Agree. I think Buckner's issue is consistency. Justin Smith brought it every game. Peak BY did as well. He certainly has all the tools to get there. And now he has the horses next to him. Just has to do it.

This was the issue last year.. sure he had 12 sacks, but if you watched all the games, he's no where to be found on some quarters...... and this is why he's yet a SUPERSTAR !!!


He's not wrong. DeFo is not a superstar yet.

Good player he needs to stack 3 solid seasons before we call him star player.

Sure, if he wants to be a solidstar.

If that's the definition of zero sacks or 2 sacks. Not trying to say he isn't solid or sacks are easy, but he went 7 games with zero sacks last year.

They're also not the only mode of production. But, overall, he simply is not as consistent as the other players many on this board think he shares status with.

And ADonald went 6 games with zero sacks last year. I don't know where this is going.

Smith and BY each had some 1 and 0 tackle games in their careers.
Both were elite, like Buckner.

Not at all. Buckner is not above criticism just because he is the best player on the team. You asked if O was a Troll when I said he was the best but failed to tell me why you disagreed.

Some people don't understand the role of a 3tech, especially in a wide 9 scheme. Thl and jonydel trys to educate, but it falls on deaf ears for stat sheet judges. I chalk it up to amateurs that just doesn't know the game of football

This!!!! Forget it Woo, Buck didn't get a sack and 3 tackles so he was inconsistent and sucks because of that
Arguing over Buckner being a superstar or not is silly.

We should all be over analyzing about 24 other players in this roster lol he's the least of our worries.

I think we have. At some time or another most of the major players and every unit has been praised or ripped. Sometimes the praise is way too premature and the ripping gets a little silly but I guess that's what we do as fans. I prefer praise over ripping but they need to do something to earn the praise first.

I hear you. He's easily one of the best players on our team so I find it amusing we are arguing about how "great" he is lol

I said he sucks, what did I make up? Exaggeration is fun
the guy is a very good player, but let's stick to that for the moment..

let him earn his stripes.
