hoosierdaddy Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 agree -- it's funny I was just think about how those two + Kelce are our three remaining holdovers from the AR era.\ Amazing to to think we have three guys on our roster in 2021 who were drafted by a coach we hired in 1999. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwestbrook36 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Reggie had more sacks then those 2 combined by 85 Jerome Brown died in the middle of his career and had half of what either one of those 2 had but sure they were right up there. Not saying I don't appreciate Cox and Graham they were good to great and the won a bowl but still they were not even close to Reggie and Brown not even a little. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacesOut Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I am not quite sure that they are Reggie level good. Especially 55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham, 59 sacks in 159 games. Reggie White, 124 sacks in 120 games with the Eagles, and 198 career sacks. This is absolute nonsense, and not even worthy of being its own topic.

Mamula had 31 1/2 sacks in 77 games, so if you double it, 63 sacks in 144 games. Graham is more Mamula than he is Reggie White, and it's not even close. Edited to add It took Graham 80 games to get to 29 1/2 sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to add how good their career was compared to where they were drafted and expectations Derrick Morgan, then next DE taken in that draft, widely considered an underachiever if not a bust, 44 1/2 sacks. Jerry Hughes, the 31st in that draft has 56 sacks. Carlos Dunlap, the 54th pick in that draft has 87 1/2 sacks. Everson Griffin, the 100th pick in that draft has 80 1/2 sacks. Comparing Graham to White is absolute nonsense, especially when he doesn't even compare to some guys in his draft class with sack numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are really discussing comparing the guy number two on the career sack list ( the greatest DE of all time ) compared to the guy ranked 215th on the career sack list.

QBhunter58 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The absurdity of this is amusing. Fletch is a hell of a player, certainly and eagles HOFer (as is BG) and he has def been one of the best DTs in the last decade. From a statistical comp, I think Fletcher measures up with guys like Richard Seymour, Dan Hampton, Cortez Kennedy, and Geno Atkins who are all HOF or potentially future HOF players. Cox is not Donald, but he has been a heck of a player, and TBH I would take him over Jerome. But to put either of these guys in the same discussion with Reggie is just comical. I will admit, I have warmed up to BG in recent years. I was a big JPP and Earl Thomas guy and it took me a long time to get past that, but 55 has earned his spot in Eagles lore and in our hearts. He is a quality player and a really great guy (who's impact doesn't always show up in the stat column). Even more than that he 'gets' what it is to be an eagle, and I will always respect him for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean he is easy to root for and has a likeable personality I would agree. Otherwise 🤣 Or did you mean that both of their initials are CB? cause they have that in common too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you continue to post topics that are not good. You can tell from everyone's reaction that is the case. Brandon Graham is not even in the stratosphere of the greatest DE in NFL history.
