because he isn't better than him, nor is he as versatile or asked to do as much. KV missed 3 according to PFF despite playing 200+ more snaps all over the field

Its also a misleading stat. It says the MT was against the Jets. I remember him missing a tackle against Miami that went for a long TD, but he didn't touch him so I guess it isn't a MT

KV saved numerous touchdowns by flying around the field and preventing a big gain from turning into a TD. That doesn't show up on the stat sheets, but it was huge for us

Yeah that Miami one was bad, but wasn't a missed tackle because there was no contact. It was a piss poor angle that took him completely out of the play which is even worse.

I'm not sure it went for a TD though. I seem to remember Vaccaro making the tackle on that play after a LONG gain.

Also, like I said and hope someone can find it because I'm having no luck, I remember hearing Vaccaro only had 2 missed tackles.

I'm almost certain Sharper didn't touch Addai in the Super Bowl, but I'm sure that counted as a missed tackle.

bush did this a ton too.

Im still not sure what Vaccro did to earn him the playmaker label. He was solid at his job, but far from a playmaker in the true sense
