The comment that ruined it for me was when Tessitore called Aaron Donald a "generational player." He's had four and half great seasons since being drafted, but if his career ended after this season he wouldn't even make the top 25 all-time great defensive players.

Are you suggesting that broadcasters may be a bit prone to hyperbole?

He wasn't the sack specialist Donald is, but Bryant Young as better against the run and played 14 seasons. He would have put up even bigger numbers and been more dominant had he not suffered a severely broken leg in his 5th season.  He never was quite the same after that injury, but played 9 more seasons post-injury.  In fact, Young missed a grand total of 16 games in 14 seasons, truly remarkable for a guy who played DT his whole career and suffered such a devastating injury.

BY should be in the Hall of Fame.
