He could be the most over-rated LB we've ever had.

Overrated? I think he did a pretty good job while he was here. Shanle's the ine that's overrated.

Had we offered him what the Browns did, he would have been the most OVERPAID LB we ever had. But to call him over rated makes no sense to me.

Nobody ever called him a super star. He's the most productive outside linebacker we've had since the days of Keith Mitchell and Charlie Clemons. Granted he wasn't nearly as productive as those two were in their best years, but then he wasn't really expected to be.

I'd love to have a dynamic, pass rushing OLB again, but if we have to settle for less glamorous type of players, I'll take what Fujita gave us any day over some of the slop we've had over the last decade.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
