It seems we are comparing Nelson’s best year to a fairly forgettable one (by Breeland’s standards, possibly due to injury recovery and new scheme fit).
Based on their careers and taking other factors into account, I don’t believe we got the worse player.

How different was their scheme? Both the Redskins and Packers ran a 3-4. Beyond that, i don't know. Do you? Did one team play more man vs zone?
Feels like more of excuse than anything without some actual evidence on the table.
Injury? Sure, I'll entertain the notion that he was slowed by injury recovery. It's a worthy "IF".
