Shows how out of touch ESPN is. They look at stat lines and nothing more. As mentioned in another post, Paul was consistently out of position and bit on every play action fake. Easy to make more tackles when you constantly cheat towards the LOS.
That being said, I am not one of those people who thinks he is terrible. Give him a little experience and he will develop into a nice player in a linebacking corp that will be insanely good in two years if not next year. Just imagine all of these young guys with 3 years of experience backed up by guys who are even more talented than they are. Starts to sound like the good old reloading years.
