name 5 LB better than him.

well you could defend your argument by asking this, knowing most people can't because no LB's are as hyped or talked about as this guy...or you could maybe provide me with some concrete examples as to why this guy is so next level. Maybe I'm wrong, and will gladly admit when I am....but so far here are the concrete examples listed by the analysts last night
1. Effort: He will chase down RB's 10 yds into the secondary... this leads me to believe he's pretty average. If he was next level, not many RB's would be making it to that level on a regular basis
2. his football IQ is so high: They mic'd him up which pretty much showed him executing the same pre-snap reads that every LB in the league goes through before the snap. Sometimes he was right...a lot of times he was wrong and we gashed them on run plays. Also see the EFFORT argument above. If his reads are so good, and so next level....why does he need to chase down so many people. His next level, high IQ reads should be stopping this.

ETA: I thought it was pretty funny that the stadium would break out the LUUUKKKE chant when he made tackles after we got first downs
