On second thought, I'd take what our sports writers say over what you say.

So does being the second best MLB necessitate that Bowman be rated 90+?
If this pattern is the same for every position, do you know how many players would be rated higher than 90? Sorry but I disagree with that.

You think tackles are the most important stat for a linebacker?

Interceptions
Forced fumbles
Sacks
Fumble recoveries
Tackle for loss

In my opinion tackles are less important than each of those.
