Rey is steady at being bad.


He has out performed his ability thanks to the design of the defense. His value is in Vontaze being injured and the defense is designed for the WLB to make tackles.
And yes you can. Look at Peko's tackle numbers. Tackles are one of the worst stat to judge a player on. 
Are 15 tackles after a play has already gained 5+ yards better than 5 tackles that prevent more plays from occurring? 
Tackles are also subjectively given out by the stats guys at each stadium. What counts one week as a tackle, isn't the next. 

The goal should be to get better. Not get the same-r. 
VRey is a "Swiss Army Knife" in the way he is decidedly mediocre at every position he plays. 
He does nothing PJ Dawson couldn't do. 


Eventually we have to get better. Re-signing middle of the road at best LBs for 5 mill a year and have 2 (or more) on the roster at the same time, is why you get bumped in the first round every year.

Your logic does not work.. Linebackers are the main tacklers are most all teams.. Look at the top 40 tacklers for 2015.. like 80 percent are Linebackers.  To say he did well because he was designed to make tackles is  what all teams do.  

Sorry you can't just discount that he is in the top 25 in the NFL I believe over the last two years in overall tackles... He is a good player.. can play all LB positions.. 

and sorry I will trust the coaches judgement way over a arm chair QB like you that is just dissing on Rey without any true stats.. Marvin I believe already mentioned that Rey is at or near the top of the list for them in FA's.. makes sense to me especially with how thin we are at LB
