98 tackles and 4 sacks his first year as a Saint.

69 tackles and 2 picks in the Super Bowl year. He was straight.

Stats are not a very good measure of a player's ability.

Statistically, his first year is the only one that sticks out as good. However, if we base everything on stats Lofton would be the best Saints LB to play the game and we know that's not the case.

Missed Tackles are a statistic too.

Forced Turnovers, which show a lack thereof, are also an indicator.

There were measurables, statistics, to show that Lofton had a poor tenure with the team.
