gastineau had a couple of great seasons, but he also had a couple of not so hot seasons, however he was crap against the run. He was a great pass rusher for sure but he was not the same caliber as Bruce Smith, Deacon Jones, Reggie White, or other Hall of Famers. I'm in my 50's and have been watching and around football for 45 + years and I can tell you that Gastineau is not among the top 25 defensive ends that I have seen play. He was among the top 25 pass rushers from the DE position, maybe.....

Well yeah, I mean even Watt’s had poor seasons. And Gastineau was a pass rusher first.
Agreed
