What color glasses are you wearing as you are being hyper critical of him despite evidence showing he’s not bad and still improving?

They still go into the record books the same. There are no asterisks.
Been looking for the Dick Vermeil quote from when Michael Strahan broke the sack record. Can't find the quote anywhere, though.
I remember him downplaying the fact that Strahan broke the record.... said something to the effect of, "Most of those were bags, not sacks."
Referring to many of his sacks as "coverage sacks".
Wish I could find the clip or a writeup with the quote..... point is, Vermeil wasn't as impressed with Strahan's pass rushing ability as he was with the Giants' secondary.
