De'Vondre Campbell says is had a better year than Anthony Barr


Pretty dumb on Campbell's part, no reason to call out someone like that and a lot of reason to not do that.
 

I have no problem with the comment. I thought it came across as more of a joke then taking a shot. More playful then serious.
 


Let your play do the talking. Who knows also what was going on behind the scenes as to attitude, work ethics etc.
 




Did Campbell have a better year?


From the article

So, let’s take a look at the numbers from last year.

Player Games Snaps (D) Tackles Sacks FF INT PD
Barr 16 923 75 1 0 0 6
Campbell 16 950 92 2 1 0 4
This is an admittedly facile comparison and it’s pretty close, but at least based on the surface numbers Campbell did have a better year.

For what it’s worth, Pro Football Focus agrees. Campbell earned a 78.7 overall rating last season, good for No. 28 among linebackers. By comparison, Barr got a 71.4 grade, ranking him No. 44 at the position. However, if we go by Bleacher Report Campbell ranked No. 15 among 4-3 outside linebackers, while Barr came in at No. 2, trailing only Sean Lee of the Cowboys.

He was more offended that someone on twitter told him his ceiling is that of Barr right now whereas De'Vondre feels he already did have a better year.

Was he offended though? Idk I might be wrong. I think he is having fun. If Barr replies to him or if it was the other way around I would feel same way. I think Its being blown out of proportion. Its Twitter. That guy pinned his tweet now and is all excited he got to 1000 followers.
 

The Falcons got a steal for sure in Campbell. So good at covering tight ends.
