Matt Minich - rookie player comparisons

[Joelist]

Murphy sort of reminds me of Robert Geathers. I just hope we can get more consistent pass rush out of him than we did out of Geathers - who other than pass rush was a pretty good DE.

Damn well better not be like Robert Geathers though.
Geathers only had 34 sacks in his 11 seasons total.
Also, Geathers was a 4th rounder. He produced ok for a 4th rounder, but a 1st round edge better produce at least double that in their career if they're playing 10+ years.

What contract year?
Are you referring to 2006 when he put up 10.5 sacks?
Cuz outside of that year, he never had more than 3.5 sacks in a season.
