That is my point, pretty easy to be the best when are are at or exceed league avg in level. Not as easy when you are prob at least 5 lvls lower than league avg.

Maybe not the best in the league, but he plays well.
Comparative stats (Duke : Possible)
Ms Tk : 2:12
Tk/PD Ratio (generally a DB has a low tackle to pd ratio. If it's high either he's not good or his front 7 isn't good): 77/23 : 34/29
It's hard to statistically compare DBs, as I've said. However, having 6 times as many missed tackles is pretty bad. Also, I'm sure that more balls are thrown Possible's way, and he has less PDs than Duke. The best statistical indicator of good DB play is forced incompletion rate (how many times he swats the ball, intercepts it, or knocks it loose from the receiver)
Now I can look through to give you a forced incompletion rate if you want, but if I do and Possible doesn't have the best %, you'll have to concede that he isn't the best. My guess is he isn't even that close with that low of PDs.
Edit: [fixed a smiley bug]
One is he is 7 levels ahead of ITP....2 your team ran and hid once the WPL once announced...3.....The great Duke had 1 tackle against the ABD
You don't understand football if you think a FS having 1 tackle is a bad thing.
Free safeties aren't supposed to play the run even. That's a strong safety's job. When you put 8 in the box, it's almost exclusively the SS.
Also, he said best safety in the league. Not best safety per level. He said he was the lowest level and best safety. Both. That's not true. I could say Spoink is better than most of the DEs in the APL per level (which ofc may or may not be true because he'll need 16 levels before we find that out), but that wouldn't make him good now.
The only reason he has tackles is because he can't defend the pass (a really low pd / tackle ratio tbh) and your front 7 can't play the run.
