You would say Gastineau was a far better pass rusher than Taylor, maybe even a better play maker than him too. You know why, it's because your bias towards NY and all the teams going to the SB with the meda sucking their ***** about ******ed things.
Just get off the Dolphins board for a little while, chill and come back to earth.
OH, and for all you ***** that say "Zach is a well known pile-jumper", who the hell are you to say that he is and someone like Ray Lewis is not? It's because you *******s watch ESPN and NFL network and browse the net all day reading HYPE! You don't watch Miami games, therefore, GET OFF OUR PLAYERS CASES.
Gastineau was a FAR superior pas rusher to taylor, I think taylor is better all-around but DE's are judged by their ability to get to the QBa nd Gastineau was much better at doing so than Taylor.
I got a picture in my head of you laughing and rolling on the ground as you typed that. I bet you said to yourself "Oh my god, check out what crap I am gonna try to pass off on this forum." Did you make that statement on a bet?
In Jordan's last Finals in 1998 he shot the ball 164 times and had 70 FTA's, in last year's Finals Wade shot the ball 139 times and shot 97 FTs. Wade took 25 LESS shots yea attempted 27 MORE FTs.
How has Moss done without Daunte? The guy was obviously injured. He couldn't move for christ's sake.
Moss has given up but he did turn randall Cunningham into an MVP in 1998 and made Jeff george look like a good QB in '99.
it's not even worth debating this anymore. Jason Taylor is a HOFer. he just is. I am Sorry that he happens to play for us, and not you. I know that's the source of this debate, anyway.
It's settled then, you don't bring anything to the argument but as long as you say "he just is" that's good enough for me
I bet if he wore puke green, your tune would be completely different. BTW, Gastineu is not in the HOF because he never played the run in his entire career. A completely one dimensional player. very similar to Trace Armstrong.
DEs are judged on their pass rushing ability and he was dominant at getting to the QB. Again you have this misguided notion that I have these views b/c we are talking about dolphins. I said daunte was overrated for years before you guys got him, I don't think gastineau is a HOFer and last i checked he wore the "puke green", right?
He had 107 1/2 sacks in 10 seasons. JT has 105 with 2 games left in this season (his tenth). JT also has 7 career TD's, 6 INT's and 36 FF's. All of which dwarf Gastineus numbers. So no. Gastineu was not a better pass rusher. Try that one on somebody else who never saw him play. I did.
How do you know thopse #s dwarf gastineaus when there isn't a site that has Gastineau's FF's. I am sure INts and TDs do but Des aren't judged on INTs and TDs.
gastineau played in 137 games, Taylor has already played in 154. Gastineau lost time to 2 strikes, had an injury that allowed him to play 10 games in '86 and retired after 7 games and 7 sacks in '88. Is 107.5 better in 137 or is 105 better in 154?
