100% in agreement, but not on Phil Taylor; he was a very good NT, but had to retire due to medical issues.
As a NT in a 3-4 (for one season, on a horrid defense), he had:
26 tackles, (5 for loss), 2 sacks, 6 QB hits and a PD.
Casey Hampton (whom I still deem to be super-overrated, as he was always surrounded with far-superior talents) averaged:
33 tackles (3 for loss), .75 sacks, 1 QB hit and .33 PDs for his career and he was a 5-time PBer.
Never should've sniffed an accolade, highly-overrated.
If Phil Taylor didn't have career-ending injuries, Shelton wouldn't have been drafted and Taylor would probably still be a stud today.
