You don't get to define reality with your opinion.
Are you one of those guys who has never liked Peko. There were a bunch of people like that around here. they hated on Peko even when he was playing well.
Well, the stats back up my opinion. You don't get to define reality with your bullshit.
Like i said and you conveniently ignored, i did not hate on Peko in 2015 when he played well.

Sacks are not as important as disruption IMHO. Peko was at his best at this in 2015 from what i saw and he produced
some sacks. This was his best year and i was not against keeping him after that, too bad he fell off a cliff in 2016.
He was a good run stopper in his time, but he has also gotten pushed out of running lanes lots in his time and was
never a good pass rusher. He was always a one trick pony and even in 2016 his one trick wasn't good anymore.

He had 37 total tackles. 2nd lowest of his career. His lowest was in 2015 where he had 35. However, in 2015 he recorded 5 sacks. A career high.
Peko amassed 0 sacks last year. Created no turnovers.
Peko stuffed the run 3 times last year. For a total of 4 yards.
Margus Hunt also had 3 run stuffs, but for 6 yards.
135 players had more run stuffs than Peko.
Since people seem to love PFF, he ranked near the bottom for defensive tackles since 2013 except for 2015. In 2013 he had the 4th lowest grade, in 2014 he had the 2nd lowest grade, and last year he was ranked near the bottom again. Not sure what number, but he had below a 46 rating.
Fact is, Peko's time was up. You have to move on from players, and Peko had a terrible year that didn't warrant getting him back. We have a young guy in the waits and it's time to see what he can do. No more living in the past, move forward
Thank you Wolf.
