Ryan Shazier circa 2012

Throw a little preseason hype and a title run in the mix and the sky is the limit for Shazier when it comes to post season hardware.

It will be amazing to see what he can do on the field with another full year of conditioning under Marotti and another full year of learning under Fickell.

Shazier versus Teo:

Shazier trails only in interceptions.
True, true, true.

But if you seriously think Shazier is as good a linebacker as Teo, I think I don't want you doing my player evaluations. Shazier is really, really good. Teo is a once-in-a-decade player at the position, IMO. Stats do not tell the entire story.

Once in a decade? I'd say that's a stretch. I can think of 3 or more off the top of my head better from last 5 years alone.

Once in a decade? Are you kidding me? Hes not even the best linebacker this year (Jarvis Jones)
