Anyway, I'm not trying to kill the guy, I'd be more than happy to draft him the 2nd round if we don't have a shot at Brown, Orakpo, Maybin, Ayers, or Kruger earlier in the draft..

I don't know, I guess to me 9 sacks doesn't really constitute "very little production."
I know it's just semantics, but I think MJ is a good example of when critique of a player snowballs to the point where it becomes exaggerated and inaccurate. The guy has all the physical tools to be a dominant player in the NFL. Knocking the guy for "taking plays off" might be accurate, but to say that he hasn't produced isn't.
