What's our greatest need now?

You guys are probably overrating Carter's pass rushing ability, and setting yourselves up to be disappointed. I think you could list the guys in the NFL who are consistent 10+ sack guys year in and year out on one hand.

Is he underrated leaguewide? Perhaps. He's been a very good value signing for us thus far.

But 10+ a year the norm? When did he become Strahan, Kampman, or even Patrick Kerney?!

I would think the norm for him would be in the 7-8 range -- above average for a defensive end. Even then, I hope I'm not just giving him the benefit of the doubt simply because he wears the B&G.
