Admit it, how many of you out there knew Khalil Mack was having the season he is having?

He has literally been damn near unblockable, he is double teamed constantly, and still tears up any play on his side, it's all mostly in the run so I guess people don't see it as much, but my god the dude is 2-3 yards in the backfield every single play.

Bobby Wagner, Luke Kuechly.

also some were fapping to Lavonte David last year (me included)

he was less talked about this year.

I saw some of the Raiders gamer today and Mack did look good.

Clowney over Mack

Mack is also held almost every play. I'm a big fan

Pro Football Focus gave him the highest grade for the year of any LB heading into this week's games.

Lou Tepper finally found his drop linebacker when he got Khalil. It only took 20 years, but he finally got to implement his system.

He was fricking NASTY today against the Bills, wrecked havoc all day.

Khalil Mack gets a sack on third down. He might be having his best game of the year. That’d be saying something.

I haven't watched the raiders at all this year, but I'm not about to start listening to anything Hoge has to say.

I mean he's good, but he's not a Luke K, Jamie Collins, or Donte Hightower yet.

Barr or Mack would've been great for Houston when compared to what they got out of Clowney

Mack is currently the highest rated 4-3 outside linebacker, out-grading All-Pro level talent such as Von Miller and Lavonte David. Mack’s real strength comes against the run where he has earned a +45.7 grade. This is over twice as much as the next positional player in that same category (DeAndre Levy, +18.4).

Merrill hogue is so fricking dramatic. Does anybody really take anything he says seriously?

After year 1 when the Texans drafted Mario Williams everyone thought they had made a mistake even then. It's only the first year. Give it a rest, geez. Mario Williams was by far the best choice in that position for the Texans looking at it now.

It's fun to tweak UH, but Mack is a fricking monster and is/will continue to be a potential all-pro in the NFL, assuming he stays healthy.

I've only seen one Raiders game this year, but I was impressed by both Carr and Mack.

I'm not gonna lie, it still pisses me off he didn't walk out to Return of the Mack on draft day.
