They guy had more rushing attempts he went against than any other DE in the league.
We were talking about league stats.
His 1/32 ratio wasn't far off of Bullard who led the league at his position with a 1/27 playing with better talent around him. Marquis Haynes was second at their position with a 1/28 ratio playing next to Robert Nkemdechi.

He has never had a multi-sack game in SEC play
Incorrect. He had two sacks vs SC last year. Only one game but it is what it is.
quote:
In his career he has played in 15 SEC games. In 7 of those games he has not had a sack. In the 8 other games, he only had 1 sack.
So you have to have a sack or multiple TFL every week to be a good DE? That isn't even realistic. In his 2nd and 3rd seasons in the SEC Barkavious Mingo went without a sack in 5 of 8 SEC games. Clowney did the same thing his first and last year and went two games without one his SO year.
Agree to disagree. Carry on.

No, I am correct. You are incorrect, which seems to be a common theme with our conversation in this thread.

Most good DE's put up good numbers against good competition. Regular run of the mill players can put up sack numbers and TFL numbers against weak competition.

Putting up good numbers against good teams is very realistic. Mingo was a solid DE in college and was more known for helping against the run than sacking the QB. Which shows in his numbers as he had games with multiple TFL's.
Clowney was and is overrated and it was known that he took plays off. Using him as an example of a great DE is laughable. He was recruited to Scar on potential and he was drafted on potential, but he takes too many plays off to be considered an elite DE.
