It's laughable. You're going to compare the GOAT at his position (I'm sure there might be some people that would argue that) to a guy that was an underachiever his first 3 years in the league and has never cracked double digit sacks. Let me say that I am not whatsoever talking ish about Graham. He's a big reason why we finally have a Lombardi trophy. But c'mon. And then Jerome to Cox? It's ridiculous 

Now if this thread was about Kelce, that would've made more sense

I love how the stats mongers think the only way to measure BG is his sack totals. No one is Reggie, but BG is one of the best to play the position for the Birds besides him. As the kids would say, no cap.

In 4 less games, Trent Cole has 26 1/2 more sacks, 20 more tackles for loss, and 26 more QB hits.  Comparing BG to Reggie is absurd, and comparing him to Trent Cole would be insulting.

I was just about to say I'll take Cole over Graham

Clyde Simmons has 17 more sacks in 25 less games than Graham.  I wish they had tackle and QB hit stats for those guys, I am sure Clyde would surpass BG in both.

No doubt. Graham has been a fine player for this franchise but let's not hype him up to be something he's not. Trying to compare him to players from the past like the GOAT and Cole are foolish

Me too. 

Graham is the PFF poster child. I hate having to put him down, because he’s a nice dude and he’s been a fine Eagle, but some people are completely out of their minds with this stuff.

Im not 100% sure but isn't there a season that Reggie played where they still were not keeping sack stats?

I wonder how many sacks Norm Willey would've had if they recorded them while he played. He had 8 in one game against the giants

Back to the sack stat, as if it’s the only measure… cool story though. And Cole is also one of the best to play the position for the team. I think comparing their styles and importance to their respective teams is fair, albeit I think BG’s got the nod in the latter category.

So you just skip the other stats 

It’s funny that people want to kill the sack stat, but are gushing over Graham’s hurries. 😂 That’s Mamula people.

If they tracked how many of those hurries and pressures led into a negative play for the opposing team I'd care more. 

DE get paid to get after the qb. Cole did it better then Graham. Gtfo with this dumb qb pressure ish. Sacks impact the game greater then pressures

All those sacks Reggie and Trent Cole collected?

The sum value of all of them is still less than this one sack. I put respect on Brandon Graham's name.
