The last 3 years Donald has 30 sacks and Geno has 29.
And the Bengals re-upped Geno for 6 mil less per year, that's a deal comparatively.
QB pressures are not a quantifiable stat because there are no results of what that pressure lead to. If you got pressure on the QB but he completed a pass, that particular pressure was meaningless. And there is also no clear cut description of what a pressure is, there is just PFF spitting out the numbers. What constitutes a QB pressure? That's why it's not an official NFL stat because there is too much discretion left to the whoever is tracking it. The CFL did away with it this year as an official stat for that very reason.
On the other hand, I know what tackles and sacks result in, the ball carrier on the ground. While i agree that Donald is the slightly better player at this point in their careers, the gap is very minimal.
If you dismiss the stats I am using, then there’s really no argument to be had here. I disagree with you, you disagree with me and we have little grounds to have a discussion on. I think via the eye test, Donald comes away as the superior DT. Maybe it’s confirmation bias, but it would be appear that Donald is the clearly better DT is rather widespread.
In the end, we’re all on the same side here
