What is your main gripe with the proposed Briggs deal?

As I've said previously, unless Briggs is out of this world and clearly, clearly beats out Rocky, why are we making this trade? Is he really that good?

I dont think you can put Rocky in the same class as Briggs. Briggs has been to a couple of pro-bowls and is regarded as one of the top LB's in the NFL. Rocky hasn't even started half the season, and the announcers would probably have to look at their sheet to figure out who #52 is.
Briggs is A TON better than Rocky at this point.
Major upgrade.
