It is sort of silly to compare him to guys that don't even play his position, it would be difficult to assess how good he is at MLB compared to how good another player is at SLB for example. Different roles, not really fair to compare.
If someone could post his MTs and stops compared to other MLBs, then I could make the decision whether the stats say if he's mediocre or not. Until then, I'll go with what my eyes have told me and they're saying that he has played well at times, but has seemingly missed a lot of tackles so far this year (more so than his peers around the league in comparison to snap counts). I'd like to see if the stats back that up though, because I could be wrong.
I know in college FB, tackles vs. snaps by LB's as a percentage are kept by some teams to determine effectiveness on the field. I may be wrong, but I've never seen the percentage of Missed tackles vs. Snaps. The problem may be that a missed tackle can be subjective. This is because a play made or missed can be determined by a fraction of a second in where the defensive player was in respect to where the ball carrier was at that time. A defensive player may have been out of position due to a block or covering a gap that did not give him the best angle to make a tackle.
So looking at Snaps vs. Tackles might be a better ways of determining effectiveness on the field by a player. Again, if there is other data out there, I would like to see it posted.
