Dhani brought stability with his ability to "QB" the defense, but he had the body of a washed up LB. So while he was useful, I think some overrate him because he brought stability and because he was such a likable guy.
Fwiw, I was a bigger fan of Crocker than Dhani. Both very intelligent players, but I felt Crock had more in the tank when he signed.
I know. While overvaluing physicality isn't done by everyone we do have our share here. Dhani was definitely on his physical downside but his QBing the front 7 was more than adequate compensation. Especially when they started putting him in positions where he wasn't called on to range from side to side quickly.
