You could really make a good case that he's not as good as guys like Marcel Dareus and Patrick Peterson are as good as him as well. Aldon Smith is certainly more talented.
The only player in that draft with a higher career PFF grade than Von Miller is JJ Watt.
Houston's career grade is 124 points lower than Von's. Watt would go #1 overall and Von would still go number 2. [Reply]

Houston has had 87 fewer career pass rush snaps in his career than Von.
Houston also has 46 fewer combined sacks/hits/hurries than Von.
Von affects the QB once every 5.9 pass rushing snaps.
Houston affects the QB once every 6.8 pass rushing snaps.
Von Miller has forced 12 fumbles.
Houston has forced 7 fumbles.
Houston didn't have to come off a torn ACL like Von did and is still a less productive pass rusher. [Reply]
Everyone on Denver's starting OL graded out positively except for Ty Sambrailo, who would've had a positive grade if not for his false start penalty. I never saw our starting OL get dominated physically, and the times they got beat looked like missed assignments. Gotta say I'm encouraged. [Reply]

Yeah, you'd have to be "special" to wear those glasses. [Reply]
