Nobody has called Joe Burrow a 5,000+ yard passer for throwing 4,600 yards in the regular season. Once you start adding postseason stats to counting numbers, you're making it literally impossible to compare seasons between players on different teams which is why nobody does it.
The 5.5 sacks is 12th among DTs, his 6 TFL had him in a, 11-way tie for 19th (so 29 DTs with at least 6), PFF has him as their 26th DT.... if you want to include postseason stats for all the players, I am going to need Excel and a couple days.
Yeah people mostly use reg season stats for comparisons and whatnot, but I also hear plenty of people combining reg season and playoff stats if the player had a big playoffs like Hill did. Stats are used in all sorts of ways to prove all sorts of points about a player's greatness or lack thereof.
Hill's playoff performance is especially relevant here, because you said he's a risk because he wasn't a starter. Well he was in the playoffs, and he was exceptional.
Based on those rankings (and throw in a great playoff run) and I'd say Hill got around what he deserved. Maybe a tiny overpay, but maybe not. Contracts are always increasing as the cap does.
Just trying to make you feel better, bro. I don't think it's as bad as your initial sticker shock when you provide context.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
