Now I am looking at your two best FS right now, Sonny Forelli and will take a look at how they stack up (with Targeted, RecAlw, and KL removed as they were not tracked back in Erics day).
Sonny Forelli: 80 games, 1 Hry, 0 Sacks, 16 PD, 0 Int, 211 Tk, 5 TFL, 0 DefTD, 13 FF, 0 Sfty
Eric Thorson (adjusted to show his first 5 seasons): 80 games, 6 Hry, 1 Sack, 77 PD, 5 Int, 395 Tk, 6 TFL, 2 DefTD, 1 FF, 0 Sfty.
Now keep in mind, your FS is very good, but in the same number of games, without boosting half the time, my FS put up more Hurries, sacks, a ton more PDs, more Ints, and almost twice as many tackles... so I think it is safe to say, I do know how to build a good dot.
Do you remember this? Do you remember comparing a dot that was an ST gunner to a dot who played defense, well it turns out that even my ST gunner is now better at defense than your own defensive dot. He was extremely unbalanced until literally lvl 72 when he finally was a complete build capable of both forcing fumbles and playing coverage.
I'll take his last 78 games to be mostly fair and compare it to your dot who never made it past lvl 40
6 hry, 2 sacks, 85 PD, 1 Int, 292 tk, 14 TFL, 1 DefTD, 20 FF, 0 Sfty
And when you include KL's his rec-allowed rate is below 33%, even though he is strictly built to force fumbles, which he does extremely well, he was still able to defend the pass better than your FS who was not built to force fumbles.
But that's neither here nor there. These dots are so drastically different that any comparison between the two has no logical basis nor any meaning whatsoever. They both played during completely different sims, they both had completely different ALG's, different competition, different AEQ available, different SA's available, different VA's available, different AI schemes and defensive plays available, completely different age and league structures, and on and on it goes.
Your original comparison was no more valid than this sham comparison I made now, and if you still do not understand why this comparison is irrelevant then you really should just stick to making your own dots and stop giving people any advice or attempting to compare dots at all.
