Oher allowed a team-high eight sacks and 42 quarterback hurries this season, according to Pro Football Focus. He had just five penalties this season but is the most frequently penalized player in the NFL since entering the league. He was the last-ranked tackle in the league in run blocking last season, according to Pro Football Focus

According to PFF.

I don't go by what PFF says.

One of my friends is a Ravens fan and he doesn't rate him either. If the Ravens wouldn't give him $5ml a year it shows his worth.

Doesn't matter if PFF or ESPN is saying that, I don't see how that statement is debatable. Honestly, Oher is only a big name because they made a movie about him. He's not that good of a tackle.

Strief allowed 7 the year before last. To me, he's not that good of a tackle. He's a fan favorite, and I'll concede that he's serviceable, but I'm not a fan and never will be. Not to mention, didn't he just turn 30? 30 isn't usually the best time for elite lineman, let alone an average one.

Re: Saints re-sign Zach Strief


Like him or not, no way you would have signed an over-rated Oher for that

EDIT:The Titans are signing Michael Oher to a four-year, $20 million contract with $9.5 million guaranteed

Streif battled a groin injury, suspended head coach and an offseason rife with team ridicule. What was Oher's excuse?

Streif's been a starter for 3 seasons, two of which were above average and the last being his best.

Regardless of favorites, we just resigned a top 10 RT at a great price.

I completely agree with you he wasn't that great in 2012. He really turned it around in 2013 though in my opinion.
