The same type of fans who give Philadelphia a bad name. DTs aren't big stats guys to start with anyways. Speaking of the '06 Michigan defense, Alan Branch had 25 tackles, 6 TFL, 2 sacks, and 1 INT the whole season, yet he was the best player on that defense (LaMarr Woodley a close second). Ever since then, I've learned that DT stats, while they may be nice, don't always tell the whole story. I'd rather Bunkley gets 2-3 sacks per year and owns the middle and gets a top 5 rush defense than 6-8 sacks and a 20ish run defense. He's improved the run defense so much since he became a starter.

Same with me, we have plenty of other weapons who can reach the QB, he is what really helps our run game. I played DT, and if you get 3 or four tackles in a game, that is good, DTs are caught up in the most trash and have to fight through the most stuff that stats really don't matter, especially for the type of DT that Bunk is.

Drew Brees is the best QB in the NFL right now.

No homer, I would put McNabb, Brees, Rivers and Cutler into a hat right next and be happy with whatever I drew. I guess Romo too.

Its kind of funny, I know McNabb and Romo and Rivers etc are all better than Delhomme. But I still wouldn't trade him away for one of them. He's got more 4th qtr come backs and TD passes than anyone currently active except favre.

That's pretty impressive in and of itself.
