirement.

For 2010, CJ is the top DE, #2 overall only behind Tamba Hali. Greg Hardy was #36 overall, Brayton was the 4th worst and Everette Brown was 18th worst. Peppers wasn't even top 20 for 2010.

Stats obviously don't tell the entire story, but these are pretty interesting.

i see G-Hard doing big things once he starts starting.

Which should be this year with Brayton only serving spot relief when someone needs a breather or in case of injuries and Brown subbing in on the occasional pass rushing down.

All the more reason to lock CJ up. Pay the man. Hardy and Brown will get phased out without him. Hardy isn't ready to be the main guy yet.
