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.

Why don't you put me on ignore?

I realize Reggie is possibly matched only by Deacon Jones.  I just started this thread because these 2 have been 2 of our best players for several years and we just don't treat them with any reverence while Reggie and Jerome are viewed as gods.

Reggie is the best DE in the history of football.  Brandon Graham was the 1st DE taken in 2010, and 5 guys have more sacks than him.  The entire topic is absurd.

Your problem is you think you have some ground breaking thought worthy of its own topic, when it is an average post at best.   And the fact that it took you a 6 week hiatus from the board to come up with it speaks volumes.

I stay away from here because you have harangued me on every single thread I've ever started.

Because your topics are not worthy of their own thread.  That is why a bunch get moved to R&R.  

Looking at your topic history, I only responded to 2 of the first 9 topics you started, 4 got moved to R&R.

they only started getting moved when I started not taking your crap.

This thread is right up there with whatever the hell Bobbywizdum used to post.

Your first 3 topics moved to R&R I did not even post in.

Here is your fist 9 topics.  Arrow on right shows moved to R&R, arrow on left shows the star indicating I posted in the topic.  Not at all BS.

For as much as I can't stand bobby his threads weren't actually that bad, he had ones that at least stayed in TATE and some actually got up too 50 pages and more. Everything he posted in those threads from then on was stupid lol.

Yea but is it actually 50 pages and more when its the same damn back and forth argument for 50 pages?

Well to be fair that's every single thread on this whole damn board lol

Jerome Brown is a bad example as he was incredible, but his career and life were cut tragically short. 

Reggie White was a generational player, talked about as one of the best players of all time, not just the best DE of all time. 

You can't compare Cox or Graham to him. Cox at his best is an all-pro talent, but doesn't always play to his ceiling. Even at his best though, he's played second fiddle to Aaron Donald. Graham is just a very good DE and likeable guy who developed late and maintained a high standard as he got older. 

Both Graham and Cox get a lot of justified praise, but nobody will compare to Reggie. It's just a shame he had to leave to get his Super Bowl.

@JP HOF lets analyze some of your topics.

Run right! - I just want to predict right here that Miles Sanders will lead the NFL in rushing this year.

Is this really worthy of its own topic ??  This is a post for the blog.

Boston Scott is gonna have a big year - He's unstoppable.

See above

What happened with Matt Pryor? - was he injured too?

See above

I guess they didn't prepare for the end around play - or pretty much anything else either?

See above.  Could have been discussed in the blog or the gameday thread.

Totally Fed Up with Doug's Issues with Simple Math - The man is an idiot.

See above.

 

When your post contains less text than the topic title, it is not worthy of its own thread.

It actually sucks that it took as long as it did with Graham. If he played the way he has the last few years from the start he would of been a home run of a pick. 

Although I think it was always there for Graham but, his first few years his career was almost derailed completely from injuries , coaching changes, scheme changes ect. So for him to keep at it and end up the way he is now is awesome and I appreciate that from him.

Yeah agreed. 

I hope we can get something done with Barnett, as I think his career could follow a similar path to Graham.

And only 3 times did Graham have enough sacks in a season, 9.5, 8.5 and 8, that was over half of what Reggie averaged a season, 14.

I like Barnett and I think he could surpass Graham if he can stop being an idiot and stay healthy of course but, that's a given

As much as I like both of them, and both of them will forever be enshrined in my Eagles HOF for 2017, they don't compare to Reggie at all. Of course Cox plays a different position, so he'd have to compare with Jerome whereas BG would have to go up against Reggie. 

At first blush, I don't think I'd compare Fletch with Jerome. But is that sentimentality on my part? I don't know. I'd have to think more on it. Nobody can compare to Reggie, though.

Through their first 5 seasons ( sadly, Jerome's only 5 seasons )

Cox, 79 games, 28 1/2 sacks, two pro bowls

Brown, 76 games, 29 1/2 sacks, two pro bowls, 2 first team all pro

 

Wish I could find a site that shows tackle and tackle for loss stats for Jerome.

Dirty Cox should be off this team. He's near the end, and way overpaid at this point. Plus, I don't want a ****monger who leads vulnerable rookies (see Nelson Agholor) to houses of ill repute. Call me old-fashioned.

The word above starts with a W. I also couldn't even write that P-word in another topic that refers to what some of us men have between our legs. C'mon, man! Really?

I know that the numbers are pretty even. Very similar, sack wise. They both averaged something like .39 sacks per game played. But there's more to it than their individual numbers. I tend to feel like Jerome was just much more of a force. Not that Fletch isn't a force. But, Jerome was just 'that much' more of a force. A portion of Reggie's numbers can be credited to just how much of a force Jerome was. 

It's not really something that I can explain, but having watched Jerome's career (in the NFL), it's just something that I feel. If I'm picking Fletch at his prime or Jerome at his prime, and I can only have either one of them for 5 years... I really have to go with Jerome. He was just THAT good. 

I look back at his career and think to myself that he would have been an all-time great for the Eagles. Hall of Fame bound. But at the same time, I have to believe that he'd have wound up leaving in free agency, because of Braman, just like the rest of that great D did.

You shouldn't use words of "ill repute." 

Is this a bad time to remind everyone that Brandon Graham and Mike Mamula have the same average stats? 😂
