Well you can make the case that all the LB's are not getting it done so far.

Haggans and Foote both have 3 sacks. But have played two more games then Joey Porter.

James Farrior has 1 sack.

Joey has two in 4 games.

Haggans, Porter and Farrior all have 1 INT.

Yes Joey Porter needs to step it up. But to single him out among the LB's doesn't make to much sense.

Porter is the least of our problems right now. I don't think you can call the guy overrated. When he played earlier this year it's not like he played poorly.

Linebackers are indeed known more for sacks. That's why Joey leading the league last season is impressive. It's hard to produce the same numbers when you've only been able to play half the season.

It's obvious that your dislike for Joey has greatly skewed your ability to make any sort of sense when trying to claim that he's over-rated.
